Guest Flat4_ire Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Answer this truthfully.....have you ever had a race with a supra??? haha no man i havent, but i would very confident of one with a relatively standard supra, and a proper drag, a rolling start would be a differnt story altogether yes, the sti type r i have is really a "launchy, rip thru the gears 0-80mph type car", and i love the handling, but in real life when do u ever get to do proper drag races?? and im not really into street races, dont have to prove anything..kinda grow out of that stage,its normally the guys with the less powerful cars who want to race anyway!! anyway,only thing that i dont really like about the supra is rwd and its weight, but cant have it every way i guess..id say a mildly tuned 400bhp supra pulls wickedly to 170mph!

Guest Flat4_ire Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Take a look Mate http://www.fatkidracing.com/videos/saad9222.wmv haha sweet man, i know what they are capable of but that supra has a minimum of 950bhp-1100bhp i bet and anti lag and probably a traction/launch control system fitted! u guys havent got to try convince me really, i know im gonna get one anyway but feel free to tell me ur stories, i know they are great cars for easily taking high horsepower and the standard getrag g.box can take like 600bhp? thats serious stuff, thats why im selling the scooby to be honest, 400bhp scoob is a bit more awkward to get than 400bhp supra, its all about reliabily at the end of the day too ya know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flat4_ire Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 whatever i get anyway it will be run on 100ron fuel so that shouldnt be a problem, would like to have her at round 400bhp anyway, is it safe to fully decat the exhaust without an ecu remap? not as up on the supras as i am with scoobs, standard boost seems low enough for a 3ltr TT..wanted to know is 400bhp achievable with standard injectors,intercooler etc?? it will be jap spec by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 400bhp is achievable without a remap, you just need to make sure the stock fuel system can cope - i.e. renew the fuel pump with an uprated one, as a safety measure and the spark plugs are suitable etc...

Guest Flat4_ire Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Welcome thanx man. 22 from southern Ireland anyway, currently selling my sti type r to see what these supras are like!! so dont give me no stick about being a paddy ok??

Clarkey Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 is it safe to fully decat the exhaust without an ecu remap? wanted to know is 400bhp achievable with standard injectors,intercooler etc?? Yes & Yes. Do a search for decat or BPU. You'll need additional mods for BPU/Decat however. Fuel Cut Defender. Walbro Pump (Your JSpec one will no doubt be tired. And you don't want to risk your AFRs going 16,17's on 17psi WOT) Decent plugs ... I use denso IK24's Decent unrestrictive exhaust. Restrictor Ring Decat pipes Boost gauge With 440 injectors .. not sure what the duty cycle will be at full boost - if it's too high .. and you get det .. an Aero FPR I think will be needed. And make sure the SMIC is in good nick. Can't think of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I think that pretty well sums it up. Most of the mods are actually just safety measures to ensure the car stays reliable and doesn't self destruct. The decat + restrictor and cat back exhaust, with the FCD and spark plugs should transform the car Edit: Standard ECU is not remappable. Typically a piggy back ECU (e.g. Greddy Emanage) is added to allow remapping, or a more costly stand alone like an AEM or Motec if you want to go all the way in the future...

Clarkey Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I would think your first upgrade should UK brakes - front/rear. J-Spec brakes are not great. Going faaaast is great! But you've also got to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Clarkey has a point, although I have gone BPU before the brake upgrade. It probably depends how you drive and the condition of the brakes on the car. J-sepc brakes in good condition stop the car fine, but if you're using them a lot (say around a country lane or round the track) then at some point I expect they will fade/loose their bite, which won't be good. Anyway after fitting my fuel pump, brakes is next on the list (or is it RLTC? lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
