AgtX80 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Please clear this up for me once & for all. Are all supras 325bhp Jap or UK...or are some actually 280bhp as declared on the official stats? Im hearing that the UK cars had bigger turbos & stuff.

jamesmark Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The 280bhp is a myth, UK spec was billed at 326bhp and J-Spec TT's have about 300-320. The 280bhp limit was a so called gentlemans agreement between all the major Japanese car companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 UK turbos are slightly smaller I thought. Just steel instead of ceramic, so they spool marginally later. Give or take, UK and Japanese models are about the same in terms of power. The gentleman's agreement is what causes most of the cars on GT4 to be registered as 276bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgtX80 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Point taken. I must have short term memory loss. Im guessing the ceramic turbos are also weaker. Many people had primary turbo failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
