WOW, looks awesome mate.....

Nice clean ute mate......notary left these days.
Question.....who speced up the motor as in what cam and comp? If it were engine builder why are u paying to have it fixed? Did I read that orig cam was a 286 spec cam? If so 11.1 us prob too much comp. Tuff build very similar specs to my build. Was thinking of using the Starr manifold but the price put me off. Like the stok look they have.
Rims looked mint on it but understand the need for grip lol. How does it go against new utes?

Thanks man. I won't comment about the engine builder on the forum. I just thought it was best to try and sort it out myself. I quite like the starr manifold, but yes they are expensive, I was lucky to get mine second hand. It goes pretty well against the new utes. I have raced a 317 maloo and it didnt stand a chance, but I presume it was stock. I doubt I would be able to compete with a lsx after its had some work done to it. Have seen your build thread, good luck with everything mate!

WOW, looks awesome mate.....

Cheers heaps mate

I have decided that I'm going to put the ute up for sale in the next couple of months. I just don't have the time for it anymore, because I work away a lot. It also needs a couple of things done here and there and I don't have the motivation anymore, which is a shame because I have a shiny nitrous kit waiting to go on. Will post an update soon in regards to the sale. It will be sad to see her go.

[betts]

Thought I would put up some pictures of the new engine covers and manifold setup.

The ute has been sold!

Have purchased a toyota supra. Has been tuned to 800rwhp but is now tuned at 683rwhp for the street.

You now live your life a quarter mile at a time.

[walesy]

at least you know that dyno sheet is a true figure, thunder uses a single roller dyno, looks pretty good, big change from the ute

[Jecs]

i heard that you sold the ute. sad to see it go, wish i had the coin to buy it. supra looks nice on the plus side. welcome to the world where getin power is stupid easy. dont wrap ur self around a pole

[Drawnnite]

wow that ute was very nice. you had a great standard with it.

and thats a nice supra you picked up. enough gauges to send that thing into space!

[betts]

Cheers for the replies folks! The ute has been sold to one of my mates so I'm happy that I still get to see it, and will be kept updated on what happens to it. The new owner does have plans to put the nitrous system in, so it won't be going to waste Andrew! The difference in power and power delivery between the cars is staggering, it's taking me a while to get used to the supra, and we have been getting some wet weather recently so that's only hampering my efforts to tame it haha.

[some_guy]

Even mine on the stock twins in the wet is enough to get your heart beating.

yours must be a nail biter

[elmaso]

thats awesome man, where the engine shots of the supra?!
haha

[Drawnnite]

haha

you should know that a supra has a twin turbo rocket attached to the inside. thus you will not need pictures =P

and good to hear you stil lget to see your old ute

[dobesz]

Love the ute mate! Looks like u got a nice supra! Maybe add more gauges lol. Love the cockpit feel they have when your seated in them!
Sorry didn't have time to read all your thread but what power did u make and what cam did u use

[betts]

Thanks mate, here's a couple for you

Yea I know what you mean about the cockpit feel, everything in the cabin is directed at the driver, its a weird feeling at first. With the ute I made 300rwhp with a custom grind cam from camtech. Still going strong with your build?

[Jonnii]

wow no wonder it made 800 horses. Must be a massive change looks great

[dobesz]

Ha ha sorry didn't realize I had already commented in this thread on pretty much the same question lol! 300 at the rears, f?ck yea that's one tail happy Vs. Mmmmm my build is going slow, motor is in shed wondering why it has no home lol. Been to busy with my other toys lol
Dam that's a serious engine bay!! Vin would be impressed u may even beat him to the train

Well... it is a ten second car hahaha! Good luck with the rest of the build man, hope it goes smoothly for you.

[dobesz]

How did u get 300 at the rears with the bananas? I thought 200 was the max u could get with the bananas? And about 220 with the starr manifold?

Because you're both talking different languages....Betts is talking HP, you're talking KW.

[betts]

Haha yep, that'd be it!

[Brendo169]

went for a ride in his new supra last week....it is ridiculous....the power comes on so strong. never been in anything that quick! my eyeballs are still wide open

[betts]

Haha Brendo, I've still gotta take you for a full throttle spin yet!
