Hey, couple quick questions I have a auto and dyno'ed a while ago during the summer time and no fan and I did 345 at the wheels. Does that seem kind of low for a auto? It was hot that day so I boosted only about 14 psi, on a cold night I boost sometimes 20 psi on pump. So what is est of my hp at the wheels, with the right conditions.

My specs
94 tt with 50k on the clock when dyno'ed
blitz fmic
apexi filter
rmm dp + dragger no cats
jun cam gears set at 0

Also how much more power would I gain with a safc2 or something like that and how much is tuning if I drove the car down there? Thanks.

That's normal for 14psi on a hot day through an auto. With race fuel, reset the battery, on a cold night at 20psi and you'll be at around 400-420rwhp. Get an FMIC and that will go up about 15-20rwhp.

HorsepowerFreaks doesn't do any installations. TorqueFreaks is right next door to us. They do all the Supras. Their web-site is www.torquefreaks.com.

hey chris,
what happened to the great 'clearance' e-mails i use to get?
got the 1 on vegas video & the new aem gauge deal.
but havent any clearance 1's, did i get off the list?
you dont know you gotta have it, till you see it on sale :eyebulge:

thanks john

Good question and good idea. I made some major changes to our web-site recently which made the clearance pages no longer work. When I get back from Sema, I'll get them back on-line and send them out.

Thanks. :)

Any possibilties of a shift knob and boot for a mkiii?

Any possibilties of a shift knob and boot for a mkiii?


Sure. I should be able to get you a new shift boot. I just would need the VIN to confirm the interior color. As for the shift knob, if you have the stock or S3 shifter you will want one that has M12-1.25 threads (like many of the GReddy's). If you have cut your stock shifter you can use a "universal" style that has the 3 little screws as the base of the shift knob to clamp it on...

chris & jeff,
i dont mean to turn this into the lazy mans order line... but hell i'm lazy.
i'm running an external fuel pump w/ a 100 micon filter before the pump.
i need a single filter after the fuel pump before the rail, in case the pump explodes,
what micron filter should i be using? it needs to be -10 in/out.
hook me up w/ the correct filter/your part # info so i can order 1.
thanks

thanks jeff,
but not only am i'm lazy... but i'm kinda stupid.
is a 2nd 100 micron filter fine enough to protect the injectors?
i'm running naked right now & i know its only a matter of time
till i lunch the front 1/2 of the fuel system.

let me rephrase my question. on the dual in tank systems, PHR
titan, etc. they use the stock filter on 1 line to the rail & another
small in line filter to the other side. do you know what that filter
micron rating is?

in your ad they offered a 40 micron paper filter also. few people
run externals so there's not that much info out there. of course
everyone on the forums has their opinons, which gets tiring to read
& i do value yours. so let me know if a 100 is safe.

another option is to get 2 of the smaller filters & splice it on the -6 lines
@ the rail, but splicing one -10 is easier than splicing two -6's.
i really am lazy.
but what ever is best for the car is really what matters.

thanks again

hey, ordered some pressure plate bolts and flywheel bolts as i had aslo bought the rps max pp and 6 puck from you guys, it didnt come with em...anyways, got the bolts in the otherday. the pressure plate bolts were too short, they barely came through the other side of the pp, they were the right thread, just wanted to let you know so others dont receive the same problem.

Jonny,

What length are the bolts that you received? I reviewed your order once I read your post and the correct bolts are on your order, however seems you may have received the incorrect bolts. Let me know on the length and I will do some research here. If the incorrect bolts were shipped, I'll have our shipping department correct the mistake right away. Thanks for your time,

Josh.

Jonny,

Thanks for the pictures! I've spoken with Toyota and also with several other individuals and believe have found the problem. For the MK3, Toyota offers two different pressure plate bolts (based on length required). I'm very surprised that we haven't run into this issue before as we've always shipped the bolts that you received. I have the correct bolts on order from Toyota and will check the length with a MKIII RPS Pressure Plate prior to shipping them to you tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks,
Josh.

Hi,

this may sound like a stupid qn, but how much hp does the stock toyota clutch disc withstand ?

I', currently at about 350-400 hp, but "might" be planning to go single with a 500 hp aim.

from the description on the clutch kit setup,
referring to the horsepowerfreaks clutch kits/disc ,

it's a 6 puck , but in the description it says , it is incredibly slippable . is that still possible ? and why is it that the unsprung disc to be used with the stock flywheel ?


im under the impression that the unsprung disc will make the pedal feel a little hard too ... hmm



i'm on a 6 puck clutch too, not sure of the brand, but it engages very harshly .
im on the verge of converting back to an organic face clutch again .

is this really possible with the horsepowerfreaks 6 puck clutch disc ?

and with my future aim of 500hp,
as it says in the description, the stock toyota PP will be enough for it , is that really true ? if thats the case, i can save the money instead of getting the whole kit, i'll just get the clutch disc .

and one more thing, how is the pedal pressure feel with the next level up ?
the southbend PP can easily hold 650hp as quoted in the description.
but how is the pedal feel ?

other alternatives that im considering are :

RPS MAX Pressure Plate w-Street Disc Clutch Kits
RPS SPORT Pressure Plate w-Street Disc Clutch Kits

i guess everyone looks for as stock a feel as they can get to in terms of engagement n pedal feel.

but anyway, if im gonna stay bpu for a while longer, i might just go for the rps sport kit . im sure it can handle 400-450hp . :)




and one last thing, how much for the shipping to Australia ?
(for the clutch disc on its own , and for the clutch kit , separate quotes please) .

Thank you .

I'm assuming you're talking about a MKIV Supra, correct? If so, I'd recommend the ACT HD00 kit if you're below 500rwhp. It is very smooth engaging with a 33% heavier pedal. The engagement is based on the contact area of the pucks and the material. Our HPF bronze disks are for over 500rwhp and engage very easily and are very slippable. They're not as easy as stock, but nowhere near as harsh as most other disks out there. RPS pressure plates are nice as the pedal effort is slightly less. It has 200 lbs less clamp load as well, so holder power is decreased slightly.

Like many high-end cars, the MK4 uses a dual mass flywheel so you don't need or what sprung discs with the stock flywheel

buja
12-19-2005, 09:03 PM
correct me if im wrong, but doesn't our stock clutch disc come with a sprung centre ?

and does anyone know roughly how much power the stock clutch disc can withstand before it starts to give way ?
wonder if it can withstand bpu levels of like 400 hp

if not , seems like i'll go for the rps street disc , which is organic full face

No it doesn't. The stock disk is not sprung.

4.5" or 5" goliath2 exhaust for a MK3 with resonator but no aeroturbine at the end?

12-22-2005, 02:13 AM
Hi again,

just noticed that theres this clearance special for the ACT street organic disk.

how's this clutch disc compared to the RPS clutch disc (organic) ?

theres no specs for the ACT disc here (torque NM rating).

the ACT kit that im looking at "ACT HD00 Heavy Duty with Stock Disc Clutch Kits"

thats with a stock toyota OEM clutch ?

We do make a 4" Goliath in a "straight pipe" version and may be able to add a resonator. But in order to develop a 4.5 or 5" Goliath we would need at least 5 guys interested so we could justify fitting a prototype and making the jigs. Those interested would need to know that the exhaust would hang another ~1" lower as our 4" goliath tucks up as high as possible now.

The ACT HD00 is rated for 588 ft.lbs (at the crank), while the RPS Max w/ OEM disc is rated to 660 ft.lbs (at the crank). The trade-off is that the RPS gets its higher torque rating using a stronger pressure plate so the pedal effort will be higher than the ACT...

It will probably come down to how much power you plan on making throughout the life of the clutch. I try to choose a clutch that has at least a 10% higher rating than I plan on making. Using that as a guide, I would use the RPS on cars making < 500rwhp, and the ACT on cars making less than 450rwhp...

Does your HKS super mega flow intake system for the MKIII come with just the filter and couplers or does it include the CARB approved AFM? Also, is there a better intake system I should be looking at for BPUs?

The only mod I have is a Blitz Nur Spec exhaust.

JoshA
01-03-2006, 03:38 PM
thebrosh,

The HKS SMF for the MK3 is a standard bolt on intake kit and does not include an aftermarket AFM, but bolts up to your stock AFM. Both the Apexi and the K&N kits are very well respected kits. While the blitz kit is one of the best flowing kits, the filtering ability has not received the best reviews. If you're willing to (as they're often on backorder) the Apexi Power Intake is worth the wait!

whazup! the HPF 86-92 intercooler kit does not have any installed pictures on the website. I was wondering if HPF has any pics or if anyone else has some pics of it installed. I am curious because there is no specific description of all the routing besides "replaces your entire stock intercooler piping except for the rubber pipe that goes from the elbow to the turbo". Does it route on the side through the fender where the stock one is or through the intake hole, and which side of the strut/TEMS housing does it go? I know, I think through this stuff too much...

BTW...elbow to the turbo???...is that from the compressor side of the turbo(of course) to the connector "elbow" before going into the intercooler because that is like one of the most important pieces. Mine is cracked at the end and i have it stretched to clamp onto the compressor housing exit. Neways, if someone has a pic...it is apparent that would help mehttp://thesupraforums.com/images/smilies/frown.gif .

glad to see the specials are back :w00t: & as usual gave me a reason to
look for stuff i didnt know i needed to have.

1st i do need a turbo timer harness for my sc300. (big sale, i know) but its
been a PIA to get the right 1 so far. a aussi friend had said they use
TT-5 harness in the soarer. in vehile specific you list a harness for the
sc300 & soarer. but in the unspecified 'master' list its not listed. i just
wanted to verify before i ordered. ALSO, on your HPF website, i didnt see
any "contact us" to e-mail you from your site instead of posting here.
its probably is there & i just didnt see it. :hitcomput

2nd i wanted to know if there was a big differance between the hks hypermax
perfomers & the newer RS series. (supra fitment) i'm looking for something
that the height adjustment is independant of the spring preload. that way
i can properly corner weight the car.

thanks

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t thing OBX makes a header for the 7M. I know they make them for the 2J and the 1J applications but I cant find anything on the 7M. As for the Pacesetter, they work pretty well as I have a few customers running them and they like them.

Hey guy's
since I had my clutch and flywheel installed I have noticed some strange vibration, stemming I believe from the drive shaft. It seems to happen off and on when sitting still at a light. Any idea's as to what this could be, or what I can do to resolve it?
Also....., After installing an oem clutch and flywheel..., Would I get some kind of chatter from that? Do these parts just need to be broken in? I'm sorry to disturb but I can't get any type of straight answer in the general forum and was hoping you could shed some light on these two topics for me. Thanks for your time. Mike

Ronw
05-05-2006, 03:50 PM
The first question is what clutch did you have installed? The second issue is if the vibration is prevalent when sitting still, we can eliminate the driveshaft because it’s not moving. Is it more noticeable when the clutch pedal is pressed or released?

supramacist
05-05-2006, 09:46 PM
the clutch is a no name oem, same with the fly wheel. It seems to be more previlent when the cluth pedal is on the floor, but if it get's going real good it won't stop if I lift up on it. That was so simple. I had totally forgotten the drive shaft doesn't move if the car is not in motion. The vibration, from the cock pit seems to be coming from the rear end. Thank you.

Ronw
05-15-2006, 03:12 PM
There are a number of things to look at. The first step would be to do a visual inspection of the complete drive train. Motor and transmission mounts and the like. If that all seems well, you will need to take a close look at the transmission and clutch. It could be the pressure plate bolts have backed out (very common) or something as bad as a bent or misaligned input shaft.

Thanks Ron, it seems to have cleared up. I thin I shucked a power steering pump. The resevior was full so there could not have been any air in the lines. So I drained the everything anf filled it with lucas power steering. It helped a bit but It's not getting it done and I hate to drive the car in this state. I guess i'm going to look for a psp.

If you're swapping out the head, you can always get a Head overhaul kit. However, that would come with a stock head gasket. Many people are getting the Yonaka head gasket sets from us these days for the MK3 supras. As far as bolts, definitely get the ARP bolts if you're going to run higher boost levels.

Firepower Supra... I'm not sure if we can get those. You'll have to ask my sales dept. Shoot an email to sales@horsepowerfreaks.com.

Take care,

Hey Chris, I just received the dual walbro rewire kit and I have some questions.
1)The 1 page instruction wasn't very helpful. I was wondering if you could elaborate more on what wire goes where?? I received 4ft of white and 4ft of black wire,
1 red butt conn., 2 yellow butt conn., 2 ring terminals, 8 female terminals(for the relay i assume).....4 are one size and the other 4 are smaller, dual relay, 60amp fuse holder with 40 amp fuse, 1 red wire and 1 black wire each a little over 8ft long, and lastly a lot of red wire which is the main power wire I assume.


2)What size wire does the 60amp fuse holder have?? 8gauge?? The reason I ask is because the wire on the fuse holder is bigger than the main power wire that came in the kit and the main wire is supposed to be 8 gauge too right???

ChrisB
06-01-2006, 03:06 PM
The red wire should be 8 gauge. If the fuse holder wire is bigger than the 8 gauge wire, then simply trim it to fit in the connectors.

8 gauge wire from starter to fuse to back of car, then to power on relay for both relays. Then take signal wire from prior fuel pump to "switched pin" on both relays. Output of each relay goes to power on each pump. Ground on each pump goes to a solid ground preferably on the frame (these draw a lot of juice) and you can join these to a ground on the relay.

You should have sufficient wire and connectors to do all of this. That is basically what is on my Supra. :)

Take care,
Chris.

t78ht
06-01-2006, 07:21 PM
So the dual rewire kit is supposed to come with 8 gauge wire and the single kit comes with 10 gauge?? It appears that my dual kit came with 10 gauge wire and not 8 like it should have.

8 gauge wire from starter to fuse to back of car, then to power on relay for both relays.(So from the single wire going to the back I Y off and connect another wire and hook them to each pin?? ) Then take signal wire from prior fuel pump to "switched pin" on both relays. Output of each relay goes to power on each pump. Ground on each pump goes to a solid ground preferably on the frame (these draw a lot of juice) and you can join these to a ground on the relay.

You should have received 8 gauge wire, not 10 gauge wire. Can you please tell me your order # so I can look back and see who put together your kit? Also, can you email me a picture of what you got to chris@horsepowerfreaks.com?

Thanks.
Chris.

Alright chris no playing around this time. As in me f'n with you.
I need to know that if I am going to replace a BHG, if and when I take the parts to a shop to have trimmed..., DO I need to know the MHG thickness then, or do I wait and let them tell me how thick it needs to be? I personally don't want to go less than an hks mhg 2mm. IF the price is competetive, I will buy it from you. I also want the bead gasket not the grommet or the lip, but the bead. I wish there was a machine shop around here that someone i could trust would referr me to. I"ll be in and out all day. I appreciate your time and Thank You.

supramacist,

You'll need to find out how much your head and block have been machined. Take those measurements...add them together...then add the thickness of your stock HG. thats the mininum thickness of HG you'll need in order to achieve the same compression as stock. I'd highly recommend erroring on the thick side. Make sure your piston bore size is not the same or larger than your headgasket bore size!

Nick M,
Please note that I addressed your concern...please let me know if you have any more questions about our policies here at HPF.

Thank you
