I read that - Rather amusing

17 year old driver who borrowed his Boss's Supra and did a spot of gardening while he was at it

[SiX]

Poor Car, hope the kid gets nailed for it!!!

Would love to see his parents faces

[DJ984]

Yeah, but would HATE to see the boss' face... lol...

Being skylinesaustralia.com is there a rivalry between skylines and supras here?

Jus a thought and question...

[Tosh]

I wouldn't say so..... I drove a Mk4 RZ on the weekend and DAMN!!! they pick up so well and the feeling you get when the 2nd turbo comes on boost is absolutely amazing. Plus that 6th gear just tops it off.

I would own 1 in a second

I thought supras were simultaneously turbochrged not sequential?

[carlo]

Its simultaneously turbocharged, but they kick in sequentially.. If that makes sense

No issues with Skylines vs * here. Thats why ronin is still here, he is our token toyota driver.

The supra is a real sports car though, they are just so nice to drive. I prefer skylines, but if Nissan didnt make the skyline I would probably have a 350z, but if they didnt make a 350z then maybe I would go a supra.. maybe.. hehe

RONIN - Who let HIM in here?

:headspin:

[Guest RedLineGTR]

crazy stuff...i bet those little kids want to jump on it.

nah they're sequential and you can definately feel the transition

hahaha how indesicive of you carlo

[hawks]

how did this happen, i'm sure if i owned a supra i wouldn't leave the keys hanging around for a young employee to go for a spin!!!

"Hey boss, you're not gunna believe what happened. In fact, it's pretty funny..."

The Supra's are SEQUENTIAL.

it has 2 x CT12B turbo's.

Unlike the Liberty B4 which has one bigger than the other.

there is some sort of valve that allows boost to go to the second turbo as the revs go up and at say 3000rpm (eg as I don't know the exact rev point), the valve is completely and both turbo's are boosting away...

I'd love one..

[Tosh]

There are 2 wires in the ECU that are grounded that activates the 2nd turbo.

I would imagine the grounding of those 2 wires would activate some sort of butterfly in the exhaust manifold that would then allow the 2nd turbo to build boost...

I could be wrong though

But that system like the rx7 always plays up, hence y people go 1 single or twins with new manifolds.

My boss has a 1927 Bentley which he drive to work on a friday once a month. Hmm its friday and its in the carpark

Oi - ONLY toyota driver here????

ok - so i don't post much - but i'm here - lurking around

There are things acronymed to VSV's (some sort of valves) that open up actuators (like a wastegate) at certain RPM - there are two because it first opens up the exhaust section (to spin up the turbo) then the intake - so that an already boosting turbo is helping out the first one

You can still catch it out though between the turbos

As for the Skyline vs Supra vs Anything else - it's nice to poke fun at my mates with skylines, it's always meant with a mountain of salt. All in good fun.

As for Exas... well... that's just not on

PS Tosh - you're welcome, when you get your car sorted, i'd love a drive of teh MR2
