Guest turbomart Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 European models = 3000 gt which are all twin turbo's and 4wd 4ws Jap models = GTO twin turbo 4wd 4ws ....GTO NA either manual or automatic but are all 4wd US = VR4 twin turbo and 3000gt with some 3000gt's being front wheel drive but no automatics 1.Turbos can easily be changed with engine in situe. 2. Handling.... mine has been lowered by 30mm but still retain the standard adjustable shocks and on a track its right up there with skylines / scooby's etc and can be made even better going to coil overs. 3. Power wise, mine is a GTO TT which out of the box is supposed to have in the region of 280 bhp but in reality nearer 300bhp ...mine with just exhaust, filter and EBC @ 0.8 kgcm2 made 377 bhp and 362 lbft .....not bad for the tiny standard 9b turbos 4. Weak engine ??? ... in the states Matt Monet ran a 9sec 1/4 mile using a 'standard' bottom end!! .. something like 800 AWHP Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 My son's doing a ground up rebuild on his gto at the moment. Running 13t turbos, cormex transfer box (very weak point), JIC coilovers, binned the rear steer, & getting rid of everything he can to reduce weight. Should be good for around 550bhp with fueling controlled by the maft-pro ecu which quite a few of the gto lads use. I've driven it when it was stock, didn't handle too badly but a bit slow because of the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee from China Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 :offtopic:Err, why are discussions regarding a non Supra in Supra Chat? Surely this should be in Off Topic no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Had one in between my supras and wouldnt have one again, build quality was crap, interior was falling apart, handling wasnt that great on stock set up. And a new fog light cost me over £200 from Mitsubishi !! Think they look ok but thats where it ends imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi, I just came accross this thread My last car was a lightly modified JDM GTO TT MR. I had it for 18 months and it had a few problems, nothing major. engines are strong, handling is good with a bit of tweaking. The MR is about 100kg lighter than a standard one. it made 327bhp ATF. I have to say after a bit, it does feel like your driving a mondeo Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
