I own a 1996 Supra SZ N/A, i wana know what bhp it is, its completly standard exept for a cat back exhaust system, if anyone knows let me know please, and a little info on how to get it quicker would be nice, without going down the turbo conversion route ect

I dyno'd mine a month a go and got 204 bhp with the same mods as yours.

 

Not alot you can do to make it quicker in a straight line unless you spend big ££££

 

Strip it, good tyres, alignment, UK brakes will make it more enjoyable and a bit quicker round the twisties.

For extra speed for the NA, ensure your handbrake is fully depressed upon depoarture. Some do appear to suffer from SHS - Sticky Handbrake Syndrome and can of course lose as much as 5 mph. HTH

 

 

 

PS I'd like to know my bhp too.

220 bhp at the flywheel and i would add 8-10 bhp for the exhaust at a guess, these figures will vary from car to car.

As people have said going to a Twin/big single would be you best bet to getting proper power.But you still can have plenty of fun in an N/A and without being embarrassed by other cars.

Originally, yes. I suspect a 13-year old car will have lost an amount of this.

 

Neil's, above. for example, was ~200hp including a cat-back. Not sure what losses are on the Supra over time - 220 down to ~190 (about 13%) is probably pretty typical. Our cars are getting pretty old now :(

nos cheap upgrade thinking off it myself once eng running right

 

Will anyone insure you with a Nos kit fitted though ? i'd look into that 1st and how much it'll hike up your premium, thats if your insurer would actually give you a quote.

 

+ you have the hassel of filling your bottles and from what i gather they dont last long

Yes you are probably right with that, however i was just giving him some original figures and did state that these will vary from car to car.

I would have to be a genius to exactly know what his true bhp is:rolleyes:

Sorry if it sound like iam having a go...just making my point clear, Happy xmas:)

Keep it on the quite?

 

if you do crash with it in, just start drinking it and say that you thought it was the NOS energy drink you can buy :D
