So i have been running stupid rich lately under boost so i decided to play alittle and ease up on the boost until i got into about mid 11 AFR's

I just trying to see what people think and if my car is running like it's suppose to

Power Estimate = 360+whp ???
Boost = Spiking at 19psi and dropping to 15psi possibly lower if i stay in it.
AFR's = 11.6 dropping to 11.1 in 3rd, In 2nd i see 10.8


My mods

CT26 60-1 With Decent Exhaust clipping
3inch turbo back
Driftmotion Intercooler Kit 2.5inch pipe HKS ssqv3
Apexi Power intake
Lexus AFM
Walbro 255 has 100miles on it
560cc evo 8 injectors
Brand NEW STOCK CLUTCH and PP (Doesn't seem to be slipping or burning)
Tires = 225/40/R18's Very cheap and Very very used
AEM Uego
Turbo Smart Boost gauge
NXS MBC (Ebay)

I was just thinking it would pull harder then it does My tires keep traction unless i shift hard except for first gear. I can start in 2nd in the power range and hold traction. I've seen some supra's that are around my said power range just destroy tires.

Also at the power level i should be around my clutch should be toast right??



So on to the video sorry about quality.


First video is 2/3 and a little of 4th

Those AFR sound about right for turbo except the 10's, but something just doesn't seem right, have you dynoed the car?

Car has never been on a dyno

I have raced a couple 1J's on rolls that were stocks twins with full exhaust/Intake/Intercooler BPU basically and pull away from them.

A friend on mine has a 04 SVT Cobra with full exhaust and Intake and on 17psi I fell to his door from 35mph to 50mph and by the time we got to 85-90mph i was a nose ahead

The car seems to be running the way it should be. Those afr's are rich. Maybe get it to the dyno to tune some timing. From my experience with the 2 supras ive owned the best upgrade I have done yet was building a Megasquirt. Others will tell you that also, I have heard people stating that there cars are faster on 5 psi with the MS then on 15 psi from stock electronics. The electronics on our cars were ahead of their time at the production date. But it is absolutely amazing what you can do with a full standalone. Moral of this is that if you want the true power potential of your car get rid of those outdated electronics and build a MS, they really arent that hard to do. Best of luck to you

Ya it seems to be fine. If I was you and you are saying that money is tight really look into doing a megasquirt. I ordered my MS1, 8ft wiring harness, 2x BIP mod kits to drive the 2 other coils for around $300 shipped. Just takes some time to solder everything up. If electronics and soldering isnt your thing you can have DIYautotune build one for you ready to go for half of what you would be paying for the aem.

Tuning cable http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/usb-to-serial-adapter-works-with-megatune-p-67.html

Dual VR board that some people use. I highly urge you not to use it. People are reporting alot of problems with them. This board allows you to use the stock CPS configuration with the 3 sensors. I just dont use the board and cut 2 teeth of the CPS wheel 180* apart and tell the MS that it is a 12-1 wheel

There ya go everything listed minus the stupid zeal board is like $335 just throw a few hours of time in there and your golden. Btw you might want to read this

Stop driving it for a month and see how it feels after a month or so :)
This. I drive a 320rwhp car daily, and it feels slow as shit to me, until I drive the girlfriend's Mazda3... you get used to it Jordan. Ever heard of the horsepower bug? Sounds like it's bitten you. ;)

You clutch is not toast because you're not running 360+rwhp. Why not take you car and get it dynoed? If the dragstrip wasn't a humbling experience getting your car dynoed will be. On your best run at the drastrip you ran 98mph. Given the weight of your car with you in it and 98mph trap speed you'll be lucky to see 290rwhp. It's just physics. Prove me wrong... dyno your car.

I thought I was going to be running 110+mph traps last Friday when I ran it, but I was wrong. I thought my car was faster than what it really was. Dragstrip humbled me.
