Default Single Turbo Supra

Well, one of my buddies did a single turbo conversion on his supra, so I had to ride in it. It has quite a bit of lag, but man, when that thing spools up, it pulls HAAARRDDD!!!

Anyway, so we decided we needed to find out how hard it pulled on me. We went from about 20mph or so (his advantage) but he gave me the jump (my advantage). I pulled real hard on him till his turbo spooled up then he started coming real hard I had him till a little over 100mph (108mph or so)then he caught me and sucked my doors off my car. We went again from about 35mph or so and left at the same time and I pulled at first, then he caught me at about 80mph or so.

He's only running 15psi on his T78 right now because he's still on the stock fuel system. After he changes that out and puts on his two-step, he's going to kick my ass real bad Guess it's time for heads/cam/nitrous

Awesome car though...

Oh I left some things out...

We had a couple goes on the highway (from about 55 or so). He kicked my ass real bad there. Oh, and you gotta love the sound of that turbo/bov. ssssSSSSHHHHHH BOV>.........ssssSSSSSHHHH!!!! Awesome

He's driving around on 275 Nitto drag radials so he doesn't lose it when the turbo comes on

Cool

Have you seen that video where the Lexus blows past the Viper and the two RX-7's ??

I just happened to run into, or walk into rather the shop where that engine that was in the lexus is now . . . anyway they had a silver supra there and claimed it put down 836!!! HP before it would lose traction on the dyno . . . hmmmm makes you wonder.

That was a single turbo w/direct port ntrous Supra = Very Fast
