Supra Gaz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 'There' 'Arseholes' 'Forum' singular, 'Have asked' No problem congratulations on singling out some one dislexic hope you feel proud Oh calm down. You came asking for advice, we gave you some, 10k and 1000bhp isn't going to happen. You haven't answered my question as to why you want such a huge amount of power.

Swampy442 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Coz itz fast and furious innit bruv? I'm sure if we got a quid for every person signing up to make a F&F replica, we'd all be minted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. Why do we answer question anymore? If you search f&f you get several threads the same as this one. Nothing ever comes of the 1000bhp f&f supra idea, we never see one. To the OP, seriously, answer some questions, tell us what your budget is for the Supra you intend to start on etc and you may be taken more seriously.

Jord Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's all just banter, wouldn't worry too much about it. Far too many people come on here expecting to build a 10 second car and go to race wars. And 10k isn't enough for what you want. There's a huge wealth of knowledge around the forum, just do a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brandon123 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I didnt join to expect to build a 1000bhp car i was actually hoping for the region of 600-800 and only one person has actually helped what advice is there above?? And i asked if 1000bhp was possible as a forum stated so what kind of advice is insults? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Brandon and welcome to the forum. It isn't a hostile environment here (well, not often ). More that this particular set of questions has cropped up on so many occasions that the answering approach you can observe in your thread is a light ribbing and just a bit of fun. I didnt join to expect to build a 1000bhp car i was actually hoping for the region of 600-800 and only one person has actually helped what advice is there above?? And i asked if 1000bhp was possible as a forum stated so what kind of advice is insults? If you picked up all of the necessary parts 2nd hand then you could probably pull out a good setup with high levels of power for that price. The only problem inherited with that is that you are stuffed in terms of warranty and potentially reliability. The parts may be cheap for the reason that they have already been used to within an inch of their life etc. It could be doable though. Just not likely and a loooooooong wait. As a couple have mentioned above, you could spend £10k on the engine to prep it for such power, though it'd cost a bit to refurbish/rebuild a stock engine in advance of uprating, especially if it is a tired and high mileage example. Who knows the history it may have? You could go 1/3 your engine budget on rebuilding to stock spec. THEN you have all upgrades on top of that. The costs will keep mounting when you consider the ECU and mapping sessions, turbo choice and all other ancillaries, fuelling system, brakes, suspension, other drivetrain components (clutch, flywheel, diff etc.), TYRES (you can't cheap out on these on stock power, never mind 4 figures of bhp). There is then the rest of the suspension components such as control arms, ARBs etc. etc. etc. that you would need to ensure were in either excellent condition or replaced/uprated as well. In other words, there are so many things to consider at such a power level that you really don't want to (read: CAN'T) have a weak link in this big chain of items. Seeing that you want a F&F replica, you'll then need to add the cost of all of the body parts (different bumpers, wing, wheels, paint) which isn't cheap either. If you want to be authentic then you'll need an aerotop model as well. Due to that fact, you'll also need to add £2k-3k+ for a Getrag V160/V161 gearbox if you want the car to be manual rather than automatic as the RHD aerotop models didn't come with the manual box. If you do stay auto, you'll need a built autobox which isn't cheap either. By all means good luck if you do undertake such a build, but I'd dig a little deeper into your pockets for some more change if you want to do it right.
