Another one bites the dust
Re: Another one bites the dust
Thanxz for the reply. No it's not disconnected, it's the way the manifold is positioned to mount the turbo. The t78 is fairly huge so if mounted straight, it would hit my fire wall. This might be a better pic for you to see.

Re: Another one bites the dust In the video it shows the TransAm win, both times?
Your car is no 10second ride till you get that time slip.
550-600rwhp BS untill you dyno it.

Re: Another one bites the dust I'm going to some more pics of the setup today. The reason you see the turbo blocked off with duct tape is becuase I was in the process of towing my car and did not want to get anything inside it. I forgot to mention that I am running a ford 350 diesel intercooler setup. Similar to this:
http://mr2beast.com/tmic.htm
Mine will be a little different due to the sheetmetal intake manifold having the throttle body in a different location.
That turbo setup has been proven to make over 750hp which dozens of mr2 owner have already accomplished with 25 psi. The fastest mr2 with this setup has ran 9.4 at over 145 mph.

Re: Another one bites the dust "no my turbo is not disconnected..." "no it just looks disconnected because...." " the reason you see the turbo blocked off with duct tape is because...."
GeeeeeeeeeZ......who makes all the damn excuses? Your turbo is disconnected like your mind. I have NEVER lost to an import. And never means NEVER EVER, NOT EVEN ONCE. So where are all these bad imports because I have NEVER run across one on the roads of Houston. And that is the undisputed truth. No lies, no back pedaling and no duct tape.

Re: Another one bites the dust Yep, this is just a cyber car made up by 25psi's over imagination. Like someone said, it ain't a 10 sec car until you have the timeslip. Pleny of folks on this board here in Houston. I guess we will see this car when it is finished.

So its really pointless to make a big ordeal about a Supra beating a LS1 powered car... :p

Re: Another one bites the dust Db99ssccam, you are a complete moron. You can clearly see the turbo is connected, it's just the way the turbo is positioned. Can you please let me know where I made excuses. The person above asked me question why was there tape covering the turbo and I answered. IDIOT!
Have you people never heard of a project car? Yes it takes time to build. It can take from 1 month to a full year and a half. My car could have been finished by now, except I made a couple of wrong decisions.
Anyway, your right I should not make any quick estimates on hp until I have it dynoed. But I'm just going on what setups that have been proven.

Re: Another one bites the dust I think I got an excellent idea for a 10-sec MR2!!!:
__________________________________________________ ________
Jet Assisted Take-Off
1995 Darwin Awards Winner
Confirmed Bogus by Darwin
The Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came upon a pile of smoldering wreckage embedded in the
side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The metal debris resembled the site of an airplane crash,
but it turned out to be the vaporized remains of an automobile. The make of the vehicle was unidentifiable at the
scene.
The folks in the lab finally figured out what it was, and pieced together the events that led up to its demise.
It seems that a former Air Force sergeant had somehow got hold of a JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) unit. JATO units are solid fuel
rockets used to give heavy military transport airplanes an extra push for take-off from short airfields.
Dried desert lakebeds are the location of choice for breaking the world ground vehicle speed record. The sergeant took the JATO
unit into the Arizona desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, accelerated
to a high speed, and fired off the rocket.
The facts, as best as could be determined, are as follows:
The operator was driving a 1967 Chevy Impala. He ignited the JATO unit approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. This was
established by the location of a prominently scorched and melted strip of asphalt. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of between
250 and 300 mph and continued at that speed, under full power, for an additional 20-25 seconds. The soon-to-be pilot experienced
G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners.
The Chevy remained on the straight highway for approximately 2.6 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied the brakes,
completely melting them, blowing the tires, and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface. The vehicle then became airborne
for an additional 1.3 miles, impacted the cliff face at a height of 125 feet, and left a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recovered; however, small fragments of bone, teeth, and hair were extracted from the crater,
and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
Ironically a still-legible bumper sticker was found, reading
"How do you like my driving? Dial 1-800-EAT-****."

Re: Another one bites the dust Hey let me start off by saying that this is my first post on this forum and would like to address on a couple of issues.
Although I do not like this kids attitude towards performance or people in general, he does hold a valid point. I worked for a tuning company in Ontario, Canada for almost 6 months(before we shut down)where we worked on everything from supras to ls1's. Mr2's are not known for making alot of power in the states, but if you travel anywhere else in the world they are extremely modified. Case in point. Here at our local shop about 3-4 months ago, an mr2 guy showed up with 7000 grand cash and asked if he would build his car for him. Of course we didn't turn him down so we excepted his project. He did not want his bottom end rebuilt just an upgraded turbo kit and head work. So to make a long story short, a month later he picked it up drove it around for about 2000 miles and brought it back to us for some tuning. The first 3 runs were mighty impressive. Since he already had the fuel and timing maps it was not hard dial in. Anyway, the first run was 383 and 313 torque at only 13 psi of boost.(note this car is rated at 200hp at 9 psi)so with four psi of boost more it made over 150 hp. The 2nd to last dyno run we made 404 hp and 357 torque. All this was done on a t3t4 turbo upgrade with a stock bottom end.
I really don't want to drag this on but if he really does have all the parts in those photos, I will vouch that he can make well over 5-600 hp.
Please no flaming, just stating my experiences

Re: Another one bites the dust I am by know means feeding anyone. Like I said before, this is my personal experience dealing with a certain car.
Alot of people are unaware of what certain cars are capable of, so they tend to feed off of negativity.
Now Flynlo, have you ever been to Japan? I highly doubt it. I lived there for 3 years. And I could honestly say that 30-40% of Mr2's would handle there buisness on the street. If you have enough time(which I know probably will not)try looking up a stock mr2. They run very close to a stock ls1. I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of 13.3-13.5 at 104.
If you check out my profile it says I own a new cobra. I switched over after wrecking my 96 lt1. I'm sure you know a thing or two about blower and turbochargers, and how easily you can make power with minimal bolt on's. Me personally would rather do it with American Muscle, but everyone has there personal opinion.
25psi, you seem to be an ok guy. Take time out to think before you type. You are on an ls1 forum.
