AshBhp Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Just fixed loose gear leaver for Andy (Suprafan72) and naturally i need to feel the boost of a 720 bhp Supra at 1.4 bar. IMO, the car is so strong on power delivery with instant power in all gears, yet so docile when cruising The traction is unbelievable, no wheel spins in any gears, she just squats and goes. All down to good tyres. (I forgot what make they were) I thought my car was quick at 1Bar. Time for me to visit Dan and up the boost. Plus a set of good Tyres.

Wez Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Your suspension setup must be very good as I would have thought 720hp with F1s in those sizes would have real traction issues. When I was running F1 GSD3s I couldnt get power down in the first three gears and I only have 510hp. EDIT: your motor sounds like an animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my power curve is very progressive... Michel Lane, Steve Sherwood etc are allso arround my power bracket and they dont suffer too many issues.. The f1 goodyears are excellent tyres as well as the suspension set up:) Quantum suspension is excellent. And yes my motor isnt slow.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I wonder why i dont have issues.. i guess its the way my turbo is.. suspension set-up etc.. MikeB's turbo is a lot smaller than your T51 andy all his torque will be low to mid range where as yours is mid to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I wonder why i dont have issues.. i guess its the way my turbo is.. suspension set-up etc.. It'll be down to the lack of low rpm torque and relative slow spool, and the fact that you're usually hitting big power at higer road speeds when tyre speeds are more capable at handling that power. (in comparison to these guys' smaller turbos which make relatively big torque even down in 2nd gear where yours just won't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
