Gazboy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 How many miles do these super Supras last for? Like the Blitz Nurbergring car/Top secret/Vielside etc? How oftern do they need rebuilds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 They last forever Mine feels like it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I wouldn't expect them to last long mate, especially if driven hard or often. But then again showcars and record-braking creations are narrowly-focused, made for a specific purpose, they are not all-around vehicles like the stock design (there is no reason why a stock supra won't be running strong after 300.000 miles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I was about to say 300K but then realised you meant highly modified engines. Didn't one of dudes last about 2 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I was about to say 300K but then realised you meant highly modified engines. Didn't one of dudes last about 2 weeks? Yeah at 2.4bar!!! Hardly a fair test now is it! Unmodded should last forever, with good servicing. Nothing lasts without good servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think a well designed Supra would last VERY long periiods at upwards of 600HP. Mapped properly, serviced properly, and built with parts well within their design capabilities, there is no reason they should not last ages. Now, when pushing stock engines with signal fudgers etc, then yes, it will nuke itself pretty quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 they last for a long time, i heard they easily do over 100,000 miles if looked after even twice that the supra engine is known to be almost bullet proof . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think a well designed Supra would last VERY long periiods at upwards of 600HP. That's a pretty wild claim. Map and bolt on and fit "uprated" parts all you like but you cannot change certain base engine dimensions like crankpin, piston pin and main bearing length and diameter. All of these are tied in closely with the engine's original power output but they are some of the few things you cannot change. Even if you fit bearings with a higher load capacity you cannot change the oil film properties apart from using different grade oils. They will last a long time, yes, but how many high mileage 600hp+ cars are there in reality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
