Max power supra

For no particular reason was browsing through the MP site.A Supra on there is claiming,on stock twins,500bhp,top speed 190mph and 0-60 in 3 secs.I must be doing something wrong somewhere.To accurate;480 on the engine plus another 100 with NOS-580bhp.Wistful.

link?

Might see 190 down hill with the wind at your back with stock tubbys & no NOS. Will take some time to get there though. Won't be 500hp unless its 400+100shot.

0-60 in 3 seconds is do-able though. TDR was around that time IIRC.

I very much doubt a MP car will be managing 3 sec 60's though. It takes a fairly specific spec to manage that.

I'm sure when I bought Brian's supra aka tDR, that they worked out numbers to be 2.9sec's?? There was a post about it somewhere

I'm sure he'll be along to point out if I'm wrong

Dek.

Won't be an exact science but it will certainly be around that to trap those times and speeds.

Yeah not a exact science, I can't mind how they worked it out?? Think it was more a pub talk ammo thing

2.95 secs - was a drag calculator thing on the Suprapod 2k8 thread. My 60ft time on the timeslip on the fastest run was 1.64 seconds so in my mind it adds up!

Was a few of us with very similar calculated 0-60MPH times from that Suprapod but other than me they were 600bhp+, the secret was (is!) how quickly I could get off the line and keep going because of the very specific drivetrain parts chosen and fitted along with the mapping to make the most of it all.

I thought a stock TT has a top speed of 180mph? Admit it might be slower getting there when getting past 160mph (That's as quick as I've got her without freaking out).

Again a stock TT MIGHT hit 180 but again, it would need one hell of a runway and a bit of a gust from behind

There is a bit of a difference between stock TT and stock twins though. Stock TT would tell me no mods, stock twins just tells me there aren't any turbo mods

170mph uk standard 6 speed supra flat out.190mph cant see full bpu getting to that speed without wind and downhill. i have ran out of road at 177mph but to be honest speed was starting to slow up 185 i recon would be max bpu top speed

I got 145mph (on the GPS) in 4th gear, but lost my nerve... mine was 450bhp on hybrid twins (before Ryan did a real map)....

mate 4th gear wont get you any were near 145mph/ 4th is in the red at 125mph/ 5th gear red line will take you to 154/162 depending on rev limiter 6800/7200

Go to http://www.maxpower.co.uk.Click on cars,then click search cars.Go to Toyota;page 3 i think.Silver Supra with a black bonnet.

Where are you getting your information from?

From what I read in the above link he claims 4.8 seconds to 60. This is very possible in a stock setup with the right driver so I don't see those claims as so wild. 300km/h seems like a very round figure, it would tell me that it is a forum figure and not an actual achieved figure by the person in question. 186mph is certainly possible IMO. The main bit of bullshit is the 500hp claim. That might be down to misinformation, afterall a member on here is convinced he has over 450hp from stock twins without the fuel to make this possible. 400hp is the round figure that most of us will quote.

The link posted by Smarty is not the car i mentioned.If you follow my thread on MP;its a silver Supra with a black bonnet.

Well just post a link then, it will be so much easier!

lol, that'll be why then.

That'll be the one I guess then?

Might have seen 480 on certain dyno's, would take the figure with a pinch of salt though. The 0-60 of 3 seconds is unlikely, it isn't impossible though.

He properly has a auto supra.

Who claims to have 450 out of stock twins?

Nigel, it's actually more than 450. Check his garage out

GrahamC ran a respectable 451 (On an often quoted SRR)

Not on hybrids? Thought Homer had the record on stocks with 430? Saying that I seem to recall his record being beat by 1 or 2hp, don't recall a 450 being scored?
