Pulled on a Supra TT @3psi... NOW WITH VIDEO ON 3rd page!
I raced at the track today. I installed the turbo kit only the day before. At 3psi, I actually pulled away from a modded Supra TT in 1st and 2nd. Once I got into 3rd gear he left me (not too quickly though!). Man I'm running 4.5 right now and it owns already. When I have my MBC I'll be running 7, then 10psi when my alcohol injection system comes in.

Rep Power: 327 Yeah massive crowds of people around the car all day. Everyone there loved the kit. People with DSMS, WRXs/Stis, Evos, and Srt4s stared at my car as I drove by them after each run. Sooo sweet haha.

Rep Power: 0 You sure it was a TT? And you sure it was modded? Because just with my BPU mods I run cosistent 12.6s with worn street tires. Also keep in mind you were only at 3psi, so that run sounded a lot more like you were up against an N/A supra with a few bolt-ons. Stock, the n/a supras run high 14's...so if it was modded like you said, it would produce the type of results you posted.

Rep Power: 327 Yes but as I said before, it was modded. I even talked to him before the race. A buncha Supras were at the track. I did get the hole shot but in the beginning I did pull. He ended up running a 13.xx somethin.
- Both cars you see is mine. I took the WW bumper off, along with the rest of the kit, until Spring.
I look to run it this Friday at 4.5psi. That's my max for now until I get my MBC. Then I'll run 7-8. Look for more times soon!

Rep Power: 327 Oh btw, can't you see part of the intercooler on the Supra? The TT had a pretty loud BOV, I have a video of it.

Rep Power: 327 awesome guess. I ran a 15.6@88.9 mph. And I let off for a brief second towards the end because I was starting to run lean and didn't want to ruin anything lol. I fixed that prob though. At 4.5psi I am running rich and strong.

Rep Power: 327 BTW that time is with aftermarket 17s and my system still in the trunk. This friday I'll be running it at least 4.5psi and with the system taken out.

Rep Power: 327 well I ordered the bigger turbo. The vendor for SF screwed up and sent the regular T3. They gave me alcohol injection as a substitute. I am waiting, however, for the pressure switch to come in. I also got the HKS BOV instead of the XS one. I got the equal lenght manifold. Then later bought NGK iridiums, and a 2.5" midsection.
