At present its 274bhp and 300ftlb, had on SRR a few days ago.

[Another Fluffer]

Lots of room for improvement

Another fabulous Supra, looks great on those GS? wheels.

How hard is the conversion? Is it manual or auto?

Yeah GS wheels but they are going as is the carbon bonnet, body will be stock.

The conversion was done by Thor a few year back, uses a R154 manual gearbox.

Torque is fairly brutal - did it really need a manual?

What figures are you chasing this time Jamie?

Not much, this car is just a bit of fun, i fancied it because it was different, i will be happy with 450bhp.

Just been looking at this, might be an option.

"not much" and "450bhp" dont often sit next to each other in a sentence

The other one is going well, i just need to find time to get it on a hub dyno so we can up the boost some more, the tyres over heat to quickly on a rolling road, hope to get high boost mapped in within a couple of weeks.

Can't wait to see your progress

One of my favourite engines of all time, currently tempted to whack a supercharger on my Celsior.

Engine is easy, it just drops in on Soarer mounts (same crossmember). The work is in the manual conversion and the wiring.

Gareth, i know you know a lot about these, what do you think of going with that supercharger kit above? worth doing?

[petrolsniffer]

Atleast the dyno sheet doesn't look like a cliff

Much better idea I reckon, it'll make it feel a lot different to a turbo car. Plus the noise is amazing.
