Car: Toyota Supra RZ aerotop 6spd in Anthracite Metallic (dark bronze/grey colour)

Pics aren't current, and the engine bay shot is a work in progress quickie.

Had this car for over 4 years so plenty of time to mod it

Greddy 4-row intercooler with Greddy piping turbo side and PHR piping intake side
Virtual Works intake manifold with Mustang throttle body
Tial 50mm BOV

Fuel Mods:

Twin in tank walbro 550hp fuel pumps
SARD fuel regulator
SARD 1000cc top feed injectors
HKS top feed fuel rail

Handling mods:

Welded custom rear half cage with hidden strengthening along the door sills, up the A pillar and up the B pillar under trim
JIC front strut brace
Toyota Bilstein shocks
Toyota Eibach springs
Brembo F50 big brake kit
Modified stroke in brake master cylinder
Recaro SR3 in red suede (class this as handling because it holds me in better )

Drivetrain mods:

Jim Berry custom twin plate carbon/carbon clutch

Electronics mods:

Apexi PowerFC AP Engineering
HKS EVC6
Toyota USA injector resister pack
Front auto spoiler delete (required to install front mount)

Current setup (to be completed this week) running 27psi, waiting for dyno figure.

Future wish list to complete my ultimate dream Supra:

Racing Sparco Viper R wheels
Full stereo system
Slight re-trim with red suede highlights to match seats

Virtual Works from the US, beat the Veilside and Greddy plenums in flow tests, while creating less lag than the Veilside, and a lot more improvements than the Greddy.

Holy crap, nice work son. Glad to see you've braced and caged it up - "Aerotop" and "structural rigidity" are not words normally used in the same sentence...

Honestly the quickest thing that springs to mind when I try to put words to the way the stock targa tops flex is "Pool Noodle". It's fkn horrid.

I remember when I first got the car as an NA aerotop going to the movies with a kinda hefty friend with the roof off, got there and got out, expect to see the usual "car lift as hefty friend gets out", instead the middle of the car un-flexed. When getting the job engineered my engineer asked what I thought about caging it and I jumped at the idea, told him I'd need a cage that didn't interfere with the roof stowing in the boot, and wouldn't intrude on the cabin in front of the B pillar, and he went ahead and designed the cage for me and referred it to a metal fabricator.

First time I drove it (Obviously with the roof off ) I was amazed at the difference, so much stiffer with the roof off than the hardtop ever was, and cornered like it was on rails.

I'd never own an aerotop without a cage, people who own them try and say it's not "that bad" and that I'm exagurating it, but the difference is just huge.

You should post it up in the for sale section of supraforums.com.au. With all the new P plate restrictions there's always young guys looking for a targa top NA. If you have to go NA you might as well do it in style

Those wheels look awesome btw, not many wheels with no dish that look good, but those are definately one of them.

Tried your suggestion and it got deleted...

If it was a car I had in stock then fair enough, but given it's registered in my own name and I'm selling it privately, I thought it was a bit harsh.

That is a bit harsh. Send a pm to SupraMario, he's the owner of the boards. He should be able to fix it up.

There's a couple of trigger happy mods over ther these days.

It was SuperMario who removed it lol - that's ok, I'll crawl back in my hole...

438rwKw!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!

[MR 1JZ]

holy effing shit

thats a lot of powe

[Sicarius123]

Wouldn't really go for any more out of the stock block, kinda sucks reaching the safe limit because now when I get bored of the power I'll be up for bottom end and head to get to my next level of upgrade lol.

I was looking for between 430-450rwkw, so definately happy (although the 450 would of been the magical 600hp).

Nice one Show us the graph matey ! Thats farken impressive, what boost did it need to do it ?

[Sicarius123]

22psi. Gotta wait till I get a new bov spring before I go 27 psi

wow awesome read mate certainly post up how u go when ya get to unleash it on 27psi

[discern]

lol @ getting sick of 400+rwkw!! that's a tough as build mate, good luck on 27 pound!

[Supracharged]

love it

[Sicarius123]

Ah shit, I thought I updated this thread.

Was a misunderstanding when I got the car, they told me the power it made, and what boost they handed it over to me with, which was 22psi

It actually made the power at 27psi.

Running 27psi now, still haven't replaced the bov spring even though I should and it will give me some nice improvements

Dan.

That's because most owners are girls that can't tell the difference, or guys that like guys and just put scissor doors and 20 inch Tempe wheels on them.

I am glad you fit into neither group.

Awesome ride dude. EXTREMELY impressive.

Bring it to Adelaide We need at least one turbo JZA80 in this sea of N/A crap

I know of one red Supra to keep an eye out for in SA, SupraPolak on the Supraforums. Red beast, don't think there's much left you could do to it.

[Black Widow]

Thats one nice looking supra mate!

And congrats on the dyno run too!! 438kw is a nice bragging point

[Sicarius123]

So had if off the road the last couple of months due to rego running out and just taking the time to fix up the last little things that the old workshop ruined, as well as some maintenence.

Re-wired my TPS so the car actually idles flat at 1000rpm now (old workshop used solid core wiring and had the wire running over the accessory belt!)
Newish coil packs to replace my cracked ones which were causing spark breakdown.
New coil pack harness plugs to replace the old ones which had deteriorated to the point most didn't have one.

Currently having the clutch pulled out to be rebuilt by Jim Berry at Race Clutch.

Planning on getting a HKS DLI to boost my spark a bit
Planning on getting a HKS Racing BOV to replace the Tial that leaks at idle.

Hopefully I'll have it rego'd by the end of the month and running like it should of been.

[grub_ze70]

i just finished putting the clutch in the warlock... goes heaps better now that all 430kw are making it to the ground:)
we also have a HKS DLI to go in it to... will prob put the boost up to 30psi and go for a bit more POWER:)

This post has been edited by grub_r32: 14 August 2008 - 07:32 PM

[Sicarius123]

Wired the DLI in as well as putting in new coil packs I got from Grub, revs and idles much smoother.

Grub also just whacked a new wheel bearing in the back which we luckily caught before it was completely stuffed, in getting a wheel allignment today.

Next step is to jump back down to a 90mm Q45 throttle, whack a HKS Sequential Racing BOV on, and chuck a 264 intake and 272 exhaust cam in, then retune and see how much power we can make
