Spardz Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I had a similar set up a while back, set boost limit to 1.2, and they blew when i hit that. i would stick to 1.1 if your running standard ceramics unless you have the money to get hybrids/single just in case.

MR SUPRA T Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 i have a uk spec supra, wouldnt the turbos be more durable than the j spec you had with the cerimac turbo set up - my original thoughts were 1.2 even, but you say your turbos blew up this was on a j spec right.

Spardz Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Yeah it's a j-spec, sorry didnt realise it was a UK, im sure someone on this board must be in a similar situation as you with a Uk spec, they bound to be along any..........minute..............now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spardz Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Im in Tring/Chalfont St Peter, depending on work etc. Its black (Surprise surprise), its off the road for a few months while i pay off another car to use day to day, the supra is modded far to much to use a daily driver now, should be back on the road in a few months. There is a few people in wycombe now with supras i think. Might get a bucks meet sooner than we think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Personally I'd get rid of at least one of your cats before hitting higher boost like that. By removing your cat/cats you'd get better spool times (needed on a UK) and the temps of your EGT will be lower as well. Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR SUPRA T Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 what is egt sorry if i sound like a fool for asking this the second cat will be removed next week do you think 1.2 is to high and i should stick to 1.1 maybe then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Borsta Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Really don´t think you should push harder than 1bar with the ceramic CT-21 J-spec. turbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR SUPRA T Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 I have not got the j spec set up (the j spec turbos use the ceramic blades and the UK spec turbos use the steel blades which would be stronger and able to take slightly more of a higher boost i think 1.1 would be the best set up at the moment. 1.2 to at maybe a later stage once i can aford the intercooler does anyone know what would be a good one to go for as there are so many on the market. i have been looking a HKS because of the quality but if anyone can recommend other makes pls say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
