I dont think there's really much to say to describe this. But I will say you've built one hell of a car James. Nice work.

 

yah uhh where are the dyno videos sir???

 

wow, nice numbers. Wud luv to see a vid.

 

Just only 825 horsepower? I can smoke it

 

i'd like to take a ride in that to see how many G's that much power can put on a body, on a closed course, of course

 

Great numbers ...

 

f'uck

that's awesome....what a build!

 

James, are you driving it yet?

I know it's comparing apples to oranges. But what's it like driving a boosted FWD vs boosted RWD?

 

gotta be sweeter.

 

UPDATES. NOW.

 

all I can say is omfg.... that car is beautiful! I am purely jealous of everything about it. That engine bay looks immaculate and the polish is crazy. Good job.

How much did all of this cost??

 

OMG I just figured out the million dollar question!

I know what you do for a living Mr. James............... or shall I say James Bond! No wonder you are so rich, if I was a retired spy for MI6 I would probably be loaded too! So..... when should I be expected my money Mr. Bond?

 

LOL. Are you taking NmexMax's place asking for DRF's?? LOL

Not yet. I keep adding stuff.
Workin' on it...
You had a nice Max!! Shouldn't have sold it IMO.

 

IMO, fitment of these wheels are ok at best. Next set will be much wider and hella flush. I'll be adding the full Do-Luck body kit which includes rear overfenders which add 1.5" to the rear, complete new front fenders add 1" to the front IIRC.
SPE is STILL working on putting something together for me....

Thanks so much man. Appreciate the kind words.

 

I know, I know....I'm slacking. Still waiting for video from SPE.
Very soon I hope.
LOL. The only thing you smoke is.....not gonna say it.


I think the G-tech meter tells this info. I'll have to try it out and see. With my newest suspension mods, it would be great to see the lateral G's too.

Thanks man! I'm lucky to have SPE within 1 hours drive from my house. Couldn't have done it without them.

 

Not yet. Very soon hopefully.

Both cars are fun in their own ways. Max's power is very linear and predictable. Torque steer is a bitcch though. Supra is more fun, handles like it's on rails, and puts a big smile on my face everytime I give it medium throttle. When the OEM second sequential turbo would kick it, it felt awesome and could feel myself getting pulled back into the seat. Can't imagine what it's going to be like now with twice the power.

Sure, since you put it that way. LOL

Currently, some Do-Luck aluminum floor support bars have been installed under the car. Pretty rare part. They only weigh 8.33lbs for both, including hardware!! Pics to follow.

SPE also installed a Do-Luck rear cross bar inside the car to assist the HKS coilover suspension and keep it planted during cornering.

Valentine One radar detector is being installed, and being hardwired.

Thanks for chiming in dude.

It cost one arm, one leg, and a couple of ribs.

GooooooooooooooooooooldFiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinger!!

 

Heh, I wanna know what the AFR on an 800whp 2J looks like

 

Haha, but judging by your engine, it seems like chrome finger would fit more

 

If you're spending that kind of money on an installed detector...

Why not?

 

Thanks for the input.

I'm going to be getting a project car soon and I want to stay in the tuner world (I gave my max back to my dad). I am torn whether to get a 300zx TT or a max (I can't help it, I absolutely love the body style).

So what I'm going to have to do is buy a lift and get BOTH!

 

Nice build man!! Any specific reason for the HKS stroker over the titan motorsports?

I use to be very active in the supraforums community back in 04-06, while i had my mk3, that got written off and in came the maxima. Ive always liked the MK4, something about its timeless styling, everytime i see one it makes me want to go out and get one. The pure potential in power those cars can make is disgusting and the aftermarket is huge. I actually saw a MK4 pull a flyby on me last night while driving home, turned left before we could have fun. Started looking at them, but i think id perfer a 996 turbo!

Anyways good luck with her! Those things are solid with the OEM long block, built motor she will be good for along time to come! Make sure you post up some vidoes as im looking forward to seeing them.

 

jealousy is a female trait, but i think we are all b****es after looking at these pictures of the beauty of your beast.!! :O

GOOD JOB, IT LOOKS SO CLEAN!! I WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD STARE AT IT SO LONG I'D FORGET THAT IT WAS MINE!!

 

Impressive my friend, impressive

 

Wow, I didnt know about this build, pretty crazy. Question wizard. the differences between the octanes and different power output was it just changing the octane alone, or the tune was adjusted as well (such as raising timing for the higher oct)?

 

I wanna see a cost estimate

 

Me too! And I do not want to see an answer that sounds anything like: "Its too much to remember" or "Its a secret" or "Its for me to know and for you to ponder"

Grrrrrr!

I still love your car by the way, if you end up getting new rims can I have your old ones for a buddy discount of 99% off retail price

 

You can run more timing and boost on higher octane fuel without pre-detonation. It's not the octane of the fuel itself that raises the power, but the additional timing and boost!

 

Well, I know that. I was just curious if thats what they did (raise timing with higher oct), or simply put in higher oct.

 

LOL. You're right! Chrooooooooooome fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinger!!

Nice. Thanks for the link! Definitely looking into these types of systems, just needed something quick while I do my research.

I'm sure you know this....but the 300zx TT is a beotch to work on. Absolutely no room in the engine bay. Solid car, definitely would be fun to have and mod. Hope you get one.

I'm an HKS nut if you couldn't tell already. When given a choice, I go HKS. I believe HKS makes some of the most, if not the best, quality parts for the Supra. The HKS stroker for the Supra is tried and true, and has been utilized w/o issue for years and years now. The Titan kit is too new of a product for me to even consider it. Warranty wise, I feel I'll have much better luck with HKS should I ever need it. Also, which Titan kit are you referring to? Titan's 3.2 poorboy stroker, or their 3.4L??

STILL waiting on the dyno vids from SPE...

Thanks for the kudos bud.

 

Thanks again Kevlo!

When changing octane, the entire tune was revamped. Simply just changing octane wouldn't have yielded such numbers.

 

Small update:

Purchased some Do-Luck aluminum floor assist bars. Both bars including the hardware weigh 8.33lbs!! These puppies are pretty rare and were air shipped directly from Japan.

The Do-Luck rear cross bar (RXB) isn't quit as rare, but a nice addition as well.

Usually, one has to choose between the Sparco harness bar or the Do-Luck RXB, but SPE thought outside the box and made them work together. I'm stoked on this, because I believe I'm the first to have this mod in the Supra community. Big thanks to SPE!!



Do-Luck RXB




Do-Luck aluminum floor assist bars on top....

 

Sparco harness bar and Do-Luck harness bar installed.... Now I need some new seats so I can utilize the harness bar.

 

Aluminum floor bars installed.



And for you exhaust nuts.....

 

Pretty sweet ... That harness bar is nice in that it goes across the floor.

 

holy crap, thats about as straight of an exhaust you can get

 

Look at that cute little exhaust.

 

Wow. I wouldn't even put a hood on that thing, I'd just drive around like that to instill fear to all that lay eyes upon it...

 

Not with all that chrome/polishing. It'd get dirty ... If it were a serious show car, then you get a custom clear hood made

 

I know I shouldn't have sold it....but its gone and there are alot of reason's I had to let go at the time (one word: timemoneygirlfriendleftrepairsproblemsdailyupkeep)

Nice job with the supra, some day I will be out there on the west coast

 

god that exhaust is hott, this car is going to be pure insanity when its done!
