osso Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I am not disappointed with the Supra's performance anymore! not now that the supra is RUNNING SO MUCH BETTER NOW!! My 2nd Turbo is now working! WOOHOO! for the first time since I collected my Supra from my importers over 5 weeks ago, I have now got a Supra which performs how a completely standard Supra RZ-S VVTi should!! I don't feel a 2nd Kick from the Turbo but I do feel the extra power surge at 4000 revs! I popped over to see dude in Newhaven this afternoon, and he confirmed exactly what I thought the problem was, the people who replaced the turbos mistakenly put the small hoses coming from the pressure tank into the wrong pressure lines which was why my 2nd turbo wouldn't kick in, they just needed to be swapped, which took a couple of seconds for dude to do, and went out for a spin, immediately I noticed a huge difference! to ya John, I would not have been able to swap the hoses myself, without that handy tool of yours All I need now are my Defi Gauges and A-pillar! hurry up Paul E Dude, just a quick reminder, could you give me the number for dent magician, and the bloke who can supply me with those set of tools we talked about, thanks in advance!

Scooter Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Nice to read a story with a happy ending. From the numerous threads i've seen your initiation to Supra ownership has not been pleasant! Lets hope you can forget all about pressure tanks and VSV's for a while and can just get on and drive the thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osso Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 I am really pleased! I am really glad that everything has finally been sorted out, its been over 5 weeks since I've owned the supra and I have not had a pleasant experience owning the car until now!! Now I wanna get my Supra on a Dyno I've never seen a plot of a completely standard Supra and I would like one before I start on mods. i am going to take it easy for a little while to run my turbo's in first, gotta look after these babies now! don't want another blown turbo! You're right Dude, I was very close to giving up, I was beginning to regret selling the MR2 GT Turbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cargill Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Originally posted by dude "Run In" can someone explain this please ????????? Dude:flame Dev A few years ago I went with a mate to collect his new Cosworth. We asked about running in and the sales guy said moden engines don't need any (no comments please....) Nice bit of road with after 5 miles of getting out of town. Tested rev limiter in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
