Day: August 14, 2017

So getting back is was game time! Fired up the old Supra and set everything up for tuning. Just like the first time they first tuned the car off throttle percentage off of wastegate pressure which was 10psi. After completing that everything went very smooth and man my car was LOUD this time since the silencer wasn’t over my exhaust.

​

– All setup and ready

– DP Engineering Owners (Pieter) K20 Swapped Opel. All the custom work done by him! Including those headers!
So the Facebook page has all the video footage of how the day went along with comments but to summarize.

Supra made 330whp again on 10psi.. Then we wired up the boost controller and BOOM! Same issue as last time. The only thing that went through my mind was ” I just paid to have this fixed..” So after looking back over the boost controller wiring I had placed it on the wrong pin out as well and it all made sense on why things went all wacko when it was hooked. Took 2 mins to get it wired up correctly then we were back to tuning! Like every time things look good they wanted to take a quick lunch break. We decided to go to a close and cheap spot this time and get Döner. Then headed straight back to only 30 mins of tuning before another issue… They got out and said to check the plugs because it was miss firing again or losing spark. I was confused as we just changed the spark plugs last time and that my coilpacks were good so I pulled them out to inspect both and all was good until I got to cylinder #4.

Yup, coilpack was destroyed! Since I didn’t have a spare and Arnout didn’t have any with him tuning was either done or I can leave it there again and guess what? I WASN’T LEAVING IT BEHIND AGAIN! Lol So I agreed to stop where we were and drive it back at where it was and just stay out of boost as much as I can to make it back home with another 4 hour drive back. I bet you are wondering what WHP I ended with huh.. 🙁 it was 375WHP. With 12 PSI of boost it wasn’t too bad but saddening due to the fact I was looking forward to 450+ but got cut short. After leaving the shop at 11pm I was super tired but ready to get home. The exhaust was stupid loud and droning after 5 mins but the car was perfect and felt good! We did a quick stop at one gas station midway and sure enough I couldn’t help myself so I installed my front strut bar. I couldn’t really test it out the difference on the autobahn and was too exhausted to really try. Getting home at 3am I just passed out but glad to have my Supra back!
I will be returning back to get another tune but ill have cams next time to make the power that I want! Enjoy the pics of how it looks now

So, the day was a long one…. Started the day at 0700 in the morning meeting up with my two friends for the long journey ( Jacob and Brent). While leaving our local area it said 4 hours until we reach our destination and man I was not ready for that drive. Especially after only getting 6 hours worth of sleep and preparation. I’m also the type of person who likes to just get to the destination so I took no breaks and just did a straight shot getting there 30 minutes faster than timed ( #Autobahn ) and was too happy when I got close to the shop!​

I was sooo excited to see my car after almost 2 months it was insane! While pulling up to the shop I was praying that it was in the garage safe and covered…. but it wasn’t, I can tell nobody touched my car since Arnout dropped it back off at his shop.

There was dirt and rocks all in the rims and tires from rain and wind blowing around. There was also spider webs around the spokes to prove it hasn’t been moved and just sat, but… I was reunited with my Supra! While there I let the owner know that I was around just so he wouldn’t think so weirdo was looking at this car and he notified Arnout that I was around and that tuning was scheduled for 1700. Which mean’t we had A LOT of time to burn. So we went to the local plaza just to look around and get food and of course it had to be McDonalds.

– Beautiful scenery down here

– Super OG VW Beetle

– McDonalds everywhere is different and Netherlands definitely knows how to McDonalds 
While eating there we had 3 more hours to blow and lucky WiFi was in McDonalds and Arnout messaged me saying to stop by his shop since he was there and he knew I wanted to. So I looked on the maps and it was an hour away in Amsterdam so I was more than happy to go!

Upon walking in the shop this was the first car I laid eyes on! This perfect E34 M5 with a 2JZ VVTi Single turbo swap running an AEM V2 ECU. Just perfect and the body was immaculate! ​

– Just a part of what Supra Sport has to offer! This place is JZ heaven! Parts ranging from gasket all the way to manifolds and ECUs
Yup… like any other car enthusiast you just can’t walk into candy land and come out empty handed so I picked up a TRD front strut bar and a Cusco rear strut bar for the car because why not

So now that we have checked out Supra Store it was time to head back to get to tuning!

– Arnout’s banana van that lead the way back
