honda-hardy to supra-sam 3.0i turbo mk3

Post by honda-hardy » Fri Mar 11, 2016 9:42 pm

some of you know that i have moved away from preludes since moving house and having to sell my type S, i then bought a crx

http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/non-lud ... 17896.html


i have sold the crx now and with the proceeds i have bought a 3.0i litre turbocharged supra.

spec

3.0i straight six 7m-gte turbocharged engine 244bhp with re-boost valve as apposed to a dump valve.
jdm digital dash conversion.
jdm rear light cluster conversion
cream leather jdm seats with original door cards dyed to match.
internal and external boot popper solenoid conversion.
ford satnav install with alpine cd changer and bass tube
225/50 16 goodyear f1 tyres fitted to momo arrows.
voltage gauge
electrical aerial retract button.
audible warning bongs and seatbelt warning isolating switch.

The electronic dash is from a Japanese market supra and only made for right hand drive cars. The dash was never installed in America or left hand drive. The original dash uses analog dials. To install the dash was a huge task. For example, for the fuel gauge to work, the electrical resistance in the fuel tank sender unit was measured and plotted on a graph taking into account that the fuel in tank has different volumes percentages at different levels inside the tank due to its shape. The signals from the sender were calculated and he created a module behind the dash to illuminate a segment at a time depending on the signals from the unit in the tank.

Also the speed on jap cars is measured in kph. However the dash has been converted to read mph. The speedo on the dash with the dials is motor driven, as the speed sensor on a drive shaft rotates the rotational signals are converted to a voltage this then drives the dial to read the speed on the dash. However the digital version doesn't have the motor, so again a module had been created to convert the motor voltage to switch the speed up and down.

the harness and module assembly is now plug and play too, so if i wanted the dials to be reinstated then all i would have to do is unplug it and all the tech goes with it, this is the only known non jap market car fitted with this dash with mph working. There is one other in Australia but this is kph

It's not a lude, but, none the less a serious car, and very smart looking indeed - nice one

Sure this must be fast and I like it but not as much as your CRX or the Prelude..

It looks in amazing condition. Surely an excellent buy 8-)
What the heck made the previous owner sell up? :shock:


Intrigued to see how fast these are. I love em anyway, but I remember from japshow at the pod last year, there were several of the late model supra's going up the strip throughout the day and they were not quick...

Didn't realise these had so much going on with the dash, definitely funky looking!
