What did you do to your Supra today?

[FLtrackdays]

Which manifold did you install? Any tips you found? I’ll be installing the EOS next weekend most likely, and I found their instructions severely lacking. AMS’s instructions are pretty decent, and Kies has a really nice install video for the CSF. I suspect between them I can figure it all out, I just hate getting halfway into a big install and then running into an unexpected roadblock.

Are you doing this for tracking? It’s hot as balls down here this weekend at Sebring. Only once did I experience some sort of “lag”. But we can all tell as the day goes on, our cars definitely feel the heat. It’s not just Supras. We’re all having our best times in the morning when it’s 10 degrees cooler.

No mods, super fast Carlo will be driving today. Will be curious how he does in the 90+ heat (over 100 on track). This holy grail EOS manifold came up yesterday in conversation. No haters down here in Florida. Let us know how she does on track afterwards. Some kids will continue to track the next 6 months and the EOS manny may be worth every penny for hot as hades tracking.

Edit: never mind, he did fine ? and so did I. I’m just lower down on the page at 2:28.08 ?

Updated my previously too yellow supra badge overlay to a closer color to nitro.

Find someone with small hands and skinny arms. Make sure you have long pick tools and a long flathead screwdriver helps to pry the coolant connections off the oem manifold.

Everything but the coolant connections are super easy on the oem manifold.

Installing the aftermarket manifold is a pain in the ass since it’s much larger and there is like zero space because of it.

Tracking, spirited driving, whatever. The stock manifold heat soaks so fast it’s not even funny. A single 3rd-4th gear pull is enough to push the IATs nearly 50F above ambient with the stock manifold on my car (stock turbo, E50). That equates to an ~8% power loss all things being equal, that’s ~40 whp lost on a 500 whp car after less than 10 seconds at WOT. Forget losing power after a few laps, the stock manifold is robbing power before the first corner. On a stock car on 93 octane it won’t be as bad as mine since E50 allows the boost pressure to be turned up to the point that the stock turbo turns into a hair dryer above 5500 RPM, but it’s still significant.

I just went out and took some baseline logs on my car as a reference. Once I install the EOS I’ll post the results.

I hate badges. I hate yellow. I mean hate yellow with a fucking passion. But for some weird reason, I don’t hate this. Looks nice.

Forklifts are natural predators for sure.

Camber plates installed. Verus' instructions were DEFINITELY lacking. ???

You're on the street - you're safe. Now, if you were standing on the grass watching them leave a car meet you'd be in true danger.

No, they were trying to hide from you.

Mod #2 since getting the car and first purchase direct from Japan with an amazing 4 day delivery time!

This was easy peasy, lemon squeezy to install (~20mins) where the only fiddly bit was holding a nut under the wheel arch while screwing a bolt into it from the top of the strut with the wheel still on. The solution is a bit of double sided tape with the nut stuck onto the end of your finger.

I feel I am now on the slippery slope towards mod-a-geddon ending with the wife divorcing me.. ?

Also, looks like the weather may soon be warm enough to put the CF spoiler on that’s been sat here for what feels like 10,000 years.

Final thought…

That engine cover really should be CF… don’t ya think?? ?

PS Does this strut brace actually do anything other than look good… I have my doubts.. ? (my car is a 2020 which had no struts brace fitted at all)

Did you order at your local Toyota Dealership?
