Biggenz Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 A couple of us in the Surrey area have 550-600bhp Fiat Coupes and would love to attend a Supra meet in the area if we're welcome. It would be interesting to see how we compare to a high powered Supra, seeing as my car makes around 450bhp per ton. I know there will be a few 1000bhp+ cars, which is obviously in another league, but it would be nice to see some other fast cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Not sure how many 500+ supras around this end. How do you get 600bhp from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I am being nice, im just wondering how they get that kind of power from a 2ltr lump is all. The only way i can see is a different engine or forged everything and a massive turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 They have been about for a bit, plenty of time to work out how to boost the hell out of them. They weigh about as much as a slipper so I bet they are crazy quick. FWD is nuts with that much power. I bet they are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah, that kind of power from a FIAT is insane. Surely they are just waiting to explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggenz Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Contrary to all the 'Fiat' remarks about being unreliable and blowing up, Coupe tuning has come a long way in the last couple of years. The top tuner in the UK, Barbz from Torque Italia, has build some amazing engines. There are currently 3 Coupes running close to 600bhp in the UK. A 2l, 2.4l and 2.5l. The 2.4l and 2.5l makes the power with relatively low boost at 1.8bar. I wanted to keep the 2l platform as it's a shorter stroke engine and can run more boost. I'm currently running a Precision Turbo 6262 @ 2bar and it's deceptively quick. All the engines in these 3 cars are fully forged, but the rest of the components are stock!! Mine is running stock cams, stock head gasket, stock head bolts, stock manifold, stock block etc. It goes to show how good these engines actually are.

Modest as ever JP For the record I thought you kept all your Youtube shenanigans to strictly 60/70mph.................. Normally 60/70mph over the speed limit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just a bit of leg pulling, If you are interested in Supras get along to a meet, if you are just looking for a street race id say you are out of luck. I dont have an adjustable boost controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I would race this before JP if I was you mate http://www.google.co.uk/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/nasafact/ec88-0197-1.jpg&sa=X&ei=MZ14T_fHDcSq0QW4nJ2gDQ&ved=0CAsQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNEOn2qb1STr3ksJt9eSZgCfHfCB0Q The basic principle is still the same.

I dont have an adjustable boost controller. I've always been interested in Supra's and with the money I've spent on my car, I could have bought a pretty good single. Although I guess to get to your car's power level would probably cost a fair bit more. Haha. We're not just looking for a race btw, but we do go out late at night over weekends when the roads are clear to have some fun. I'm sure there must be some of you guys doing the same thing?
