4leks Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Black turbo on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-Toyota-Supra-twin-turbo-wide-boy-460bhp-or-more_W0QQitemZ250179113662QQihZ015QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is the seller an idiot? i've sent him an email asking for dyno proofs and to check whether he knows that 1.3 bar on standard Jspec turbos is unsfafe and also unlikely to show 460bhp (just for fun obviously ) this world is full of idiots... i also like his wording re Singles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Your UK should be over 400 at BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4leks Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Your UK should be over 400 at BPU I hope so, thinking of putting her on dyno But still 460 @ 1.3 bar "low boost" is b*shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4leks Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I like the look of that car i like wide wheels however unsafficient arch space destroys the look (imho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hmm lots of variables here guys for example the guy has had a rebuild and not using standard parts for example hi lift cams i.e. 264/264. I would believe at 1.4bar he might be running around 450FWHP as shown here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=128998 again it all depends on the roll road TBH as they all differ and some show slightly higher results Plus flywheel hp is only every a guess anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What exactly is the problem here? It's not like he claims 1000bhp is it? Probably a dyno run would fall short of his expectations, but it is not inconceivable that it would meet them. The gasket and head porting point towards at least one previous meltdown, so I wouldn't pay much for such a project. As for the ridiculous rear wheels...if it makes him feel more virile who are we to judge? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 What's the bored out turbos all about? Not something I've ever heard of before. Car looks awful IMO, but each to their own and so long as the new owner likes it and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
