That looks pretty good mate! Power figures?

Awesome car

I did have the el-glo dials but removed them when i installed at 300km/h speedo

did you do the TTC yourself do you prefer it over normal sequential I heard it can laggy

Oh and woo hoo a Supra welcome

Thanks guys. I haven't had it on a dyno yet so I'm not sure on power, it's currently running 13psi.

Yea I did the TTC mod myself, I also did the whole conversion (2jzgte) myself with an engine hoist, a jack and some axle stands lol. I only recently did the permanent TTC mod because my sequential system was playing up, it couldn't get more than 6psi in first and sometimes it wouldn't engage the second turbo in other gears. When I did the TTC mod I didn't just wire the valves open I removed both of them (and everything else to do with the sequential system) as I had the turbos off anyway, it is defiantly more laggy than sequential but I don't think its too bad as it starts making boost around 2800 and get full boost around 3300 rpm and I much prefer a system that is reliable and predictable.

hey mate welcome!

good to see another supra!

finally some 2jz competition

what type of wheels you got? sizes?

Thats awesome. I've only just gotten into performance cars so i'm very much a beginner. I've been thinking about doing the TTC just to see the difference but the sequ system is great (when working ) At one point the 2nd turbo wasn't engaging I was worried i had fucked it but luckly it was just a loose hose

haha, they are Speedy Inferno 18x8 front and 18x9 rear with 235/40 and 265/35 Yokohama s.drives (Going to be replaced with Kuhmo KU36s eventually).

If you want to try the TTC mod you can do it by changing around a couple of vac hoses or you can actually setup a switch on the dash that can switch between both mods, I had the switch previously and it is very easy to setup, if you are interested I can get more info for you. The TTC mod also increases the exhaust volume from idle.

very nice! im looking to get some big wheels in next few months! see if i can get more traction with wider wheels!

Sweet ride mate. Interior looks awesome. Would be very interested in your power figures.

id like to organise a club dyno day

Who's dyno? Howell's?

I MAY be able to get PA's Dyno for a decent price, which will cater for fwd, rwd and awd!

Of course....forgot we would need an AWD one.

Haha yea I don't get much traction either cause I don't have an lsd yet

Yea a club dyno day would be good

Sounds good i am interested in what mine will produce

yeh we will have one! one day! when we can find someone willing to let us use it for a nice price! we will just say everyone will give like $20 for 2 runs or something. i dunno the going rate! anyway, something to look into soon!
