Gazboy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 It was said on another site that you could make a Supra do 200mph for 25 large, including the base car. Is this, 200mph after 17 laps of Nardo, or 200mph within 2 miles? Would it do 200mph.... once? Or still be the bomb proof car we all love?

Matt Harwood Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'd say it's do-able. And reliable still, if done properly. And probably achivable withing 2 miles too. Quite a few Supra's achived ~185 over 1.2 miles at TOTB this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Chis ran 184 at TOTB with a 3.266 diff. If he had a diff from an NA auto (4.083) he'd probaby have topped 200. With a TT auto diff (3.769) he'd have had a fighting chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 How much would you say the Supe owes CRD? Have they ever run for more than 1.25 miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 How much would you say the Supe owes CRD? Have they ever run for more than 1.25 miles? I think they say on their website were they were trying to sell it. It's very had to put a figure on what a tuner says they've spent as it wouldn't be a real world price to joe bloggs. 40k springs to mind for some reason though. (Don't know why and I'm probably wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap Scene UK Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Or 16k for mine... im doing 150 in 5th stillpulling with another gear..so i rkn 200 ish is on the cards..of course i did this on a local private road..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Am I being daft with Diff ratios here? Nah I think Digs' dropped the ball was giving him time to notice for himself lol It's the UK Manual Diff that's got the highest top speed....unless you had a 10,000rpm rev limit the others would harm top speed not help it. UK Diff - 3.133 + Autobox = about 231mph...with a stock rev limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 UK Diff - 3.133 + Autobox = about 231mph...with a stock rev limit. Cool. Are there any real world figures for how this affects your acceleration times though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Don't think anyone's tried it Pete...I have a feeling Dude was going to... Basically though if you have the power it won't affect them adversly infact in a drag run you'll change gear less and if your powerband is large enough you'll actually accelerate faster through the 1/4mile and get to a higher top speed...but I'd say once you're into top gear without mammouth torque you won't get to the top speed as fast as a stock geared car.

Ian R Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I dunno but i'd sure like the 25k to put into my Supe and try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Is it a straight swap or are the shafts different? Would the addition of the cooler be an issue too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 there is already a 200mph post somewhere.... Look at that. My GPS was just shy of 200 when i had to back off... i have a TRD diff... not sure if the ratios are hugely different but i was just in front of the red line in 6th and my aftermarket bonnet nearly went for a flying lesson. Oh and make sure your car is on top quality low profile ZR's or they may try to walk off the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 so how much lift is generated at 200mph in a stock-bodied supra? (less or more than a late bodied Mercdes le-Mans car?) How much power is required for 200mph? apologies I am sure these have been answered elsewhere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 How much power is required for 200mph? It was kind of agreed that 500bhp would get you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 yeah I had heard of something like that.... 587 or something... so 650 will be enough then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 It was kind of agreed that 500bhp would get you there Not at Brunters it wont. Let's face it, Nardo is a bit off limits to us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hairy fish Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 wouldnt have thought it would stay on the ground above a gen 180...there are very few things on this planet that do a gen 200 and i have one of them in my garage and go there once every week or so. its shape that matters above 180...big power and torque are needed but shape is the deciding factor,drag multiplies and multiplies above the 180 mark and you have to be in big contact with the ground...everything goes very light and weird at 190...at 200 its an even bigger step,every 10mph feels like another 50..its fun but you have no friends at 200.when you think of it you are going quicker than a 747 is going at take off speed.i agree with neo1 ud have some serious issues with bodywork not wanting to hang around to long when you are aproaching the big 2.
