That explains the high MPG rating lol. I guess that's a good thing meaning it has a high tolerance to knock/detonation. Running it rich at 11-12 AFR should allow for a lot more boost and timing.
Loved that video. I was on the fence between an A90 and the LC500 but it pushed me over. Too bad I had to buy a '19 Land Cruiser two months ago for the family. I'll be getting the Supra over the LC500 for sure in the next few years.
Even though the drop in AFR looks dramatic in your graph it's not that big of a change. However it does correspond to when the ECU reaches peak boost or some kind of power limiter and it clearly shows the car has more in it than it's allowing.
I hope it's a calibration issue on that dynos...
Then we can roll that as a fluke :dunno:
Was the wideband hooked up on your car? 15-14:1 is way too lean for the amount of boost it's pushing even if it was direct injection.
Sorry, but I'll take the word of mainline. Different gears do give different torque readings unless the dyno is setup to correct them. There is a shop in my area that is known to make insane numbers of torque because he does 2nd gear pulls to inflate the numbers. You could also simply change the...
The high torque is due to it being in 5th (1.3:1) gear not 6th (1.0:1). A simple rough calculation converting the ratios would give about 330lb.ft of torque.
Regarding the torque converter locking up, look up torque converter torque multiplication. Basically when a converter is unlocked it acts...
Our Land Cruisers are 30hp less than US Land Cruisers. I doubt they would bother giving us the higher spec engine due to the additional stress from the heat.
I posted this a few months ago after I called my dealership here in Abu Dhabi.
"Toyota doesn't make the Supra anymore but you could get it's replacement, the 86."
I get messing around with traction settings for launch. But for roll racing you either leave it in D and floor it or let it hang in a specific gear and upshift just before the rev limiter. It's not rocket science. Skipping gears and launching late is just bad driving.
Anyway, from all the...
The weather in Florida this time of year is really not ideal for 1/4 mile drag racing. DA was definitely above 1500ft with the humidity and heat. It could easily shave off a couple of tenths if this was done in winter which would also explain the relatively low numbers on the dyno pulls from...
It's really not that hard to implement the other once one is done. Almost all headunits except for the first few Pioneer Appradios support both Carplay and AA. The most recent ones support Android Auto Wireless too. Not making one available really hurts a manufacturer's sales considerably in my...
My best guess is it's what the dealer ordered. Not sure how it works exactly over there, but here every dealership custom orders their cars from Toyota. For example the Land Cruiser in one dealership doesn't have any decals and only comes with the spare tire below. Another dealer a few hours...
Toyota always plays it safe. Even if the Supra flops, I doubt they would be losing any money as they haven't really invested much in it. I would even say BMW would be the bigger loser in that scenario. I come from the Tundra world, and they pump out exactly the amount of trucks they sell with a...
I'd do wheels and a front lip, maybe a black top on a white one but that's pretty much everything exterior wise. Probably de-badge the spelled out Toyota too.
