dr_blackman Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 lol you can never have enough power I can sense Gaz's bank manager having a heart attack lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The more power you try to extract at the top end...the more you lose down low, your choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yes. To have both you'd need more CC's. Drop in a TT LS7 7.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Id say Gaz your next stage would have to be a 3.4 stroker kit. So you have the high power whilst keeping some low down grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yes. To have both you'd need more CC's. Drop in a TT LS7 7.0 ahhh would it fit though:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ahhh would it fit though:D Oh yes, the LS7 is about 2/3rds the size of a 2JZ. Cheap too, alledgedly they are about £7k fully dressed, very light and very strong. Thing is, would you really get to use 700bhp? You'd probably find unless you are on a motorway your current set up will be quicker point to point, unless you do some mega chassis mods. Imo it's telling that the Blitz NRing Supra ran in low boost (about 600ps) for it's Ring challenge when they could have had the full 750ps, and that had a British GT driver for testing and a Ring regular for the hotlaps themselves.

suprafan72 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 500 to 700 does make a big difference top end.. but like alex says forget low end power.. A standard TT would P!ss all over you off the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 No more power Gaz! Your car is a beast mate and clearly the GT4088 is giving you the best of both worlds, why change it? You could always for a shot tank of NOS for a bit more grunt alike JamieP. Of course, a 3.4L stroker kit with NOS and the existing GT4088 would surely be a beast!

Ark Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Talk to Cowboy Bebop about getting a v8 TT6 done. Bit of waste mucking about with 0.4 litres extra when you can get a manly 4.8 crammed in there. You know you want to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I've heard reports that it's not actually that impressive and despite good torque lacks real power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Dont sacrifice spool for more power as imo you will be dissapointed with the drivability, Nos is the way forward, love it on mine, turns it into an animal at the change of a couple jets:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... the 2UZ he uses is the cast iron one....which weighs a tonne. Personally I'd advise going for an all ally block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ok from tt to bpu i noticed the power gain straight away:d then onto hybrids i noticed a bit more:D now i have gone single and jeez what a difference it is now, she is sorted at 520 bhp:cool: now question is how much more noticeable would it be at lets say 700bhp:eyebrows: i can feel the urge:D Gaz, have you ever timed it with an accelerometer?

letmeshowyou Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Get it round a track Gaz, i bet it isn't a lot quicker than a well set up BPU car it's certainly not alot quicker DOWN a track than one (sorry Gaz, couldn't resist!) Personally I reckon the stroker would be good if you've got the reddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
