this thing could swallow someone

[ssssilvia]

was searching around last night, was bored and came across this guy on cardomain claiming to have to fastest supra in sweden, anyway
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/399182/4
and look at the size of this turbo

[element240]

damn, that's nice!
there's a guy here in town who own's a supra that has a turbo about that size, needless to say he works for the toyota dealership.

[ssssilvia]

i posted the picture, any reason anyone can think of why i cant see the bitmap image?

[WilloW]

Damn, that turbo could probably sucks in birds, and small animals.

Swedish people are goofy

I don't think these people understand how an air-water intercooler works or how to properly expoit the fact that air-water intercoolers need the bare minimum of piping, decreasing turbo lag time (which they clearly aren't concerned with considering the turbo) OR how this will block air flow to the radiator.

[mjjstang]

yah that thing probably wont kick in till 10 grand.

I was thinking the exact same. What's the point? Air to water lets you get really short super cold bursts for drag racing but drive around FL for a June afternoon and they are worthless (unless you stop to add ice)

[badboy6686]

well what about the fact that he IS in sweden, i dunno much about sweden but im sure its like below freezing year round?

[Ghettokracker71]

I thought so too? If you look on the rest of his page,all he does is drag race it anyway....so I geuss he just has to sit there at super high RPM's while staging,then add ice right before the next run? Crazy ass swedes.....damn,that 2JZ can even spool that supermonster turbo? I like 2jz's,....but that turbo is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so tell me where you would mount a monster air/water intercooler like that in the engine bay :ugh:

[matic 240sx]

maybe he is using the n2o to cool it..

It's my car and i build it with support from Supramannen Racing. And we are fully awere how a air-water intercooler works....if it works for MSP, 8,25 @ 1/4 mile, it works for me ;)

About the air to the radiator it's no problem, that is taking care of.....we know what we are doing.....;)

[Menghini]

Thats wrong....we have a nice summer 3-4 months per year....but the tracks are'nt so good as in US.

The car is build to do good times at the dragstrip...not on highways....

But with a little extra radiator the water don't get varmer than 20-25 celsius without ice....

Not only in sweden....Europes fastest

[Phlip]

ok so tell me where you would mount a monster air/water intercooler like that in the engine bay :ugh:
How about top-mounted with a vented hood, that way you have all the airflow you need without bastardizing the flow to the radiator... On top of that, you will have short enough hot and cold piping to make for GREAT throttle response...

If you find a place where you can top mount this IC without 15 inch higher hood you are good.....really good....

[crioten]

is it possible for you to post any more info on that sweet bmw 740 you have/had? man that is nice....is that AC schnitzer body work? (sp?) and i love the rear window lip spoiler

[nissantuner22]

top mount= heatsoak.

You guy's don't need to wonder about the IC mount....we know what we are doing to 100% and all who use those that are fast do the same....

[sykikchimp]

Congrats on a beautiful Supra. Is it running yet?

[Menghini]

Not yet.....gonna do a engine dyno in a week....so i get some numbers..

[nokeone]

i think i'd take the Bimmer...

[Ghettokracker71]

i think i'd take the Bimmer...
hah hah me too....:hitit:

[Menghini]

$25,000 or $ 75,000.....i think i take the Supra....i'm not dumber than so ;)

[nokeone]

yeah but you already had the Bimmer..not like you had to go out and decide to spend 25K or 75K....

are you planning on daily driving your Supra?

i personally have ZERO love for drag only cars...i think it's worthless...if you want an 8sec car great...just not for me...waste of time, money, and energy..

i'd be happily pimpin the 7series and rollin my s13 to the track on weekends...

[Phlip]

Seen it done with some cutting and welding, quite a bit of custom work, which doesn't look to be too foreign an idea with what I see here...

[Phlip]

top mount= heatsoak.
That is a shitty equation, now try it again:
Top mount + no airflow (didn't I say vented hood?) = Heat soak

I ment what the cars are worth....Bimmer = $25k and Supra = $75k....If i had to chose one of those for free i'm not dumber then i chose the most expensive one....all other choice's i think it's just stupid....

I have MULTO love for drag cars......but it's used on the streets too....

[psidriven]

people need to quit hating on the guy and his car just cause it isn't what you would want. he didn't build for you or ask for your opinion.

ahhh...i see..sorry, as i didn't know the whole equation...

and shit...there is no way in hell we could get a Bimmer like that for $25K here...lol..

glad you street the supra...would love to see/hear/etc that thing rollin around on the streets...

can you say "Getaway in Stockholm"?..;)

Thanks.....

It's a common problem that people react like this, specially on sites that are not suprasites....

[Brian]

i like your JZA80. that turbine is HUUUGEEEEEE! wow.
good luck with your dragging. i bet the women love the sound of the turbine spooling up. ;)

I have a tuned TH400 in it so GIS is not a thing for this car, even if i had a manual GIS is not for me.....Sponsors don't like it....i know almost all the people around the movie....but i don't stand behind it.

p.s. keep the great Swedish bands coming! i love them. nulla salus sine THE HIVES!

[nokeone]

i didn'tmean to knock on your car...i think it's awesome...seriously nice work...

i just hate to see drag only cars...i think of it as a waste since i enjoy all types of driving so much...not just 8 seconds at a time in a straight line...

didn't intend to be misinterpreted as an insult to the work that went into it by any means...just it's use, about which i have since been enlightened as he said he will street it...

Yepp...we have different oppinions there....but like i said....i use on the streets....+ i do some serious streetracing.

You can't tell me that a FMIC will not stay cooler then a TMIC?!! It's just not smart to stick a IC on top of the engine. Screw response, that's what properly sized turbos are for, a TMIC is just a waste of time.

I stand by what I say... You present it as if there is not enough airflow available through a vented hood and properly setup top mount for the intercooler to get enough air... No shit, it can't be cooler than the front mount, nor would a million of 17 year olds in civics be impressed by it, but I would personally see the trade off, comapred to the blockage of airflow to the radiator AND throttle response as a moot point... It can has and will work.

[old_s13]

1) the audi TT video is nice, car souinds really good

2) the supra video.. couple of problems.

it makes me wonder when people say "we know what we're doing" when you guys are working on a car with NO FUCKING VENTILLATION.

hahaha oh well, survival of the fittest as we say over here in the US! ;)

ps: i like how one guy is wearing ear protection and the other is like "fuckit, real men go deaf working on their cars" but NO ONE has an oxygen mask.. ahahaha
