Guest RWD-passion Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hello people just got my supra today a friend of mine advised me to check out this site AND WHAT A GREAT SITE!!! Anyway... just got my supra and just wanting some facts and figures really already got HUGE plans im going to run a single turbo set up I have a budget of 30-50k (perks of a well paid job ) well knowing that all the owners club sites have some great minds and some mechanical know-how just looking for advise to create another beast!! Model : J-Spec Toyota supra 3.0 twin turbo RZ 6spd (now the guy I bought it off said he has a new clutch put on but to be honest with you guys I felt it slipping on the ride back home) totally stock.

L18msy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 welcome and where are the pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 If you're planning on going single you would likely want to upgrade the clutch in any case. £50k budget? Easily done within that...have a look at Geo / JamieP's build thread to give you an idea of what's required etc EDIT: Welcome btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Welcome to the club! We love pictures around here, get some up! Good choice on the Supra, and with a budget like that, you've got me all excited! Like previously stated, check the project forum, namely the like of Jamie P's Supra to get a base idea on an excellent single project. Welcome to the club!

j1mb0b1 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Wow 50K budget you will have one top supra with that, Take a look at JamieP's build thread, He has one of the best single turbo setups around and with 50K to spend you will get the same http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=156303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 With 50k could we see a 1000+ motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasize Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Welcome dude! Enjoy the site/ forum, make the search button your new best friend, and if your still unsure ask ask and ask, everyone is very helpful and knowledgable. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mb0b1 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 With 50k could we see a 1000+ motor? I think we could but would be far to much power for a road going car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 You could easily half that budget and have a fantastic build. Make sure you know 100% what you are after before you spend a single penny though. Welcome to the club, look forward to the project thread.

Ian W Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 With 50k could we see a 1000+ motor? Depends what he's after, I guess. A 1000+hp motor would be useless as a daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RWD-passion Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks for the worm welcome trying to get some pictures up but for some reason its not having none of it (WILL KEEP TRYING!!!) yea ill have a look at these setups you have put forward to me been looking at suprastore in American they do some good packages like a 500hp kit 775 900 and so on for really good prices any thing off with this????

dr_jekyll Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 supra store tend to do alot of xs power stuff that isnt the best, and american sites tend to over quote there horsepower figures, thareare some top end tuners on this site that can give you realistic figure and advise you on quality parts that will be reliable, but with that buget you will be able to have an awsome car built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Doesn't sound right to me. If you're buying quality parts (which is recommended for reliability and longevity) you should be paying a lot more than that.

Kirk Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi and welcome That's a nice budget you have but I must express my concerns for a 1st time owner going direct single. Do you have much driving experience with high powered turbo RWD cars? Supras can and will bite if you overstep line. I'd say get used to the car and how it reacts and handles before you start throwing money at it if your experience is lacking. Suprastore wouldn't be my number 1 choice. I'd either look at mvpmotorsport or whifbitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
