    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Can you guys help me size wheels for my supra? I don't want to roll fenders if possible and I think I want to stick with 18's all around (unless you can convince me to go 17's). I'm looking to get Cosmis Racing XT 206-Rs. https://www.cosmisusa.com/product/xt-206r-2/ Sizes available: 17×8...

    Sharing lessons learned from upgrading the A340E

    I have a strip. It's a little hard on the shift, but I personally like that. I especially like how it kicks down (its like downshifting a stick), and I like how it upshifts...often slightly chirping the tires under moderate throttle. If you adjust shift points with a piggyback, it can be...

    Sharing lessons learned from upgrading the A340E

    Thanks for clarifying. I'm a little tired today. Do you know a lot of people who have run high horsepower (4-600whp) in overdrive at full boost through a a340e? Everyone I've spoken to says not to. Fortunately, if you lock the torque converter up fully, I bet you can hit 130mph or faster in...

    Sharing lessons learned from upgrading the A340E

    To my knowledge, it has not been done before (auto 6-speed swap). However, my builder is on the national transmission R&D board of directors, and he is confident that it will fit and work for my purposes when the time comes.

    Sharing lessons learned from upgrading the A340E

    Hi all. I've been through a lot of struggles getting my a340e to hold 420whp in my 89 Supra. I wanted to share what I've learned through trial and error, research, and experience. I wish I had known some of this from the beginning...even having done extensive research ahead of time...

    Basic upgrade list

    I totally agree with Grandavi. I went the vpc/afc with the JT62 bolt-on turbo, got to 402whp/408 tq and ended up burning some rings within a month... After that I chose to do things right and went for a full rebuilt, forged motor, and standalone. Still not enough in the budget for a t4 yet...

    Basic upgrade list

    Are you sure you only want 375-400? We've all said that before....haha. Agree with above, all basic maintenance first, even hoses, plugs, wires, and check the condition of your wiring harness before you start adding the piggybacks. I was grounded out for about 3 weeks before I found the...

    runs froms autocross today

    That's the biggest thing I have to remember for autox. Smooth = fast. Even though hammering the throttle through decending turns, and drifting my MR2 around corners is fun...it's not really fast...even though it feels fast. You are your fastest when you actually feel like you're going kind of...

    Looks good. That's a lot of power to handle on an autox. You could probably leave boost even at stock ~12/14psi. Nice job.

    Guess my dyno numbers

    Still having ignition issues on the top end? I'm hoping for comparable with a 6266 next year for my build...maybe with a little bit better spool. Keep us posted.
