By definition a strut does not have an upper control arm, which is why a MA70 Supra should not be referred to as having a strut though. And ultimately why we don't need strut bars
Depends on your mods and how everything is setup.
Basically your stock ct26 will run out of breath at that range coupled with the fact that the stock ecu is probably giving you an AFR of 10:1 or lower in that range if your running 550/AFM upgrade.
This is the main reason I went stand alone/t4...
That's where it gets confusing. Generally if you google it, almost everywhere I look it's referred to as a strut system. However, it isn't set up like a typical "strut" Honda or Corolla, so I refer to our "strut" towers as shock towers. (Or housing)
Regardless, after everything I have read, I...
Yeah, I've driven a 73 Vette with a big block a long time ago. Was a hoot but very uncomfortable. Good for straight line speed, just found it stiff like it was wheels on steel rods. I don't think I could keep the wheels from spinning if this bigger turbo kicked like the ct26 did. I don't ever...
Lol at pic
Yeah the 57 trim hit quick and fast. It was the 60-1 that made me go t4. A ct26 is a limited air pump, once you reach max flow your done. I needed a bigger pump.
The standalone is simply to keep the engine safe and smooth. Stock ecu is an excellently engineered device but limited...
lol.. I read the first post and thought... "I HEAR YA BUD!!!" lol
Same route for me... 57 Trim/550's/new engine... and bang! Wild ride... then... ummm... okay... its cool... but....
Now Im into a SP6265 T4 install with 1000 cc injectors and a HKS standalone system. Going to see if that floats...
Very impressive. Question though... have you had your hood on that car at all? Looks like the turbo would cook it.. :)
That's gotta be a kick to drive.
Great answer! It's what I thought but wasn't sure about.
The targa flex explains why I see rub marks on some Supras near the striker plate.
I have BIC targa bars now, so hopefully that helps. Retorqued the subframe a while back. If your wheels are not perfectly straight and balanced, it's...
To me, a strut is a cartridge. And typically they are in lightweight FWD vehicles, although the definition is loose enough to include a lot of different suspension systems.
MK3's are pretty beefy so I don't think "strut bars" do much if anything for the car other than there are some nice ones...
Confuses me a little, because I don't consider our suspension a Strut suspension. I believe the MK1 Supra had struts, but I don't think its accurate to say that about the MK2/3/4 suspension.
For some reason, saying that a Supra has struts just seems odd. Most retailers will call our shocks...
Like I said.. its a pet peeve.. lol. I wont even describe the 3" elbow I got from them.. lol. Aaron admitted it was probably the worst one he had seen. Its currently a paper weight on my desk... :D
My HKS 3" catback doesn't hit the subframe and sports the twin tip muffler (its illegal where I live to "upgrade" your exhaust for increased noise... not that they police it heavily). I was using the Raptor DDP (loved it), but since I went T4.. its sitting in the garage. Thinking of selling, but...
7MGTE into a MK2... my most favorite swap. Just make sure you deal with the hidden rust areas first. (if they exist)
I would rather have an MK2 over the MK3 except for the fact MK2's don't have the targa option and I have grown fond of it. :P
I may end up staying at 18 psi max unless I upgrade my fuel system. I don't want to max out the pump capabilities (Denso MKIV fuel pump). I think its 280 lph and not sure if that's enough to sustain 20 psi on the 1000 cc injectors. Still diving into the research end, but I may have to upgrade my...
You go lower and your quarter lip will start hitting the wheel on bumps. As you sit right now I'm fairly certain you would at high speed with dips. You'd have to roll your quarters... In my opinion.
