Thorin Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Also the only other petrol cars that I can think of to use sequential turbocharging are the RX7 and Porsche 959. Subaru Legacy B12, and the new BMW TT's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 the name 'SUPRA' is enough!!! how badly would super car makers want the name supra! think about it. honestly over that, you can buy a supra for £10k, mint one, spend another £20k on it and it will wipe its ass all over a brand new £150k ferrari!!!

bolarbag Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) A J-spec TT6 was around £21k brand new in 2000 That is a lot of car for the money honestly over that, you can buy a supra for £10k, mint one, spend another £20k on it and it will wipe its ass all over a brand new £150k ferrari!!! And then sell it for 10K again whoohoo! Subaru Legacy B12, and the new BMW TT's? Dont know about the legacy's but the BMW TT's(335i M-sports s e.t.c) are parallel in operation Edited June 9, 2008 by bolarbag (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 the BMW TT's(M3's e.t.c) are parallel in operation M3s have turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 M3s have turbos? I don't know, have you had a look under the bonnet? I seem to recall people have had problems locating turbo's I was referring to the 335 or 535 specifically, I just seem to remember hearing someone saying they were sequential. The Legacy B12 was definately sequential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I was referring to the 335 or 535 specifically, I just seem to remember hearing someone saying they were sequential. The Legacy B12 was definately sequential. My 535d is sequential (small and large turbo). Not sure how their petrol TT's work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Doesn't the supra have the same offset/stud pattern on the wheels as a ford probe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tones Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Confused much? the opposite of supras dude, Supra have sequential setup, skyline TT run in parallel like a lot of other TT machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 the opposite of supras dude, Supra have sequential setup, skyline TT run in parallel like a lot of other TT machines I know I've never heard of an M3 twin turbo at all though, regardless of the way the turbos are configured.

Tones Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I know I've never heard of an M3 twin turbo at all though, regardless of the way the turbos are configured. Probably a few in germany and america id imagine, they would throw turbos on anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Any idea on the N/A? 3,191,000 Yen for a manual SZ, 3,291,000 for an auto - no idea what year that was, post facelift though. At the exchange rate today that works out to be £15,211.65 & £15,686.24 but I have no idea what it would have been back then. For comparison the price list I'm looking at has the most expensive car, an RZ manual, as being 4,721,000 Yen or £22,493.11 Edited June 9, 2008 by michael (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
