I owned a 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo Type R before my Skyline. I took it to a few performance places where they told me not to bother wasting my money on trying to make it go fast.

Then I see in HPI Supras like this with 500hp doing 10sec 1/4's, is it just that the guys here don't know what there doing. All they seem to like working on is SR20's and RB's.

I think that Supras are awesome cars, in terms of both looks and performance. Good luck with the new Supra forum Boostzor, hope it is sucessful.

See'ya

:burnout:

M8 i pull a 14.3 1/4 with only zorst and filter i wouldnt exactly call that 'slow'. The only thing that lets em down is the weight, they make more stock than the 'line ever will (cept for R) and the susp aint so great but they have kikass gearboxes.

Hi Boostzor,

Ignore Hicks, he's just jealous cause the only thing he can drag off is mum doing the shopping in the commodore.

The supra was a manual, had an awesome amount of power and torque for a relatively factory car. I don't want to name names, as I know them reasonably well, but they played around with them before and couldn't get any reasonable power out of one, even with a bigger turbo etc.

The japs must know a trick or two that us Aussies don't.

I didn't think the suspension was that bad, but I think the Type R's had stiffer suspension that the normal models.

See'ya

The single turbo was much better seeing as it had vvti and all. I reckon it would be easier to make power out of, too bad they are almost impossible to find it was hard enuff to find a manual tt to begin with. The nissans are just a little more basic i reckon and it makes em easier to work with " air goes in, gas comes out" plus the supra just looks soo bling bling :(

Hicks: Having a good time with photoshop i see.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...
