right just to some this up

 

daily driver = BPU

weekend toy = Single

 

Don't agree, you can use a single Supra as a daily driver just the same as a BPU Supra, they'll both trundle along in traffic and the single Supra should actually give better mpg's when just commuting.

this does depend on what single turbo you have lets say

yeah i've seen it before while i was looking about :)

 

what boost pressure was this done at?

 

and you on totally stock engine internals? Any reliability issues and how long/miles has it been at that power

 

Thanks for your information :)

 

That dyno was done at around 1.3bar.

 

I rebuilt the engine before the instal but it was completely stock internally except for the cams, I did a 10k miles at that power without any issues before the car was stolen. In good working order a stock 2JZGTE has been proven to reliably handle 600+hp on a day to day basis, see Ian C's earlier post as just one example.

All true, although the "trundling along in traffic" depends very much on what clutch you have (for the 6-spd MEN rather than the auto boys... :D ), but only in theory. That's nothing to do with any sort of 'real-world-versus-paper' argument either and all PURELY to do with a point I made earlier: a single Supra is best on boost, so it needs its neck wringing frequently (daily, if you will :eyebrows: ) which drops MPG substantially! :p

Can be EVEN quicker spool (and more power! :p) with a BW B362... :D

I stand by having a single turbo conversion making the car less user-friendly from a day-to-day driveability point of view, but it is SO MUCH MORE FUN that it's entirely worth it.
