Re: Surpra?

Re: Surpra?

You didn't even hit the rev limiter... btw what exhaust have you got? is it a JDM 2JZ-GE (ie with a MAP sensor)? I'm having real trouble finding a correct wiring diagram. I didnt hit the limiter cos ive set it to 7200 and its a timing retard/ soft limit rather than a harsh cut like the OEM ECU. the ...

Food for thought, It can be caused but a body lifted truck having the gearstick boot put pressure on the gearstick so when your going from power to overun the boot pops it out of gear..

Yea, i guess 650 is ok. i sold one a while back for 300 on trademe

my 5cents worth, the R15* series gearboxes are based on the R154 twin turbo supra gearbox, which is capable of handling over 500hp in a drag car. so givin that the Toyota V8 only emits about 260hp and has not a great deal of torque. im sure a R15* will be fine her are the ratios from the R15* family ...

cheers for the offer anyways dude, i got the rear half of the kit from a guy who has an LN61 and got the whole kit from a imported and just used the front half. as he has leaf springs on the rear.
