Ime, that would never happen with a bone-"stock" Supra, and I'm pretty sure this has never happend to a "lot of people" (please post those T04R links you're referring to - I know many of those guys, and I can find out more details if necessary). However, if you mod an Mkiv TT up to 'BPU' level or higher, and then try to run 20+psi on pump gas (or run without a boost gauge so you have no idea how much boost you're running), your pistons can melt. The solution to overcome this is to run race fuel when you run high boost. It is NOT a solution to replace the pistons, because high boost on pump gas will destroy any pistons, no matter how expensive they are.

damn. and here i thought a aftermarket piston would hold up a bit better..
i poked around and read a shit load of topics(again.. read all of them ![]() TO4R.COM ok he says what happened. hose of the wastegate popped off. TO4R.COM he didnt say what happend. IMHO. i think it would be something too do with the heat in the desert.. pre ignition. TO4R.COM he ran a bit lean. NOTE: they all had a piston 6 meltdown. not any other. 3 guys. same pistons. different reasons. imho. I think that if i get the fueling right for the #6 piston then it'll be ok once i start modifying it |

33 quicksilver mkivs were imported into the US. I'd guess there were at least as many in the rest of the world outside of Japan, if not a lot more...and probably many dozens if not hundreds within Japan.

The oem smic (side mount intercooler) is quite efficient, and matches the oem twins at stock boost levels quite well. You can pick up about 15-20rwhp using an fmic with the oem twins, but only at bpu+++ on high boost and race fuel.

Where are you importing it from? What company are you using or buying from? I am interested because my brother is looking for a honda from japan a real right hand drive so if your gets here in good time, and is a really good car I would like him to buy from the company you used. I had some one I knew buy a car over seas and it never showed up so I don't want to get a case like that.
