A few pictures of Tri's Supra...

[WilliamZ]

I went down with Tri to pick up his car from Sound Performance yesterday. Here are a few engine shots. More to come spring 07. This winter the TRD widebody is getting done then coming back and getting tuned for C-16 and VP import fuel. It should be a fun summer :)

OMG! Looks amazing! That turbo is just SICK! SP does it right thats for sure!

[fly5150]

That is beautiful.

[Crawlin]

300 hp = 12's

sorry, had to crack it :)

but the car looks phenominal!!!

Nice car though. It would make me sick to know how much he has into that thing.

It makes me sick to think of how much jerm has put into his civic:wow

But that right there is also a piece of art if you ask me, looks wicked.:headbang

[PureSound15]

That looks rediculous! I'd be cleaning it after every time I drove it.

I should have bought a TT Lexus instead of the Cl:mad:

[Teufelhunden]

Very nice.

Id almost say that that could be the one known as "josh" I'd have to agree...

[Crawlin]

that is by far the funniest shit i've seen on this site, hahahahaha

nice zoom in

[jbiscuit]

mos def looks popped.

WINNAR!

[Flicktitty]

that is bad ass! looks way differant then i saw it about 5 months ago with the now smalller GT42R lol..... can't wait to see it out and about!

[HRSEPLA]

That looks very nice! I can't wait to see it go! (Down the 1/4 mile)
He will have to know tae kwon do just to shift that thing so fast, keeping it a 6 speed!!!!:)
I like that little guy.

[Flicktitty]

wait he is keeping it 6spd? that has to be one of very very few GT-47 powerd 6spd. supras out there.

[WilliamZ]

Chris from SP took the pictures. I did some filming of it on the dyno. No big pulls since it had 93 in it but it sounds pretty wicked. Tri said it is staying 6 speed for now. It was putting out more power and coming on quicker than a similar setup that put out 1000whp. It should be interesting. As far as cost, he has less money in the car including the cost of the car than the price of a brand new Z06.

[Flight_740]

As far as cost, he has less money in the car including the cost of the car than the price of a brand new Z06.


Well either way, it's beyond my budget.:wow :rolf

[Flicktitty]

any dyno specs on pump gas? should be around 850ish no?

[SlowMotion]

As far as cost, he has less money in the car including the cost of the car than the price of a brand new Z06.

That makes it ever better, the fact that he did it without dumping more than he needed on it, and get towards his goals of 1000whp or better...The difference between this car and most other high HP supras, is the fact that Tri will probably take the extra steps needed to make it hook up to produce some great 1/4 times.

As far as the pics go...excuse me while I go change my shorts...that is definitely a work of art...very nice setup Tri and thanks for the pics Chris :thumbsup

[FourEyedFord]

HAHA!

Wow, that thing is blingin'!!

Can't wait to see it at the track. :thumbsup

Very nice, GT45R?

[Flicktitty]

Very nice, GT45R?
i'm 99% sure its a 47R, he had a 42R and i heard that was too uhh whats that word small? :rolf

[JakeJeske]

best supra in wisconsin. hands down winner

[Flicktitty]

yeah it is deffinitally up there, I wanna see what "that blue supra" has to offer before i say it is the best. Cause he is planning the same build :wooo

[sloLs1]

very nice... i cant wait so see it rolling around! it must sound wikked!

[Cryptic]

like wow! that is gorgeous

[Mudd Runner]

Too much chrome for me.

[Prince Valiant]

Gah! I'm blinded by the CHROME! :goof

looks great though.

Two questions: What kind of drugs does tri deal, and how does he deal them?
:goof


http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/6242/poppedcollaryr5.jpg Should have hit the "ENHANCE" button after the zoom a couple more times :goof

trying to set the record for most :goof smiley's in a single post :goof

[nismodave]

Thats some serious hardware.

[rally_scort]

i noticed regular hose clamps on the i/c piping.I thought its required to run T-bolt clamps when you reach that high of a hp and pressure? :confused

[WilliamZ]

any dyno specs on pump gas? should be around 850ish no?

I should quit speaking for Tri but I haven't told him I posted the pics on here yet. There were not any big pulls done on pump gas. When it comes back after the body work it's going to be tuned for C-16 on the street and VP Import for 40psi race setting. On the street it will be at about 27psi which would I guess be around 8XXwhp :confused The power was coming on quicker and with more power than another similar setup that put down 1000whp.

[WilliamZ]

i noticed regular hose clamps on the i/c piping.I thought its required to run T-bolt clamps when you reach that high of a hp and pressure? :confused

It might look that way but the edge that was put on the pipes will make it so the hoses will not blow off.

[floaters]

Very nice, GT45R?

47-88

[pOrk]

The 325 tires he has for it look way too big, haha. Car is sick, cant wait to see him run.

And Tri owns a nail salon or 2, no drug dealing ( that I know of )

[Brandon W.]

them must be some expensive nail jobs......he doesnt sell drugs...maybe he jacks Semi trucks filled with dvd players.:goof

[WilliamZ]

GT47-80 turbo His new wheels that are coming in next week will have 355's on the rear. 6 1/2 rear lip :drool: :drool:

There has to be atlest 10 6speed gt47-80 equip supras out there. i can run off 9 total in my head right now.

There is no secret to getting a supra to hook either tein suspension or hks drag and some slicks and skinnys and your all set the days of a 1000hp 12 second supra are over.

[TheBlueSupra]

i'm 99% sure its a 47R, he had a 42R and i heard that was too uhh whats that word small? :rolf



Its a gt47-80 No R as they don't sell the R version of the 47 and 55 to the public.

[TheBlueSupra]

yeah it is deffinitally up there, I wanna see what "that blue supra" has to offer before i say it is the best. Cause he is planning the same build :wooo


Yeah as of now Tri has the sickest supra in wisconsin. the Green TRD widebody from madison is pretty bad ass though. the setup i have is slightly bigger but my budget isnt as big so it wont be done for a bit. 3.4 liter, gt47 or maybe alittle bigger. and its a chevy auto trans. Im an intake manifold, cams, some piping, and wheels away from being done. :thumbsup

[TheBlueSupra]

Congrats Tri Summer will be fun for you. Hopefully for me as well.

[BigSnailBuick]

300 hp = 12's

Just what I was about to say LOL. But yeah that thing looks crazy and Sound performance is the S*** for Supras. That will not be a car to mes with of teh freeway. Lookin hott:thumbsup

the Green TRD wide body one you speak of is currently for sale on ebay.

thanks for setting the record straight with what things i got wrong. i have been out of the supra loop for a year or 2 now :(

[TheBlueSupra]

No problem. everything was just about correct :) The best part about Tri's setup is he still wont have traction with those massive i'm guessing street tires he's putting on. heated up slicks are gonna be the only way to go. :)

[FourEyedFord]

There is no secret to getting a supra to hook either tein suspension or hks drag and some slicks and skinnys and your all set the days of a 1000hp 12 second supra are over.

Instead you have 1000hp 10 second supras. :rolf :)

[jbiscuit]

I wish Tri a lot of luck with the car. I hope he can get it to hook and row the 6-speed into the 9's

[fly5150]

Looks awesome!

Please tell me he is going to put a timing belt cover on it... Don't make me tell the THREE stories of cars I have personally seen suck something into the belts on cars that were running no cover. Crud looks like I just told it... The cam gears are sexy but not worth breaking the motor over it!

[TheBlueSupra]

Marko's car was an all white car. Sound performance's supra was that one you speak of which they didnt really take out much, marko ran 8.45

[Flicktitty]

That might be pushing it. I have footage of Marco's yellow/blue Supra going 9.00 with alot more then 1000hp at the tires.
yeah "SPO1" as it was called ran a 9.001 for a while. I have a buddy that works there that said the were more focused on making other peoples cars go fast and not focus much on there car. I don't think they had SP01 out in 05 or early 06. Then it came out with a new paint job (Orange) and new turbo setup.SP01 Runs 8.38 @ 169.4 but back with the old setup i'm pretty sure that was on a smaller turbo setup(GT42?) then what Tri is running. again i'm not 100% sure. and i believe they did it with 1100-1200RWHP. So depending how Tri sets up his suspension and how well he can wrestle this car. it could go anywhere from 8.60's - 20.1's lol

This is what WOTM 6spd. Supra ran with a slightly bigger turbo(GT47-88) to Tri's (GT47-80)

Performance Numbers:
Best 60ft to Date: 1.38
Best 1/8th 5.66@126
Best 1/4 Mile 8.62@169.0
Best MPH 171.28mph

[wheelsofsteel]

I know it was a few years back that the yellow/blue one was out. Plus they have it racing a bike on the RSD portion of the Scandalous Racing video and they show the time slip. That is where I got the information from. Also my understanding is that it "supposively" made near 1400ish.
In that video he also raced a Mustang (blue w/silver stripes) but that didn't pan out so well for the Supra. :thumbsup

[nitrous]

Maybe he'd be insterested in running a particular a twin turboed Grand Prix. :P

[pOrk]

Jesus those tires look huge! I saw it out last night

[Bee]

tri came by today to kick it for a bit... that supra is pretty and mean looking!!! actually words can't describe...:thumbsup It's like the ultimate street import with the best of everything!!! RWD, Turbo, cool looking, big tires, awesome interior, etc... just an overall beautifully fast import.....:thumbsup

[Waver]

first time I have seen the pics, and al I have to say is wow........

[micro_machine]

I LIKE..... nice loving all the bling bling...show and go thumbs up :thumbsup .

i was up yesterday, (Fri) and saw it at Culvers that Supra is bad ass and it is done right, nothing was spared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dam that thing is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured I'd post this in a topic already started. Sorry for bringing it back from the dead.

Rumor has it that Tri's Supra just put down 980 rwhp with C16 and on 35psi

thats it? that is not a number that cures cancer? because all supras have 2000 hp.:goof

[97z2801ss]

no offense but i'm not thinking thats right. it sounds about 100-200ish to low. when i talked to him he said it was gonna go back in around feb/march after the widebody goes on to get the "BIG TUNE"

[WilliamZ]

They were just doing more driveability tuning with c16 fuel and some pulls. It's going to put out decent power. Just messing around with base boost. He's not going for high numbers until this summer when the car gets to the track and he gets used to driving it. It does have the right suspension on it, it's just not dialed in yet.

[fastsihb]

deleted per request

[Junky Giorgio]

hopefully keep the car straight on the road with better suspension too!

[ThatWhiteCivic]

This summer sounds more and more interesting

[Flicktitty]

hmmm
i actually just heard about this "rumor" too....


kindda interesting....

[TheBlueSupra]

definitely a rumor, man. i know he's not going for that kind of power until this summer. needs to get the right suspension and tires underneath him, get em behind the right fenders, and get some more track time with the car before he unleashes it.

Not a rumor. its a fact. vids were posted on supraforums.com today. and it has the right suspension. but then again what do i know. :D\


and 980rwhp on that setup isnt alot that actually should be base boost.

Wasn't this supposed to just be his first run on the dyno.... If it was, I doubt they were going to push it. I'm sure there will be more power on the way.

Do not get me wrong...the car is bad ass, and I get along good with Tri, but ANYBODY can buy a car, and write checks to OTHER people to build it for them. I would be really impressed if Tri would do the work for himself instead of paying others to do everything.

I agree with that to a CERTAIN point. You would be hard pressed to build a car to this caliber without TONS of experience. Sound Performance is top notch when it comes to Supras. And I think if you want it done right and want the car to be reliable, sometimes the checkbook does the work. If you want to wrench around under the hood of a twin snail set-up, add some bolt-ons etc that is one thing. But to BUILD a car like this takes outside help. Having SP in your corner is a BIG advantage should the car have any issues down the road.

Just my 2 bits

I agree with you that a car of this caliber for most people would require outside help, and Sound Performance is a top notch shop. I was not bashing Tri, but I do not think that he has ever actually put together any of his cars, and I have known him for a LONG time. But, to each their own, and some people do not want to work on their stuff, they just want to be known for the car.

[jbiscuit]

well put it into perspective....I couple probably put together a 900whp Supra if someone gave me a car and a bank account to draw from. Its not top secret what goes into these cars to make the big numbers. The only difference is that my car would end up costing about the same to build when you factor in the mistakes I make during the build, the broken parts etc....it costs a LOT of money to build a high quality, top notch car like Tri's but if you want to play you know what they say.....

[Flight_740]

So whats 980 HP good for in a supra? 11.50's??

I am not here to prove anything, or try to be the fastest because I will never be. I am a passionate car guy like the rest of you. I have done allot of my own work on my car but building a presicion engine that requires as much hp and reliability as this one, I needed the assistance of SP perfessionals. How many of you have built your own engines and have been succsesful with high horespower along with reliablity? If I had the shop add on the single turbo conversion that would be a different story... When it comes internal engine parts I don't mess around with it. I rather have the motor built right by professionals than have to spend the money twice. As you know Supra perfromance parts are NOT CHEAP!!!!!. To each of their own, whether you built it yourself or had it perfessional built . The best of luck to all of you.

Hi Tri - Nick


i can say that i put together my engine with the help of a professional (Gean) just ask him i helped every step of the way and he let me order the parts for it, AND THEY WERE EXACTLY WHAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE, but i did not have the know how and equipment to boar hone and the other extensive machine work. when it comes to an engine, a professional has experience and he knows what will work and what wont. Gean's favorite quote is "everyones an engine builder" he is the one that fixes all the other do it yourselfers and shops mistakes. I know first hand it is cheaper to do it right the first time than having to redo it!! There is l lot more than throwing shit together belive it or not, just because it says it is balanced +- 2G don't mean shit!! even if the parts are expensive as **** it still needs to be checked!!!!!!!!!

If I had the shop add on the single turbo conversion that would be a different story... When it comes internal engine parts I don't mess around with it. I rather have the motor built right by professionals than have to spend the money twice. As you know Supra perfromance parts are NOT CHEAP!!!!!. To each of their own, whether you built it yourself or had it perfessional built . The best of luck to all of you.

Amen to that.:thumbsup

i can say that i put together my engine with the help of a professional (Gean) just ask him i helped every step of the way and he let me order the parts for it, AND THEY WERE EXACTLY WHAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE, but i did not have the know how and equipment to boar hone and the other extensive machine work. when it comes to an engine, a professional has experience and he knows what will work and what wont. Gean's favorite quote is "everyones an engine builder" he is the one that fixes all the other do it yourselfers and shops mistakes. I know first hand it is cheaper to do it right the first time than having to redo it!! There is l lot more than throwing shit together belive it or not, just because it says it is balanced +- 2G don't mean shit!! even if the parts are expensive as **** it still needs to be checked!!!!!!!!!

what i ment was more the building (bore,stroke head work) and what not.

yeah i know i was stating that its ok to go to a pro to get an engine of that calibur done. Nice car tri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not get me wrong...the car is bad ass, and I get along good with Tri, but ANYBODY can buy a car, and write checks to OTHER people to build it for them. I would be really impressed if Tri would do the work for himself instead of paying others to do everything.

I seem to remember a few late nights at Tri's house in his garage after he bought the supra helping him out. He was well on the way to a big turbo working on it himself. Then he realized that he wanted more, more that he knew was over his head. Hats off to him for making his dream a reality.

Good luck this year dude! :thumbsup

(It might not be a bad idea to double check those pistons and rod bolts :goof )

I know I'm playing with fire :devil

Thanks for your support and kind words. Its to bad I had to learn the hard way that it doesn't matter how much power you make it all comes down to the driver and putting traction to the ground! I am in the process of learning how to drive this rear wheel drive car, Its totally different than a front wheel drive. As of right now I don't care about my time slips. What is now important to me is keeping the car straight and driving it SAFE!!!!!

Thanks Tri

I can't wait for this thing to get back from the body shop! As with any high HP car traction will be an issue, but once it hooks I think there will be very few if any cars that will be able to hang with it. And not only that, but it will have the handling, looks, and reliability to go along with it which in my opinion makes the ultimate street car. It's nice to see people going for the total package once in a while instead of just being one dimensional. I am definitely looking forward to this summer, there should be a few very quick and well built cars running around.

Btw, I think that in addition to the King of the Highway we should have another contest similar to the Ultimate Streetcar Shootout which would showcase a cars overall performance and streetability.

Good luck to you too Tri, and like I said, I was not bashing on you. I still remember the stickered up automatic Integra you used to rock, and I think you had a 4 door Civic at one time if I remember right, so you have come a long way.
