Bossco Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm forever scouring ebay but this is the first time I've seen this car. It's had plenty spent on it but nothing to prove it's 1000 BHP. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Monster-Drag-Toyota-Supra-1000-BHP-Spec-/200617385099?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eb5ba5c8b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Turbo looks small for 1000hp IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 3.4 running @ 2.2 bar? Maybe - Scooby Slayer has near that on his 3.4 Alternatively call the people who allegedly did that dyno run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am not sure on the specs but you'd be hard pressed to find another 900-1000bhp car for £28k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 thats been on there for ages if i remember someone on here put a video on the forum of it doing a burnout in the middle of a town.it sounded like it had big bhp but not sure on the 1000bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Turbo looks small for 1000hp IMO. 38GK is 76mm so would be fine for that power. It looks fast in the video, has a decent spec an all, id say its worth that money easy, building one would cost a lot more. Styling is a bit OTT for me but you would certainly get noticed.

It is a bargain to be honest, I would definitely question the power though. I understand that the 38GK is capable of that power, but does that turbo look that size to you Jamie? Might just be the photo putting me off, along with the likes of yourself and a few others putting up pictures of your turbos and they look far bigger.

Id say the turbo is as stated, looks like a T88 to me, have to remember with modern 76mm turbos you can spec them in GT40/GT42 and GT45 size housings, all look vastly different in size but the same wheel inside.

scoooby slayer Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm forever scouring ebay but this is the first time I've seen this car. It's had plenty spent on it but nothing to prove it's 1000 BHP. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Monster-Drag-Toyota-Supra-1000-BHP-Spec-/200617385099?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eb5ba5c8b at the end of the day ozz is a genuine bloke at hja, im sure he would put it on a dyno to show the current power, everyone expects everything for nothing im afraid, i bought mine and had a few issues as a car of this caliber will always have, now sorted and running 875 bhp, not the almost 1000 as it was advertised but it really doesnt matter, as long as all the components are there and genuine thats all anyone can ask. dynos are dead easy to fudge anyways you only need to see a ridiculous high amb temp like a cup of coffee for the probe and the dyno will correct the figure and make it miles higher than it really is, you will know when you drive it if its right.

Judging by some of the builds on here recently the is a world of difference between 800 / 900 and 1000, look at jamie's as a reference.

j_jza80 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It's certainly had a serious amount of money thrown at it. The wheels must have cost circa £4k in those sizes. That fuel system looks a bit of a nightmare tbh. I know the kit isn't for everyone, but if it was made to resemble this: I could definitely live with it Anyone want to buy it for me?

I'm not in the market for it and I'm in no way suggesting the ad or the seller are not honest, but if it's not a 1000bhp then..........................it looks like I'm suggesting the company are not being honest lol Seriously though, I was just wondering if it looked legitimate.

Judging by some of the builds on here recently the is a world of difference between 800 / 900 and 1000, look at jamie's as a reference. weigh up how much your car has cost with buying and modding ? 20k ? can you get your car to this spec with 8k, id highly doubt it. tbh he doesnt need to proove anything its a bargain as it is even if its just 750 hp, theres no gaurantees with a car like this as im sure others will agree it may last ages or not as the case may be, and if you cant accept or afford that then its best not to own a car of this calibre. veyron and maclaren f1 comfortable pace road cars for under £30k is an absolute bargain imo. you will never get a car like jamie ps car for £28k id guess hed want at least double that assuming hed ever sell it which he probably wouldnt, ive tryed to tempt but to no avail last year Edited June 14, 2011 by scoooby slayer (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Brown Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The guy at HJA is a great fella im sure if he says its a 1000 brake then it will be, and if requested im sure he will put it on a dyno to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
