 I do appreciate you sharing the information that you have available though.For me, until I see something about this "gentleman's agreement" in writing, I'm going to assume that Japanese-spec Mkiv Supra Turbos were originally advertised within Japan at 276hp. I really can't see any government-related agency going in and installing new parts to de-tune used cars, and then running them on the dyno to verify they haven't screwed them up and that the de-tuning was actually successful. I see this scenario as completely impractical, since a used Supra is a crap-shoot - poorly maintained and driven the heck out of, all the hoses and electrical connectors might be so hard they crack whenever something new is installed. There'd be a VERY unpredictable amount of labor and inconvienience in obtaining new oem hoses, electrical connectors, etc. in doing this work. *shrug*

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners. Last edited by pwpanas; 10-23-2010 at 10:46 PM. |
