Debate time

[Supraleeturbo]

So there some kiddie claiming to have done over 170mhp in a stock na supra only thing done to it was and exhaust

I'm finding it hard to believe he's done over 170mph

 

Has anyone done this or know what the stock na are capped to

 

Cheers

[keron]

will be km

prob not got a speedo converter fitted

[Slam]

I hit 150 . On a run way

 

 

[Glanza_Mike]

No debate here mate! He hasn't done 170 in a stock na

KPH not MPH

[Supraleeturbo]

My thoughts exactly

[Alex_GT]

I don't think the turbo model can even get to 170mph.

[JasonR24]

I don't think the turbo model can even get to 170mph.

 

If I'm correct in thinking it's also gearing isn't it.

 

The 5 NA has a theoretical top speed of 160mph

Theoretically the 6 speed TT can go nearly 200mph

 

Obviously wheel size and differentials come into play though.

Once its bpu at around 400 hp it will with a long enough road

[el_bandido]

The theoretical top speed with 275/35/18 tyres is 173 for a W58 and the NA 5 speed 4.083 diff. I very much doubt he's managed that. I've got a 5 speed NA, but can't test this as it has the speed limit defender cutting in at 112mph. Having had a vvti 2jz IS300, that ran out of puff at about 130 and I can't for the life of me believe there is another 40mph in there in 5th on a Supra.

 

Edit, for comparison:

A Skyline is more reliable than a Supra

I don't think he meant on that topic

[el_bandido]

Having had a look at the 6 speed, I think that would struggle too. Numbers for reference:

 

 

Edit: This however, seems entirely reasonable:

When they were new, the journo's regularly said that with the limiter removed, they would do 170mph+ (stock).

Did anyone do it though ?

 

I had 180 + out of mine on the speedo but with 400 + hp

some one go and kick this man in the nuts.

[AC93]

I've had 170 from my TT auto (stock), BPU parts are being delivered this week

[berg]

Mine does 170 in 2nd

[ibby]

I do that in reverse

 

 

[JasonR24]

I actually think it's doable just with a long enough road

[el_bandido]

I'm not convinced a stock NA 2j has enough beans to kick a Supra to 170, even on a speedway. You'd be on the limiter at 170 and you'd need some big rear tyres.

Who knows, some kid said he was giving his teacher one, and everyone in his class laughed, now he's about to be the French President....

[Mike2JZ]

155 is all that I could get mine to with a GPS @ 6500 in fifth and a very long bit of road. It will get there but takes ages.

Most NA clocks I've seen aren't super accurate either, especially with a kph to mph converter

[supra_aero]

Ive done 140+ in na auto with only exhaust. Reckon it could do over 150 but would need a lot of road. Done 170 in tt6 on runway bpu uk car.

He is now say he's done 170mph in an Honda Civic ep3 ? What ever that is
