RedM Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 He's running that TTC mod. I guess that'd do it. Shame about the driveshaft in one of his other vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 TTC isn't so bad afterall lol. I've always said it's a lot easier to launch in TTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 whats TTC when its at home fellas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 whats TTC when its at home fellas? True Twin Conversion. Do a search mate. Basically it takes away the sequential system and both turbos come in together. There are 3 ways to do it, all with walkthroughs on here somewhere It's a popular mod on RX7s but not so much on here for some reason. I did it and loved it.

It costs very little although you will have to get an EBC and also the fuelling tweaked to suit. I did have it in the black one before I went single. And no, it won't be anywhere near as fast as a single. You are only changing the order of things, not how the air actually flows so in theory power should be about the same. It will feel like a different car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 it'll also be much louder but no quicker 5 min job to do; http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/andy.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 it'll also be much louder Oh yeah, and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I personally hated it on my auto...sounded nice but was laggy as hell, although it might be different on a 6-speed car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 had a read up and dont fancy it - although the loudness does interest me!! seems like a lot of hassle (no idea on cost of this plus supporting mods) for no real extra gain!!

Gaz6002 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 for no real extra gain!! 11.01 on stock twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 lol - oh yeah, apart from that!!! doh! so all these people saying they've done it and saw no real gains/were'nt impressed......obviously didnt notice the 2 second 1/4 mile gains!!

AndrewOW Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 A mate on here converted mine, just to see how it felt. I must say the power comes online like a switch once you get to around 2500 revs, but I do prefer the 'progressive' turbo 1 then 2 for most of my driving. That's not to say I wouldn't mind a decent single set-up one day (like Wez's for example ). EDIT: Video was impressive by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 so TTC is the same as a single without the massive turbo..therefore not as quick as a single, but still one big surge when it comes in? anyone know what BHP a TTC bpu supra is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 About the same BHP as it is already (you're only swapping vacuum pipes around a bit), but the power is delivered all at the same time, which although amazing, could render you embedded in a tree somewhere!

Only if your right foot is a bit disabled. It's actually easier to drive than sequential mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Only if your right foot is a bit disabled. It's actually easier to drive than sequential mate. I was only saying that, as a quick comparison. If you're used to the sequential system, and then the bolt of the TTC, it a real contrast. And no my right foot isn't disabled, just a bit twisted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 So there you go folks, it's official. Go TTC, take 2 seconds off your 1/4mile time. You heard it here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 So there you go folks, it's official. Go TTC, take 2 seconds off your 1/4mile time. You heard it here first. Is there an even truer conversion I can do to knock 4 seconds off? Like make the turbos take a lie detector test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Looks like drag wheels all round on the supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
