The project is just about complete, car made 470 bhp @ 0.8 BAR & 570 bhp @ 1.25 BAR (don't know exactly how reliable those figures are as per most dynos) before trouble with the head meant some head work. Once that's done hoping to run 1.5 BAR (maybe 1.6) and getting some fun back from the car.

[jevansio]

Thank you Ian

[LukeBird]

Yeah looking very nice!
Like the above comment, don't see many non-bodged ones!
Bet it's just a little quick as well

[jevansio]

Cheers Luke, yeah it was very quick at 0.8 BAR, I can't wait to try it at 1.5

Very nice car buddy, i love the Supra along with the Skyline GTR (R32,33 and 34), RX7 and NSX. all those cars have massive potential.... and here is proof. these 2 cars are awesome, the Japanese boy's really know what they are doing

The Top Secret Supras are brilliant too

[steve bowen]

very nice, got to get the boost up 2 bar no probs a friend (Ryan at 2 Bar tuning) is running 1.2 bar on the stock engine and dyno'd at 500bhp couple of weeks ago at Charlies.

[jevansio]

Cheers Deano, you've got to love the Amuse Supra & the Mines Skyline.

Thanks Steve, yeah I know Ryan from the Supra forum (pity he doesn't touch the AEM I use on mine), top guy

[Cruize_90]

Everyone loves a Skyline. If I had the money I'd have one, ship it to Nizmo and have it come back like Terminator on Viagra.

Car looks sweet mate, nice 1

Very nice car

I'd have mine tuned by Nizmo and dressed by Veilside.

I like the Supra, and yours is the mutts nuts.

[sirhc]

Great link there DeanoM12.
Thought that Supra reved up a bit but he was nudging 9000rpm in that Skyline.
The Japanese are engine wizards

Great looking car there Jevansio, very stealth.
Just seen the engine pics in the 'show us your heart' thread.
Looks great under the bonnet to.
Gota be pushin 620-630BHP running 1.6BAR.
Think your nuts (in a good way)

Nice car mate, and very nicely finished too

[jevansio]

Thanks for all the positive replies guys,

Sirhc, that's probably bang on the power level I was hoping for, anything over 600 is a bonus for me as I chose the turbo for response rather than outright power,

It is very nice indeed, but does is it really using all those mods to best advantage? My friend's stock engined Supra with just a bigger turbo on makes 560hp on my dyno. It broke one of my dyno's straps last time on.

It does look a lovely car thogh, they have great curves and the engines are silky smooth

[liner33]

lovely looking car and great figures

You can get away running 500+ on a stock bottom end & head, but IMHO it's pushing the standard parts (most of which are 10+ years old) a little too far. I took the extra steps of the engine & head work as a safety measure to ensure it could cope with a bit more abuse (and it gives the engine a great note ). Most of the other components (again IMHO) are essential for a Supra running over 500.

[flattotheboards]

looks really nice, the wheels set it off a treat too.

[Mr J]

Nice to see a supra done tastefully

[deevlash]

Thats not what I was expecting! Its really nice, the wheels are cool, Ive never seen them before
