There was a ton of research involved in this car. The reason it went to the US is shops in the US are light years ahead of Australia. It was sent to someone that could be trusted to complete work above anyones expectations.

Im not sure why people are saying that anyone can hand over money and have a great car. I would say more than most modified cars here are completed by workshops. some people do work on their own and complete some great work but this is few and far between.

The Australian industy is full of shonks so why not utilise the high skills of overseas companies. I know if i was to do my project over i would have no hesitation sending it to the US. Obviously we do have some great workshops here that will help and i have been fortunate to find a couple of those but the bads ones out weigh the good ones!

For those who havent even looked through the threads corretly before having a jealous sook, look again. This car is finished. it was built over 2 full years in the US. The car is back in Australia and has been driven on the road a lot. Obviously this is not something to go grocery shopping in but lets face it most projects never are.

end rant...

Guys if you have nothing nice to say please leave it for yourself. Some of the jealous comments are a bit childish.

Boz read the damn thread lol.

You can quite clearly see the guy now knows a hell of a lot about cars and did all the descisions himself and researched a hell of a lot.

OP, there are LOTS of amazing build threads out there. you just have to search for them.

Oh no doubt. But for an import build nothing comes close to this that I have ever come across. I have read most of the build threads on SAU and while a lot of them are very amazing with my favourite being Tangomatts, the thing is that Supra build thread is just in a whole different ballpark.

For the people that are enjoying the thread, it has been updated on page 39 :D

I think every one just ment it has been completely built as new with all new parts (hell it probably smells like a new car) So "technically" it's a 2010 model Supra.

Not really sure I understand what you are trying to say there dude, pretty sure I understood your post perfectly and I simply said for you to read the damn thread since you said you hadn't read it.

oh you f**king illiterate douchebags. READ MY POST AGAIN. I did state that I had never read the original thread, I was explaining why people were commenting as they were to the noob.

Doesn't sound that way to me:

it's hella lame to give your car to a shop and just say something like that rather than to at least research what you want out of it, parts to use etc.

btw cbf reading original thread on this car

Which is a stupid thing to say when you have not read the thread, hence why I said:

"Clearly you have not read the thread, otherwise you would see that he DID research everything he wanted and all of the parts to use."

So he did research what he wanted "out of it", "parts to use etc."

i was talking about imports, since im really only interested in jap cars.

http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=374790 - this was an epic build, however it seems most pics are now gone :)

last but not least, this build. nothing i have found comes close to the amount of effort in the write up. not even a fan of the old skylines but still spent hours reading it all.

:thumbsup:

amazing build. yes money has been thrown at it but i get the feeling that some of the people in here wouldnt be happy unless he had fabricated every single washer and nut by hand.

im wondering about that exhaust manifold, it comes out at 90deg to the block. whats with that?

You would think he would just buy a brand name exhaust manifold, with all the money spent on the car.

You wouldn't be able to for the given setup.

As to the 90 degree manifold question, I had a long look at that manifold, and I'm no manifold builder but I think it was built that way as it was the only way possible to get enough clearance. It would have been a bitch of a manifold to design and build and I'd hate to think what it alone would be worth with the sequential/quick spool setup.

The exhaust is part of the sp racing big twin sequential turbo system which can make the car see 6-700nm @ as low as 3000rpm.

It's basically a mental redesigned version of the standard supra set-up! Only downside is that each car is fabricated from scratch so no kits available and that there is a significant amount of pipe work involved.

This car tested it's potential to be installed on a rhd vehicle.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
