Auto Supra w/Haltech ECU and Custom Interior/Audio

November 23rd, 2009 Comments off

We just finish the build out of our good customer Marc P’s latest Supra. The Supra features a Turbonetics 67mm Turbo, Titan 264 Cams, Haltech Platinum 2000 ECU, and Titan Twin Pump Fuel System with 850cc Injectors, just to mention a few.



Along with the performance parts, Titan’s interior/audio division also had a chance to work on the Supra. We added OEM BMW Imola Leather to the seats and door inserts…



…along with stereo components from Kicker.

The car came out really nice and the Haltech “plug and play” ECU worked like a charm. Here is a video of it starting up. Enjoy

New Precision Wastegate Comparison

November 20th, 2009 Comments off

When Precision released their new 46mm Wastegate (available here), we were asked by our clients to do a side by side comparison with the Tial 44mm (available here), you are probably wondering, why not against the Tial 46mm?? and the reason is because even though Tial makes a 46mm, it is the 44mm that has the same mounting flange as Precision’s therefore if you have a header with that mounting flange already on it the decision would be between the Tial 44mm and the Precision 46mm. Below is the observations we were able to make by taking them apart, and comparing their internals.

Tial is a 44mm Wastegate that comes in a multitude of colors. Precision’s has a bit of a larger valve, 46mm, and it is only available in black. The boxes are the same size and they both come packed with the same foam material that completely protects every part from damage during shipping.



Below are the contents of the boxes the way they come, the clear difference is that the Precision comes with 3 extra springs in the box, that way you have the possibility to replace them without having to make a separate order for them.


As for the hardware, both have the banjo design, but the Precision brings an extra plug in case you don’t use one of the ports of the Wastegate and the Tial doesn’t have this in their hardware.

When side by side they look very similar, however the Precision unit is a bit smaller in height compared to the Tial.


The underside again is the same basic design, however you can see how the valve in the precision is a little bit larger (2mm) than the Tial unit.

Once apart, the precision comes standard with 2 springs, and the seat materials are visibly different, I ‘m not qualified to give a breakdown on the materials, however the structure of the seat itself is the same, and even though is hard to tell from the pictures they both use a 4 Allen key setup to hold the seat to the valve itself.

Internally the main difference is Precision uses a longer sleeve to hold the stem of the valve.

And last but not least the literature. Precision comes with a multi page full color instruction’s manual, Tial half a letter size paper printed in both sides.


Hope this can help you make an educated decision when in the market for a Wastegate.
