Colorado

[jkbmkiii]

Any colorado supra members out there?

[oMar]

i'm about 45 min away from the southeastern part of CO. maybe 3 - 5 hours to pueblo.. how far are you from pueblo?

[jkbmkiii]

I live about a hour north of pueblo and 20 min outside of denver! I was living in pueblo last summer and I love it but I had to come back up north for work!

[jkbmkiii]

must not be alot of colorado mkiii owners

[Jonnymkiii]

Add one to the list, I'm just east of Boulder.

[suprahoops]

im in evergreen

[jkbmkiii]

Thats what Iam talking about! The dsm club is huge in colorado, glad I have some mkiii owners out there to talk to!

[jkbmkiii]

jonnymkiii your car prob has the most power,have you seen the dyno yet! What about the drag strip?

[PRpimp3o3]

well im from aurora and i tink i have the highest hp behind jonny

[PRpimp3o3]

hey i think we should get a meet together after the winter somewhere thats a middle point for everyone.

[suprahoops]

i second the notion.

[jkbmkiii]

Sounds like a good plan for the Late spring!

[Jonnymkiii]

jonnymkiii your car prob has the most power,have you seen the dyno yet! What about the drag strip?


JKB, I was at the dyno in October, and pulled 360 rwhp @ 14 or 15 pounds of boost. I need to get a new BOV because I think the Bosch one I have is leaking, which is why I can't boost more than 14 or 15 pounds. We estimated that if I could have boosted up towards 18 or 20, we could have gotten about 420 or so out of her... I'll be happy with anything over 400 really. I have upper hard pipes now, I just need to get the BOV, which I plan to do after the end of this year and then I'll go back to the dyno.

I'd certainly be interested in meeting up sometime.

[jkbmkiii]

Jonny, a full hard pipe kit works great! My bottom ic pipe is a bitch to get in and out but it is worth it! If I had your turbo and a couple of fuel things WOW! Tec turbo built me a 54 trimm but I chipped a couple of compr fins so I just put a stock,used , oil leaking turbo on the supra untill they could look at it but the owner passed away so there is no more tec turbo! It sucks ! I just started looking for a diffrent way to go " The search begins"

[Gilsdorf]

Hey Jonny where in Boulder are you, I'm in Louisville and work in Boulder.
I've got an extensively modded '89t, with no real dyno numbers (melted a strap on 1st power pull) but was estimated around 470@4500rpm (wheels broke loose, strap melted, shit my pants). I just broke a coolent line to the turbo and have to pull it out and replace it, Suprasport sent me another several weeks ago but I was waiting for the AEM EMS to show-up before I installed it (I waited too long) and it cracked while doing a hard run up the Louisville Hill on 36, limped home and as soon as I tried to tighten it it broke off. Will be up and running soon though, and then I would be down for a CO meet.

[Jonnymkiii]

JKB, One of these days I'll get the bottom end hard pipes as well... it's hard to juggle a house, cars and women at the same time :) I got the upper pipes last spring and they came in damaged... they've been jerking me around ever since and have yet to replace them for me. Long story... best told over a beer.

Matt, I actually live in Erie, just east of 287. I work at IBM off the Diagonal though. Very impressive mods by the way... I bet your car will screem when shes back on the road. I'm excited to finally find some fellow Supra owners in the Denver area. We will all definately have to meet up sometime in 06.

[tlo86]

just came to CO, in northglenn (Denver) first time driving in snow since i moved from texas (oops!) and i am fixing the suspension as we speak looking for torque specs on tsrm :), i will be finished the day wheels and radiator come in

[null_q]

i live in denver, going to school at CU Denver. I've been seeing quite a few MKIIIs driving around lately, in fact I saw a nice red later model MKIII today on sante fe.

[tlo86]

you'll see mine driving around in a few weeks when i start going to cu denver, i'll be sportin' the supramania sticker :):)

[Feuerstoss]

'Eyas. Thought I'd chime in here, even though I'm not a MK3 owner(at least yet...). I've been a huge fan of the MA70/MA71 since I was a little kid, and it's always been one of my goals to get one. At the moment, I'm kinda considering selling my project car for one, but time will tell... heh. As far as high-power MK3s in Colorado, I have heard of a few... supposedly one of my coworkers knows a guy with a '91T automatic in the Springs that is just plain scary, but I'll save my judgement for laterish. As far as what I'm kinda-running right now? '88 Celica ST165, although it's down for repairs at the moment. :3d_frown:

[tlo86]

is everyone still down for a meet in late spring? :)

[suprahoops]

im down, but all you guys are gonna laugh at me cause my cars got no mods and looks like hell. but only because im between jobs right now.

[jkbmkiii]

my car killed the turbo yesterday, 60 trimm on the way with a new intercooler, so my supra might be sitting for a while ! We will have to all go out and kill some club dsm guys!

Last night I was driving my cousins 1996 mittsubishi eclipse gsx with a 2.3 stroker/20g/ 20 psi.... that damm car is scary fast, I was lighting up all four for two gears! So the supra needs to play catch up!

[Gilsdorf]

I'm in, the car is at the AEM EMS tuner right now, I should have her back by Tues. Then we are off to do some dynoing on Sat. Let me know when and where and I'll be there.

Matt

[tlo86]

im not one to coordinate events heh, my car will be good to drive in 4 days (bad bearing in the hub i bought :(, 80$ for new bearing then i can get an alignment )

[turbo4toy]

Colorado here as well.....until my headgasket blew I was out more but now in the rebuild process and almost done.

[jkbmkiii]

my car might be down for longer than I thought ...... Ordering the maft pro on monday!!!! So now that is on the to do list with the IC and 60-1!!!

[Jonnymkiii]

I haven't been to a meet in probably over 10 year! Yeowsers!

I don't think any one person is going to step up and plan this, so I think we should discuss it here by committee.

We should decide if we want to meet for dyno pulls, or to meet, get some food and go for a drive in the mountains... I'd probably opt for the latter. I really don't want to meet without a plan, because that normally goes no where and turns into a circle jerk:squirt-mo haha, funny monkey

Anyhoo, if we figure out what we want to do, then we can work on an actual plan. I'd also say sometime in April would be good for a 1st meet.

[jkbmkiii]

New turbo came in, so I hope I will have everything ready for when we all hook up! Give it a look http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15319

[Feuerstoss]

Hmm... mind if I tagged along? Don't have a MK3 yet, but I'm itching to get my hands on one sometime... I'd have to bring my CA5 Accord, which even an NA would blow the doors off of, but I'll be around except for the first week of April; vacation time.

[Jonnymkiii]

JKB, That turbo looks sharp! Keep us posted on your progress.

Feuer, All are welcome!


On another note, I've been slooooowly upgrading my car and until recently, I only had the Bosch BOV, which would leak around 15psi or so. I finally got an HKS BOV to go with my upper hard pipes, but the coupler that connected to the snorkel pipe coming out of the fender was too big, so it couldn't seal and would leak around 12 psi - worse than before. It really needs a reducer... by the way, Supra Sport is about the worst on-line company I have ever dealt with. Anyhoo, I was able to fix that problem and last night I felt 18psi for the first time... a bit scarey actually. Punching it going down 25 it felt like the rear end was going to slip out from under me. Boost is sooo addicting!

[jkbmkiii]

I'm here, and actually i live about 2 miles from you. I've seen your car before, and i ALMOST stopped by your house after you pulled into your garage, but i thought that might be a little weird if you were not involved in an internet forum.

I've got a 1JZ SP58GT running a 2JZ AEM EMS. The car is down at CarzCustom right now in denver. If you have ANYTHING you need, dyno/work/ideas talk to these guys.

that's just what I needed to hear...i've been in need of a good place to dyno my car without driving for days on end.

[rot 90na-t]

im in westminster..

[Gilsdorf]

Big T,

No worries on stopping by, I'm a car guy to the core and love standing around talking about cars. In fact most of my parties end up in the garage, (my wife's parties end up in the kitchen).

Engine is currently out and pulled apart, several of the pistons look questionable, so I'm considering 6 new JE's at .040 over. This would require more machining on the block and of course more money. I'd send them off to Swain tech to have their Gold coat and dry film treatment (did it on the first set of Ross pistons).

Wife is very pregnant now and I'm looking at buying a stationwagon, well not just any wagon but the Volvo V70R. Can't do a car that doesn't have atleast a little potential, problem with the Volvo is that any mods pretty much void the factory warranty, (not a good selling point to the wife).

[IIIfortheHills]

Hey guys, I'm in Evergreen. Currently doing a BHG repair on my '87 turbo. I need to find a machine shop for head work. Any suggestions in the Denver area? I'm going to use an OEM gasket but want a place I can trust to do good (excellent) work.

...well there goes the last thing keeping me from picking up an EMS, next to money. There really IS a place within a days travel where I can have it tuned!

[D Walker]

anytime you want to come down, lemme know. We offer extremely good rates on the mk3 EMS, so give us a call. The number is 720-214-5095. My name is Don. Also my setup is very similar to yours :)

[BigTSetter]

Don and CARZ are the ones that have done some great work for me and Don has done a great job tuning my 1JZ with 2JZ AEM EMS. I've got some new toys coming soon... and i need to get back to the shop for some more work. I've just been REALLY busy lately.

They know my car and my name. Go check them out. It's worth the trip.

[Feuerstoss]

Hm.... I may be interested in a meet as well. I may be keeping my GT-Four(does it count that I've got an MA70 turbo sitting in it?), but if I ever get a few extra bucks and some space, I want a MK3 to play with, too. :evil2:

[kingsupra]

so are they still any colorado supra owners around that still want to meet up somewhere?

[CJE]

i would like to but i threw a rod friday......:3d_frown:

Nice... heh. Doesn't seem to be many MK3 enthusiasts in the Springs, wierdly enough, even though I see 'em around from time to time. I did run into one guy last week who was in the midst of building what he hopes to be a 500whp setup on a 7M... I forget what exact turbo he was going to use, but he definately has one big enough for the job. :icon_evil:

hey does anyone know of a good machine shop in the Aurora/Denver area? I have my engine torn down to the block and all i need is to find a machine shop to mill the head and turn the crank. All help is appreciated thanks

Look for block shop or maybe its blocks are us.... starts wuth the word Block I know that I will see if I can find a recipt, Heads by paul is another good one to.

[IIIfortheHills]

PRpimp: I used Heads by Paul on my recient BHG repair and was very happy with their work. They're in Englewood.

Also for you Colorado guys I'm going to put in a plug for Champion Toyota/Jeff Watson out of Texas. They're unbeatable for oem toyota parts, beats the hell out of local dealership prices.

[D Walker]

I use the Block shop, Madcap Racing, and Blue Oval Performance in Englewood

[89turboguy]

well since we are talking repair, i have to put this out there. NEVER, and i mean never go to All Japanese Engines and transmissions in thornton for any work you want done. i got my engine done there, price was good, but the work was shit, it took them 3 months to put a new engine and turbo in my soup and one month after i got it back, i had to take it back for oil leaks, exhaust leaks, and vaccum leaks. bad deal, so just a heads up.

[PRpimp3o3]

ya i really need to get my mkIII running again due to the fact my mkII jus sunk a lifter.:cry: Maybe its a sign from above to my baby running again lol :biglaugh:
