[1996slowstang]

Last night I went to watch my brother race this 1987 turboed toyota supra that called out my brother's civic that run's 12.9@112 in the 1/4 mile,The supra is sussposed to have a good little bit of work done to it.So here goes race 1 from a dig on this old country back road that is a little over a 1/4 mile straight away that has no traffic on it,My brother beat this car buy like 10 cars no lie it was bad so what does the guy in the supra do he says I want to race the mustang, So I can't say no, we go from a dig keep in mind I have 3 people in my car and I beat him buy like 4 cars it was great.

nice kill, sounds like it was just stock then, i think they run 15.6 stock, i have a few friends that have 600, and 700 hp supra's but they cant keep them out of the shops

The guy said it had H/C/I ,exhaust and up'ed the boost but I dont no for sure what all he does or doesent have, I just know it was slow.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

It didn't have H/C/I, and he didn't up the boost. Either that or he depends on Wal-Mart to do his tuning for him. Nice kill!!!!

Not true at all, I owned an 87 Supra turbo before my stang. Ran great all the time. With only intake, exhaust, and raised boost to 21psi, my car clicked off mid/low 13 second passes all day on aweful Yokohama street tires.

Also, when it comes to the 2JZ-GTE, it's been proven to handle the most amount of power on a stock shortblock of any engine... roughly 800+hp on a stock shortblock (completely untouched).

Not sure what your saying is "not true at all"....are you referring to them breaking or not running 15s stock?

A stock 87 supra will normally run in the 15s....they can run high 14s with a good drive but that usually doesnt happen.

You cant compare your supra with intake,exhaust and 21 psi to a stock car running 7 psi.

Just the intake and exhaust a lone on a turbo car like a supra is probably worth a shit load of power not to mention the extra 14 psi that should bring your car another like 175 hp or so.

With the mods you listed your car was probably making twice the factory power that an 87 supra comes with

That is crazy, I wish I had money to play with then I could be fast,But that is how it goes the person with the money will be the fastest in the end.

 

[foss_94gt]

ya he lives with his parents and makes a crap load of money lol

 

[justinschmidt1]

a 700 hp car that gets beat on is gonna be a money pit untill every piece of his car is strong enough to handle the abuse

Durability, it shouldn't be in the shop all the time unless owner doesn't do proper maintenance and upkeep on the car. Heck, my car had more mods and alot of boost and still ran fine.

Can't expect a car to run fine if you aren't taking care of it.

That guy was full of shit. Right off the bat, no one has ever even MADE an aftermarket head for a 7M AFAIK. You'd have definitely known if it was cammed, noticeable lope at idle. Intakes don't do a damn thing for a stock turbo, the factory airbox flows as well as most aftermarket setups. Fastest stock car I'm aware of ran a 14.5. Mid 14 to Mid 15 is average, most of those motors are getting pretty beat and they had head gasket issues from the factory.

I've had a BPU+ 88 and an 89 Targa (both turbo cars) with just a catback... 88 could have hit 11s if it hooked and didn't blow up every five minutes (redneck rigging, bought it like that. Fast as balls, real fun, broke every time I drove it lol). 89 would have easily destroyed my 96 GT (auto vert turd) or my buddy's mint 98GT (hardtop 5spd stock 80k)... Most of those cars are driven old-woman style or they break often. Parts are expensive, assuming you can find them, and they're a PITA to repair. However, bolt ons in a MkIII (86.5-92) usually get you 300-320rwhp with 350+ftlbs. If it's a hard top, it'll be decently quick, if it's a targa, it'll still be a mid to high 13s turd. Bolt ons in a MkIV (93-98, jellybean) usually net a little over 400/400. Mid 12s if well driven (rare).

I'd rather go slow, look and sound AMAZING, get decent gas mileage and be able to drive every day than look at my Ford Probe-esque 4000lb paper weight. So I came to the dark side

Btw, there are stock 2JZ-GE-Ts (factory non-turbo motors with turbos bolted on, poorer heads cams different pistons etc) making over 800... Believe the GTE record is around 1200rwhp right now. Last fall a guy named X-Man set the new 7MGTE (87-92 turbo motor) record at ~700rwhp, only mod being a metal head gasket with ARP head studs. That motor was rebuilt a few years ago and has seen at least 50 track passes and numerous street outings since then.

Am I wrong or is the big Supra thing to strap the largest turbo you can on your straight 6 and go run for a dyno number? I mean it's no worse that bolting the loudest exhaust you can to a 15 second Mustang, but, I'm just curious.

lol it funny that u say that cause i make fun of my buddy all the time, there are some fast supra's out there but for the most part alot of them are like my friends car, pretty much stock 720cc injectors 1 huge turbo 3.5 half inch exhaust, and some crazy computer, its got like 700 to the wheels and he get beat on the street my my one buddies buick gs 3.8 supercharged done to the tits, and my other buddies 03 cobra, but race him from a roll and hes goes like there is know tomorrow, once he gets rid of his huge turbo leg his car will be a rocket

You're pretty much right on the money. A lot of guys basically do just that. Some guys build street cars, and build them well, but for the most part they just go for stupid power (which is admittedly pretty easy to get, I'm having trouble adjusting to power/torque numbers from Mustangs lol). Rocket ships from a roll, snails from a dig. Little 3L motor can't really use a 70+mm turbo below third gear.

Race from a roll or go home. Anyone who builds a car to race from a roll is a skill less puss
