Guest calibrat Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi people, Ive recently broke my nissan skyline running a nice 600bhp. im looking for a replacement car, ive always wanted a supra the 6-speed twin turbo What kinda performance is possible on stock engine mods, or just basic mods, i found my GTST hard to control in the wet and that resorted to front end damage :'( Any advise is appreciated Im stuck between buying a GTR or Supra twin turbo!

safcdixon Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Theirs quite a few supras on here ran massive power through a stock engine, Twin turbo bpu should see 400 to 450bhp, which is basically a full exhuast system, decats, a bigger fuel pump and a fcd a mornings work basically Welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest calibrat Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Take a look in the classifeids theres been a few single turbos up lately whats your budget? between 10 and 12 not sure what that would get me in terms of performance :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 haha taxi :o? I would like to have 600ish without having to spend to much :-) There's a few single turbo supras going for decent prices in the classifieds, pay £10 membership fee and browse the classifieds.... Well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 haha taxi :o? I would like to have 600ish without having to spend to much :-) 600hp out of a Supra TT will be expensive. You will be much better off spending £15k (or less if you're lucky) on a pre built 600hp single turbo car, that has been built by someone who knows what they're doing.

letmeshowyou Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 i was a member of the clubcalibra, was no more then 250brake with a nice 6 speed box Got rid of mine in 04 with a view to getting a fairlady, but a Supra came along. I was just fed up of something being broken every other weekend. Still miss it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 i found my GTST hard to control in the wet and that resorted to front end damage :'( No offence mate but if you found a gtst lively in the wet a supra probably isn't for you. A stock TT can be a handful, to drive a 600bhp one you'd want to be very much awake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That budget should find a singled car with a Syvecs I would have thought (and the traction control gets rave reviews!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much agree with this, I'd say get a GTR if I where you if you don't mind a R33or R32 there's a few good GTR's for sale I've seen around the 12k mark with between 550-600bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
