i doubt that im the first to notice but i saw on tony the tiger's profile that it said :

Signature

'94 Toyota Camry V6; old 520WHP *twin GT28R coming soon*
'94 Toyota Supra TT; HKS T51R KAI BB; 737 WHP @ 23 PSI
'01 Lexus IS300 GT4088R; 381 WHP @ 11 PSI
Dynamotorsports.ca

"*twin GT28R coming soon*" sounds way way insane... anyone got the info on this?

Eh I think it's said that for a while. Hopefully he's working on it.

xet · 08-12-2008, 04:01 PM

ya he announced it a good while back but we havent seen any updates yet

Zviator · 08-12-2008, 04:45 PM

Is that a bit too much pushing for the old camry ?

bigbird · 08-12-2008, 04:51 PM

not for tony. thats a fully built engine and tranny. theres so much work into the motor, id be hard pressed to even call that a 1mz anymore.

xet · 08-12-2008, 04:51 PM

^in what way? tony has done a lot of modifications to push the huge numbers with his single turbo and im not 100% sure but i think its going to push less than his single.

bigbird · 08-12-2008, 04:56 PM

yes, he is saying that he may actually have less power but more useable power is what hes after in this case. hes well aware of the uslesness of his massive whp, fwd car. but as he says, he didnt do it cuz it was a good idea, just for the shock value and because he could.

Venom_5 · 08-12-2008, 05:05 PM

he doesnt want power from a twin setup, he wants torque ...

he said something like his goal is to be able to step on the gas while cruising on the highway and do burnouts

Ravie_g · 08-12-2008, 08:58 PM

LMFAO I would so love to see them burnouts on a camry. lmfao i would pay.

lordstarwind · 08-13-2008, 12:49 AM

if he has been tuning on the cam every since he hit 520 id really love to see some updates to see whats going on with it.... im still kindof aspiring to reach for where he was at when he had the ct26 or whatever in it :P

Considering running the GT28R, it's a relatively small turbo compared to others you can get (many tuners happen to have GT30R's or GT35R's which is already somewhat low lag). Though with his motor and tuning, the GT28R will probably be run at a lower boost than his current setup. His power will likely be lower (though this all depends on tuning) but with the low lag of a GT28R and in particular a twin turbo set up, he should be more power torque and useable power earlier in the powerband.

Haven't heard from him for a long time, maybe he'll see this thread and say something.

He probably had to sell his computer to buy the necessary parts for the car XD

lordstarwind · 08-13-2008, 11:37 AM

when he has that much money tied up in cars i seriously doubt he had to sell anything, N35

bigbird · 08-13-2008, 03:16 PM

tony, i think, owns a speed shop. so labor, parts as well as talent is not a big problem for him.
