csa Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I's agree with the rest of the "single owners" - anything over 600 crank is overkill for the street (but nice to have on the long lonely straights) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 STRONGER ENGINES THAT THE TT'S What makes you think that? They're not stronger, they're just not put under the same stresses. You aren't seriously trying to say that the NA is better than a turbo are you? It's utterly gutless in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingy Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 over 600 brake is fun but doesn't hook up properly till ur in 4th, but depends how you drive, also u can set ur boost controller up to run high and low boost to help a little , although I have never turned mine down lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 like I have always said....NA shouldn't even be considered a Supra.....Its an embarrassment They're not that bad, but they're definately at the bottom of the Supra ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 My PHR stage 1 with 1.6 bar is nice for street use. I have proper traction with street tires in 3rd gear (condition : outside temp over 15 degrees ... other wise the wheels spin in third) ... with street slicks even in 2nd (condition properly warmed up). My clutch (RPS with flywheel) is nice driving in all conditions. I would not push the power further ... Luxembourg roads are not long enough for more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Will be replacing stock turbos for new stock turbos when it comes to the crunch Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hybrids are pretty good for UK roads, can make low 5s and stil have the sequential option which means boost at bout 2k! Posted via Mobile Device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 is 320bhp not enough for daily use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 is 320bhp not enough for daily use? To be honest, you get used to it. Although I was suprised how sluggish my TT felt when it was completely stock, it wasn't until I got rid of the stock exhaust that it felt properly 'alive'.

pezzler Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 how quickly does a 550bhp sup get to 70? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I was suprised how sluggish my TT felt when it was completely stock, it wasn't until I got rid of the stock exhaust that it felt properly 'alive'. i understand what you're saying; my fiesta poplar plus felt fast back in day, now i drive a 380bhp supra, and that has started to feel the sluggish. im sure a SSC ultimate feels tame to someone! where does it stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 id take a look at wez car, has near on 550+ bhp and torque and spools quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 my fiesta poplar plus I had one of those. red faded to orange all over, windows that rattled when you went above 70, 0-60 if you were lucky, no glove box just a hole in the dash, 1.1 litres of sheer power!

_Shane_ Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 my soup doesnt need a rebuild,car runs perfect but i was told if i was to go single then i better off to do it right with proper parts Was thinking of a hks twin setup. Firstly when i had my car on a dyno it was pushin 480-500bhp but i got put in place here when i said that (even had the dyno graphs) just tells ya that the rollers it was tested on were a joke. Had the car on the rollers twice - dyno dynamics, nick named the Ego breaker in the car scene lol and 397bhp and 430 ft lbs torque, will throw up graph if needed When choosing a turbo kit 1 half of me is saying bigger the better, more braggin rights etc etc and then the other half is saying, quick spooling turbo, lots of fun. the thing that has me struggling to make a decision is the bhp im going to get for the thousands spent on the build e.g full rebuild with a t67 - 550bhp gain of 150bhp for x amount of ££££'s or say 750-800 bhp, gain of almost double for the same price only difference that been the turbo kit i choose to use Will have to have a right think about this before i do anything Be nearly half tempted sometimes to get a flight over to the uk, meet some of ye lot with single conversions and see what i think.... we got no singles where i live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 800bhp would be some daily driver.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraturbochris Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 to be deadly honest, i would love the 550bhp in my supra. My supe is running full bpu + fmic at the moment, but i guess you just get used to the power. Sometimes i say to myself 'corr i need more power', but then one of your mates get in the passenger seat and you plant that right foot and he turns around and says coor your supra is fu**ing quick. That puts the smile back on my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 When choosing a turbo kit 1 half of me is saying bigger the better, more braggin rights etc etc and then the other half is saying, quick spooling turbo, lots of fun. the thing that has me struggling to make a decision is the bhp im going to get for the thousands spent on the build e.g full rebuild with a t67 - 550bhp gain of 150bhp I wouldn't get hung up on big power figures, what I would aim for is useable power, 550-600hp is more than enough on the road. 150hp more than you have now may not seem much, but it will literally feel twice as fast, because of the way the power is delivered. for x amount of ££££'s or say 750-800 bhp, gain of almost double for the same price only difference that been the turbo kit i choose to use A reliable 700-800hp Supra would need a complete engine rebuild with stronger internals, which would end up costing you a LOT more money.
