Customer Spotlight: 1994 Toyota Supra RHD with PHR Single Turbo Kit

The Toyota Supra is a JDM legend and prices for some of the highly sought-after generations and models are skyrocketing. Our customer Peter Caruana is the proud owner of a 1994 Toyota Supra right-hand-drive JDM version. When he had purchased the car about six months ago, the Supra was virtually all stock with an intake and mid-pipe. While Peter was going to initially keep the vehicle mostly as-is, the inevitable mod bug hit him hard and he began modifying the build. He hit us up at Vivid Racing for a Powerhouse Racing Single Turbo Kit and also installed a few other goodies, which we will list down below. If you are looking for the ultimate quality Single Turbo System for your Supra, then PHR is the way to go and we can certainly say that our customer made the right choice here.

The Powerhouse Racing Street Torque Turbo Kit is the latest version of the world’s first supra turbo kit: the PHR Street Turbo Kit. This revised package, now coupled with new precision CEA technology turbochargers, offers incredible power delivery unlike ever before. Designed specifically to increase spool, response, and torque, the PHR turbo kit is perfect for anyone looking to gain low RPM efficiency for both street driving and road racing. And as Peter mentions in his YouTube video below, he tracks the car so this kit will really give him an edge over stock. 

With this complete system, a full spool is seen as early as 3700 RPM and full power capabilities top out above 750 horsepower with the appropriate supporting mods and turbo size. The street torque turbo kit still seamlessly bolts up to the Supra’s factory catalytic converter, or aftermarket stock twin downpipe, making it one of the only turbo kits on the market that will pass an emissions test. The PHR kit also comes with drop-down intercooler pipes which can be coupled to your specific front-mount intercooler.

ETS Front Mount Intercooler Kit

FIC 1000cc Fuel Injectors/Rail

Walbro 450lph Fuel Pump / Adj. Regulator

I haven't posted much of what I've been doing with the new Z on here but here's a small look at what I've been gathering since I bought the car. Found a rare and cool looking Z31 specific Wangan whale tail spoiler. Bought am 84-87 Maxima VG30 intake plenum and had it modified to work with the Z31 Ordered GKTech high miss alignment spherical bearing outer tie rods with bump steer adjustment, and the matching apherical bearing inner tie rods as well Ordered Powertrix Ultralite Z31 coilovers with 8k and 6k spring rates, probably the best coilover you can get for the Z31 And ordered Mitsubishi 3000GT fuel rails which will allow me to run oring style injectors. Not shown are the: increased angle steering knuckles Brand new AC compressor Rear lower valences Z33 Brembo calipers Intercooler Intercooler piping Walbro 450lph fuel pump The Volvo electric fan conversion I did Also i sent my T3/T4 turbo out to be re-balanced. Ended up needing to be fully rebuilt because the seller I bought it from fucked it when he "put in new seals" so that was unexpected. When i get it vack it should be capable of putting down 400hp easily around the 15-16psi range. Can't wait to get all of this stuff on the car.

Car Craft’s Top 50 Speed Parts From SEMA! #MTSEMA18

If you pride yourself as a car crafter and like to keep up with the newest products and trends, then we don’t have to tell you how important the SEMA Show is. Each year, the Las Vegas Convention Center swells to capacity as industry folks from around the globe put themselves in face-to-face contact with the parts and people that move the performance world forward. This is where the search begins and ends, as car builders (who are vetted members of the industry) look for inspiration, find information, and in many cases come home with ideas for building a better mousetrap.

Trends come and go, but in 2018 we saw a lot of familiar themes return, and gain momentum. The crate engine continues to dominate, with even more powerful versions from the Big Three. Most notably, Dodge took the wraps off their 1,000hp Helliphant 426ci Gen III Hemi. Chevy was close behind with a sweet-looking LT5 Gen-V small-block packing 755 hp. Of course, the Ford Coyote and Voodoo onslaught continues with all manner of support coming from engine hardware manufacturers.

Don’t assume, however, that Dodge has the horsepower crown locked up. All bets are off in the aftermarket as nobody wants to play second fiddle, including car crafters. The LS contingent was strongly felt, with supporting products like pistons, rotating assemblies, blocks, intakes, supercharger kits, and all manner of swap gear flooding the LVCC halls. Likewise, the late-model Ford V8 in the form of Coyote and Voodoo iterations was well supported too.

As we mentioned, superchargers continue to come on strong, and not just for the Chevy LS small-blocks. ProCharger, Vortech, Edelbrock, and RIPP all had expanded product lines (Edelbrock’s new Ford Coyote kit being of note here). We especially liked RIPP’s new 425hp kit for the Dodge V6 Pentastar—those engines need some love! ProCharger also dropped the mic with their new 3,500hp-capable F3X-146.

We’re also seeing the continuation of growth in the high-end clutch market, a function of the higher power levels we’re seeing from the OE and aftermarket. Dual- and even triple-disc clutches are seen now as legit street solutions for outrageous torque production; their low pedal effort, high friction, and ease of modulation gaining grace and composure—as well as acceptance—away from the track. (We’re big on Mantic, Centerforce, McLeod, and Spec, but there are so many to choose from.)

An exciting new development came out of the Advanced Fuel Dynamics booth. This company has developed software and hardware that piggybacks onto existing OE and aftermarket fuel injection systems that automatically detects the octane content in E85 fuel (or any ethanol-based gasoline blend) and automatically adjusts the fuel and ignition to maximize performance. Sounds deceptively simple, but when you consider the growing number of E85 fueling stations, stronger emissions regulations, the need for more hp, and the high cost of race fuel, we expect AFD’s product line to come on strong.

Carburetors are making a comeback too. With the sweet spot of the EFI market still in relatively high price territory, carburetors are still a great hot rodding deal. A recent spate of improvements across many lines—including the all-new product line-up from brand new manufacturer Fuel System Technologies (FST)—has reinvigorated what had been a stale market. (FST even introduced their Electro-Jet model, an affordable, computer-controlled carb unlike any we’ve ever seen. Stay tuned for more on FST!)

Turbocharging pioneer “Bad Brad” Brand applies his racecar knowledge to a 1,500rwhp 1993 SVT Cobra

Turbocharging is an extensive part of today’s outlaw drag racing world, enabling the upper echelon racecars to accelerate to over 200 mph in just 3.7-seconds on eighth-mile drag race courses. Turbochargers in drag racing might date back to the ‘60s, however it only went mainstream around the turn of the century and has been going strong ever since.

The Grand National vs. Mustang wars of the mid 1990s certainly contributed to the mystique and effectiveness, after all if the snail-shaped boost maker could make a V-6 powerplant produce over 1,000hp at the time, then the potential on a V-8 would be even greater. Some daring Mustang racers dabbled in turbos for the better part of the 1990s with some successes. The community, however, took a big step into that world in the early 2000s and the drag racing landscape has never been the same since that evolutionary era.

One of the early pioneers of a turbocharged combination was “Bad Brad” Brand, or Triple B as some call him, of Atlanta Chassis Dyno. He quickly worked his way through the small-tire ranks of NMRA and the former Fun Ford Weekend series with a 1993 Mustang LX notchback. First with a supercharged engine, Brand began knocking down low 8-second runs on true 10.5-inch slicks in 1999. The accomplished tuner and car builder would take a major leap when he ditched the blower in favor of a turbocharger in 2000.

It isn’t a dyno queen, it is a cruiser! Brad Brand’s racing accomplishments prove that if he wanted a race car then he would just build another one.

A fortified Tremec six-speed transmission ensures Brand’s street car is fun, because throwing an automatic into the Cobra would just send him down the road of a 7-second race car.

“I was tired of the blower belts,” recalled Brand. Racing applications in the early years relied on cogged belt drives instead of today’s more efficient and effective gear-drive units. He continued, “It drove me insane when the belt would break in the middle of a run.” He added a single turbo that measured 101mm and he never looked back.

By the early 2000s, the black coupe transitioned into Outlaw 10.5 trim with a back-half chassis. Armed with a stroked Windsor engine that wore a set of Trick Flow High Port cylinder heads, Brand rowed the gears of a Liberty Equalizer five-speed clutchless transmission and applied the power to a set of 33×10.5W tires. He had epic battles against the likes of Tim Lynch, Billy Glidden, and many others as the fight for Outlaw 10.5 supremacy was contested nearly weekly at dragstrips across the Southeast.

Brand ultimately became the first person to run 200 mph in Outlaw 10.5, a mark that wouldn’t be touched for over a year. He was the king of speed and blazed a trail for many to follow with turbochargers.

Brand’s semi-professional drag racing career brought him to Pro Modified drag racing, once again setting the standard on Mickey Thompson 10.5W tires. Like the 200 mph mark, Brand became the first racer to run a 5-second elapsed time on 10.5W tires. He has had a been-there, done-that kind of racing career and Brand stepped away from the sport to concentrate on family and business.

The itch, however, for cool and fast cars never faded from Georgia-resident. “I have always had fast street cars and I wanted to build something to go fast but drive it to work during the week,” Brand shared. His latest whip, a 1993 SVT Cobra, could be one of the wildest street cars we’ve come across as it mixes cutting-edge racecar technology in a street car that looks stock.

The clean Fox-body era Cobra doesn’t look like much from the outside, a set of polished wheels and flawless factory paint indicate it is a well-loved classic Mustang. One peek under the hood, however, and the entire story dramatically changes.  “I took what I learned in racing and applied it to this car,” explained Brand of his twin turbocharged 302.

That’s 1,500rwhp staring back at you. On pump gas Brand’s 368ci powerplant still cranks out 900-1,000rwhp at just 15 psi of boost.

The result is a Cobra that pegs the dyno at his Atlanta Chassis Dyno shop at 1,500rwhp with the engine seeing 32-33 psi of boost and consuming a large volume of VP Racing Fuels Q16 gasoline. On the pump gas tune, Brand said the car still cranks out 900-1,000rwhp at 15 psi. All the dyno results are through a Tremec Magnum XL six-speed that was highly modified by American Powertrain and a custom RAM triple-disc clutch.

He rattled off a list of tricks employed in the Cobra with the electronic controls being at the top of it. Using a Big Stuff 3 engine management system, the Cobra benefits from a traction control strategy that was derived from his 4,000hp Pro Mod on 10.5s. Without it, the 1,500rwhp combination can destroy the Nitto 555R drag radials—in fourth gear! The Big Stuff 3 also maintains control over the three 450lph fuel pumps. A primary 450lph pump feeds fuel to the engine under normal driving conditions and Brand has the other two pumps coming on-line as the boost increases.

The engine itself is relatively mild as it displaces 368ci thanks to an 8.2-inch deck block that has 4.125-inch bores and a billet crankshaft with a 3.450-inch stroke. The AFR 185 cylinder heads help keep the torque high and the boost coming quickly thanks to the smaller ports. The head gaskets are copper and Brand added O-ring grooves to the block and cylinder heads, another racecar trick to keep the cylinder pressure from pushing the gaskets out. The camshaft is an aggressive solid-roller stick, but he uses a set of hydraulic roller lifters to keep maintenance to a minimum.

A pair of Precision Turbo 62mm turbochargers feed air into a custom air-to-air intercooler. It cranks out 15 psi when Brand drives the car on the street and utilizes pump gas. Things get exciting when the race fuel is mixed into the fuel tank and the boost is increased to 33 psi.

He often gets asked the question of what will it run? He hasn’t had the Cobra on track with the new twin turbo setup. But he managed to push the older combination, which made 1,000rwhp, as quick as 10.00 at 157 mph. Though he has resisted putting in an automatic for fear of escalating the daily driver into a race car as he tends to lose self-control when it comes to drag racing. He concluded, “If I wanted another race car, then I’d build one. I just want a street car, so I am going to keep the stick in it.” That is not to say Brand isn’t considering jumping back into the drag racing world, he just doesn’t want to cut up his street car to do so.

Despite the street car status, Brand did hint that he might get out to the NMRA World Finals and make some runs in the Tremec Stick Shift Shootout just to see how quick he could run. But for now, if you run into a Cobra in the Georgia area, just wave hello to a turbocharged legend and know that there is over 20 years of record-breaking experience hidden under the sheetmetal.
