supramkivcork Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Haven't been in a single supra yet, but I drove a single nur spec r34 skyline t04z . Amazing experience it was turned down to 1.5 bar when I drove it, makes about 550-570bhp at that if I remember correctly. My own car felt like a shopping trolley after driving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wouldn't say a single is 'hassle'... it's more like an emotional journey from BPU to single but the first time you hit the fast pedal my word it's a buzz and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 its the waste gate that makes that jet take off like sound. Wategates are actually very quite, the loud screaming sound would be the Screamer pipe (Im assuming it just exits back out to atmosphere rather than back through the exhaust).

adnanshah247 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 yeah i know that but completly for a minute forgot about the screamer pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not, the wastegate makes all the noise, the screamer pipe just points the hot air away from anything it might melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I reckon someone who has never been in one should definitely prop a camera up before the run and film their reactions. I'll volunteer! I think I'd scream like a girl though. I'd love to have a passenger ride in a BPU or single turbo supra one day. I own an NA, so I rarely go above 60mph. *note to self: must go to more meets * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 - single turbos are a different experience altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) No its not, the wastegate makes all the noise, the screamer pipe just points the hot air away from anything it might melt. The noise is created when the exhaust gas exits the wastegate via the Screamer pipe and dumped into the atmosphere hence the name 'Screamer', in the same way, its the exhaust system (Blitz, RSR, Boost logic) that makes all the noise and not the exhaust manifold.

Abz Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So that was you Adnan? I believe a friend might have seen you flying past! He commented that I should sell my TT Supe because their must be something wrong with it! lol, He was in a Black S3 At least I can now tell him it was a single!

DARETT Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Single Supra's are awesome, but don't discount a single RX7. Driven a T51R RX7 and it is a completely different driving experience as well, felt more savage due to the driver positioning, however actual results were pretty close, with the Supe just edging it at the Top. Having experienced over 500hp in a Subaru/Skyline/RX7/ and now a Supra, I can safely say the Supra is the most comfortable and least scary out of all of them, however top end it probably is the quickest.

You said Wategates are actually very quite I assume you mean quiet? If you take the screamer pipe off they sound almost the same, so the are not "actually very quite":d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_A Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Never been in a single Sup before, hoping to maybe get a passenger ride in John's (Hodge) or Jay's (jevansio) some day I have however been privelaged enough to be a passenger in Jurgen's old single RX-7 and f*** me that was something special!

martini Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I can't wait* to go single (*waiting due to financial reasons) Single Supra's are awesome, but don't discount a single RX7. Yup, we've all seen The Fast and the Furious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
