97-SC300 Single Turbo Build Thread
#346
Tuan? I have the R888s on my 6-speed car as well. Tune by with boost by gear and traction control by Larry at SP on all 5 boost settings in the PRO EFI. Each one more aggressive from 1-5 settings. In the warm weather here in southern IN from about late May-Late Oct I can run setting 5 no issues. It makes low 900whp on a 6766 fully built motor, etc. Our cars are pretty close except I am running 10/1 compression and have the PHR intake manifold. I have a really good alignment from a race shop called Track One in Nashville. That along with the traction control and boost by gear makes it hook wonderfully with no drama. I had the 315/30/18s and upgraded this year to 305/35/18s. Those are the size I recommend as they are 1 inch taller than the 315s and that allows you to hold each gear longer and also provides a more front to back contact patch vs the 315s.

I just read the entire thread and all I can say is..............................................AMAZING, ...............................just AMAZING.
I have read some threads on here, but none to the extent, time, dedication, service to the SC community, unlike this build. I applaud you man. Just plain amazing. The attention to detail was overwhelming, down to every nut and bolt. You must be single, because my wife nearly divorced me after my small build, compared to yours. lol
Although I have sold my SC to another MKIV Supra lover, I have to give credit when credit is do.
I actually spoke to the new owner of my old SC a few weeks ago. He stated that the tuner blew up the BW S366 on the dyno, and he has replaced with something better, thinking Precision ball bearing. He is having some issues with the wiring, due to the erratic idle, and will be ripping the old wiring out and purchasing a new Tweek wiring harness.

how the hell can someone blow a Borg Warner S366 ? ... only thing I can think of is oil feed / return problem or a foreign object destroyed the wheels.
you know .. you would have been welcomed to my place up north if your wife divorced you because of your build , lmaol ...
I am almost there with you if I don't stop accumulating more SCs. Nah... my wife can't do that to me . She will be sorry .. hahahaha.
Glad to see you around again buddy !

I've been thinking lately how I need to move south so I can enjoy my cars year round. Right now I got two cars I cannot (or don't want to) drive in the winter season up here. Not practical, probably not safe, and would get them exposed to road salt.
Texas (or that area) sound good right about now!

Have followed the countless pages of this build for a while now and all I can say is pure EXCELLENCE!!! Btw also saw the dyno results over from SP. Only greatness has touched this car. Keep up the great work.

OEM IS300 fans (which I use in two of my cars) are the only ones I will use for electrical fans aside from the OEM clutch fan.
Wire them this way though instead of AEM inputs .. use your ProEFI inputs

I recently did the IS fan conversion. However the car hasn't ran yet since I did it so I can't comment too much on how they perform. But it sure does look better than the clutch fan. The built in overflow reservoir is nice.
I had to fab some brackets to mount it to the SC radiator. I put up the CAD file on here of the brackets I made. All said n done, I wonder if it may have been easier / cleaner to instead just mount them to an IS radiator, and custom mount the IS radiator in the car.

i would run the spal fans with the phr shroud instead of the is300 fans. The spal flow way more. I have done both fans kits on supra making upward 1300whp and 1500whp that are driven on the street in houston. Definitely spal fans with a solid state relay controlled by the computer.
But I am the type of person that as long as a part serves my purpose , I stay with the more proven one . Besides if one will do their research well they can get the IS300 from $100 to $200 where as that PHR spal setup is $600.

I saw that from a PHR thread at SF , having brought it out last year. I guess their IS300 fans setup was very expensive for most so they made an alternative and cheaper electric setup.

Hey 97-SC300,
Quick question about your CCW's (I probably read it in here but cant find it again) I remember you saying in this thread that CCW doesn't disclose offsets, and that you have 18's in front, and 17's in the rear, but what are your wheel widths and tire sizes?
