meh iunno about manipulation. they did several runs and the highest gain was +5hp. there were +1-5 hp gains on all them but still thats not a big enough gain for me to use it as a performance mod. i would do it more for better grounds to replace my old ones, maintaince over power!

its still a fairly new turbo on the market. i do know of one instance here in the dfw area where one blew (ryan) but im not sure what the circumstances, pressure, model etc were. the sp61 has just been around longer and most of them have miles on them where the boss series is alot newer.

aww how nice man! you got me an early bday present! j/k nice shaft man! lmk how the butt dyno feels on this. im against al flywheels for dds but al driveshafts are a different story!

Just get a grounding kit and replace all your old, corroded grounds across the engine. You may or may not see a difference but at least your electrical system will finially be grounded correctly. Make sure you clean off the contact points also where you an connect also. a nice big brand new...

Guys I'm thinking it has to do with some sort of oiling issue. I'm going to sink some money into this I think and have a Garrett CHRA installed this time around thats oil and water cooled. I'll update this thread after I hear back for sure what killed this turbo. Agreed SP cust service sucks!

only problem is its not a master power turbo. if you read the fine print of the auction it will be an XSpower turbo of that style. Combine that with a 1.05 a/r and iunno. man they are really getting shady with bait and switch!

what happened to him? i must have missed that memo?

check out my vbgallery. there are a few varieties of blue but baltic blue pearl was only offered in 91 and 92. it takes on alot of different hues depending on lighting. sometimes its got greenish tint, purple, black. next to jade mica my fav color :) here for you lazy people...

group shots. pm me your e-mail and i can submit 1 or 2 if i can dig them out of my camera or my bros. i see you have alot of submissions already but keep me posted.

sounds good to me. would it be cool if i got some pics of my car with my brothers for submission? 91 baltic blue turbo (supra 1) 88 ice blue pearl turbo (supra 2) yes those are our real plates :)

i think you mean drop the oil pan, remove the pistons crank rods and put new ones in while the motor is still in the car? possible, i guess so. fun, hell no. accurate, nope. usually people have the block at least cleaned and gone over to look for cracks, imperfections, crosshatching in the...

truerer words have never been spoken..... just dont push things too fast. its like romancing a fine woman, ya can't go for the goods or high boost right off the bat, ya need to work up to it.

91 baltic blue sunroof turbo. i think baltic blue is the second most rare color (minus the jade mica color that wasnt available here) hardtop being the most rare followed by factory metal sunroofs and then the targa being the most common turbo roof choice. we had a thread about this once or...

with a proper tune i think its acceptable to think the stocker will be ok. remember its not really pressure that blows hgs its the improper torque specs from toyota and then aslo detonation. however why push it? mhgs arent that expensive and with the proper hardware its bulletproof out to the...

no praw just remember that the rest of us have bad days too. Ive driven my car 3 of the last 9 month due to turbo issues. 5 turbos, blown..... plus remember we dont always have the brightest bulb in the box post here so patience is a plus. a stock ct26 at 14-16 psi is ok. Honestly if those...

meh been better. blew my turbo last week so im trying to think whats up from there. sucks. my rims got pushed back i think :(

hum. still going to be about stock numbers over all. the free flowing exhaust is a plus and after you get it tuned will help more. the reason i thought it was an NA-T was mainly because of the tranny and then the mismatch your car is. Relax some. edit: also the blocks casting pretty much...

i use my psp and just cruise around from time to time. always interesting who all leaves their connections wide open, plus its good if you have a supra issue!

hes talking about putting a resistor at either the boost pressure sensor (the box over on the fender) or on the AFM harness. My buddy has an MR2 and its a great little car. However, its doesnt work on the supra. Also since you are planning a rebuild (per your other thread) an FCD or any other...

first off the usual bump rate is once a day, not 45 minutes. youll probibly hit about stock numbers. maybe a touch more. 2 important things you didnt say were, if you were going with higher compression pistons (as you have the w58 tranny im assuming this is an NA-T)turbo pistons or stock NA...
