it was most probbaly an earlier model automatic turbo. in many cases straight line speed supras destroy all. line up a 97 TT 2JZ with 6 speed manual and someone not so fully sik and stupid either and they are bound to win.

Given your budget & intended use for the car a mildly modified WRX would be more than adequate; or a GTS-4 with nitrous :laugh: ...just don't be blowing the welds off the intake :D

Also, as the joke goes whats the difference between a 300kw Supra & a 600kw one??...Nothing they're still both 11sec cars :)

Nigel from ICE (in Melbourne) always tuned his Supra (orange one with black bonnet) to/from about those figures, one for the dyno pull, the other for the track as from what i understand it made little or no difference to his times.

A guy on ls1.com.au was telling us stories about his IS with just under 1000hp from a 2JZ.

Might see if I can throw you a link or two.

EDIT: here's the links

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
