modded Supra tt

Hey guys, kill section seems a little stale lately so I thought I'd throw in this story from last summer. I was too lazy to post it then.

I was driving into the downtown core, when my wingman (passenger) told me he spotted a red supra headed the other way. Pickings were slim that night so I was pretty much u-turned after the Supra before his sentence was even finished.
We followed him onto a nice 3-laner which, after some quick spool manuvering, landed him at the pole position with me behind him. He had aftermarket rims & exhaust, beyond that I had no clue. The extra treat that I noticed was a couple of kids BESIDE the Supra in a spankin new 540i, and they were itching to race as well. Mmmm good.
So, on green, the Supra and 540i slowly take off to about 40mph, then hit it. I was still behing the Supra, and put the hammer down about a second or two after they did. Naturally, another lane opens up beside the Supra and I was more than happy to take it, as I was steadily approaching Supra bumper. The Supra had about 2 cars on the beamer as I walked by him, and we shut down at about 100mph, due to a tight corner. After it opened up again, we all hit it -side by side- at about 80mph, where the Supra put a good 5+ lenghts on the beemer and I had approx 2.5 on the supra, with him not gaining, and me not pulling till about 140mph. I shut it down first, because after we came over a hill, there was a van about a 1/2 mile ahead in my lane. What my wingman noticed, *god bless his soul*, is that in FRONT of that van was a cop van, so after he yelled at me I shut it down in a big f_cking hurry. The Supra, poor bastard, thought (maybe) he was gaining, so he sped right on by to to proclaim victory**(see note below)**. It wasn't until he was about 4 lenghts back of the cop did he brake, doing the 130mph plus speeds we were hitting. As you can surmise, he was cold BUSTED, and was pulled over as I , in the innocent lowered Jimmy, putted along behing the first van. The 540i made its way beside me on the next set of lights 5 min after the bust, and those guys were pretty amazed that the little black suv not only put bus-lenghts on them, but worked a (gorgeous) red Supra tt as well.
I would have liked to see what else was done to the tt, but I figured he was a little busy at the moment, so oh well.

**Note**: I did try my best to warn him, I flicked my lights on and off and my wingman waved his arms, but to no avail. I don't wish that junk on anybody I race, and hope the feelings mutual. We gotta look out for eachother.

Not trying to be an ass but I gotta call BS on this one. Unless you are heavily modified no Sy/Ty is taking a modified (how did you know did you talk to him?) TT supra on the big end 80mph to 140mph with him not pulling!!!! Wont happen......Unless you have alot of mods. Sy/Ty have a hard time taking lt1 from a high roll not to mention a TT supra on their playing field. I would really like to know your mods. thanks

Well I'm not sure what nathan has done to his ty at this point, but I had a similar experience with a newer TT supra.

Went from a 30 mph roll twice, instant 2 lenghts the first and a dead start the second. Pulled on him hard to 140 mph when I shut it down.

Of course mine isn't quite stock :grin:

I was later told that the supra I raced had some sort of upgraded intercooler, not sure about that though.

Was a pretty cool race, dude was shocked, but still gave me a thumbs up after. Said he was gonna be back on his R1 the next week but we never hooked up.

Well, for 1, no offence taken. I call a exhaust a mod, and calling the story "1 mod Supra tt" not only sounded gay, but is probably more inaccurate than the original story title.
2, true, I'm not stock. Not Tony's kind of "not stock" (can I have a ride, that truck must be INSANE!!), but modded none the less. Lets see: pte-51, dequick dual air, atr downpipe, wastegate (junk, gets wonky at high boost. BG is right again...) no cat, k&n, afpr, and trw's on the internal side.
Hey, I was pretty suprised myself, and I doubt the guy was even at a full bpu. Still, I'm pleased I worked him to that kind of mph. BTW don't even mention lt1's or ls1's up here. Fastest trap I've ever seen for a ls1 SS was about 98-99mph. Altitude kills 'em.
S/c ls1's are running high 12's at 110-113. Not that impressive.....

First off,

Hey Nathan where ya been? We figured that mighta been your ty that we heard was smashed up last year. There is another guy on the UBB now from calgary, you might look each other up.


Second

With a pt51 dequick dual and forged internals technicaly you have more mods than me.

My build is pretty tame to be honest, just trw's, eagle, vortecs, te63e. Those are the big pieces. But I'm running a stock, yes I said stock I/C, the only mod is heater hoses, still the stock pump no less. Stock manifolds, stock tranny.

This year will be a bit different. Building a killer fuel system that will suplly it as far as it will ever go. Sticking with the stock I/c and manifolds but building the tranny and possibly a t72 turbo.


You really gotta get that Ty up here this summer so we can compare notes and exchange rides.


Then of course there is Nolans Ty, that thing will be insane :grin: :grin: :grin:

I remember going to Ed. that one week, but I didn't have a chance to hook up with you.
Well, the good news is that my Ty hasn't been wrecked, and that I plan to do a couple, if not more, Edmonton excursions, so I hope we can get together, for sure.
Your set-up is more potent than mine, nice internal work, that's a freakin crazy mph on your posted run!!!!!!!
What are you doing chip wise??? Boost levels?? Injectors???
That's where I'm having no luck.
I know Nolan (and yourself??) burns chips, but I haven't had the chance to get up there and hang with you guys.
I'm also going to do the alky thing, so probably mid-summer I'll be tuning that in.
Another dude from Cal on the UBB??? What's his (assumption) name??
Where did he get his Sy/Ty??

Hey Nathan, sorry I missed you last year, my e-mail was messed at the time.

There really is nothing that special about my buildup, just a little cam and some main caps. :grin:

As far as the mph in my sig there is a bit of a story behind that. We never got a chance to tune for high boost so it was fluctuating between 20 and 24 all the way down the track.

Also, that was the the t/c unlocked, the clutch was slipping and causing false knock so we couldn't use it to improve mph.

It does pull like a hard on the top though. :razz:

As far as chips go, that all Nolans credit, I just pull wrenches, he is the brains behind it all.

I was running 42.5 lb/hr injectors last year at around 20 psi at the track. Gonna step that up this year to 72's most likley, not sure yet though.

I sent Alex an icq to post to this thread. You guys should chat.

Man, you are too funny. I guess if it was just a little cam and some caps --no big deal-- then you wouldn't mind doin it to my truck then, hey?? :>D
No worries about the e-mail either, as it turned out the Rum Jungle kept me busy for most of the night and morning ;>)
