quick comment -

If it is running stageIII (i'm guesing JPS 'leon green' stage III as i had them) you should be pushing a hell of a lot more than 390!

How much boost is it running?

With a 255lph pump/walbro and an uprated FPR you could run 1.4bar and be knocking on 500bhp with a set of cams and mapping.

I was running 480 on std cams with 'stageIII' hybrids, walbro pump and FPR.

I actually thought this car was my old one re-sprayed for a while

Same turbo's, rear lights the same, same wheels, same boost gauge, same BOV, same front bumper, TRL defenders, DSBC-R

Get it on a rolling road or wideband and see how much boost you are fueled for.....

PS.... carefull in the wet please. AND Auto is great isnt it.

Oh oH. Remove the trac fuse and to get rid of the shite TC and get quicker shifts.

I have no idea what she's running mate, really need to get it on a rolling road, I'm itching to find out.

All I know is that the turbos are 'Stage III Hybrid turbos'. I'll dig out the paperwork I have on it and see if they offer up any more info...

It's currently running 1.1 bar, have been told it could run 1.4 easily but set at 1.1 so as not to push it. Some uprated injectors could see it run at 1.4+ apparently.

I won't pretend to know a lot about it because I don't, I'm relatively new to Supras but I'm soaking up as much info as i can

Don't worry, I'll be taking it easy in the wet. It stepped out of line today at the lights and i wasn't really giving it much, i'll be driving like my nan when it comes to wet roads.

I heard the traction control was shit.... can i not just switch it off via the button or does the fuse have to be removed?

Thanks for the info fella

switching it off via the button works, but doesnt cut it completely. The car really does perform better with the fuse out. It had down sides though. The TC ligts flash on the dash and something like the OD doesnt work. Cant fully remember, ask on mkIV.

I ran 1.4 bar... it was safe enough. Run octane booster to make sure. The car is a completley different beast at 1.4bar.

New injecotrs and an ECU liek a power FC would get you running 500+

they are a better box. It depends on driver preferences though. Many people prefer the auto to the manual but some just like to be more involved.

There's nothing quite like just putting your foot down and getting endless pull all the way up to 150mph

(and no, I haven't gone faster than that...)

I like using OD mode now and then. Will have to check it out on MKIV and see what they say.

thanks
