Wez Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Have you been in a 700+hp supra? Before choosing I would recommend getting a ride in various setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Having owned (and maintained) a 700+ BHP car and a few 500 BHP cars I know which I would build if I started again, 700 BHP is OTT for todays roads IMO and is very expensive to keep running, a well set up 500 BHP car with a quick spooling turbo will in a lot of cases be quicker on B roads as well and a hell of a lot more reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the point of 700hp when u can't drive it.. At 1.4 Bar mines pretty much insane and damn near the 700 region on the road.... I class my car in this weather as undrivable at that boost pressure.. hell at .8 bar its still pretty crazy.... You will probably find that 500 hp supras are faster than 700hp supras. due to better tracktion and being more drivable on boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that mey be your first stumbling block. Unless you're going to run on race fuel or pop north for some V Power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 we used to have some 98 octane for sale here in texaco garages a few years ago but that is now gone there is a new type of fuel comin available soon E85 its called, its 98 octane what ye guys runnin over there ? E85 is BioEthanol, this will require a suitable fueling system to be put in place to run it. And it's actually closer to 104Ron but has a far worse MPG rating.

Tones Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 We have E5 and E85 here now, E5 is what can be used in most cars here, yes ur right alex the e85 requires a conversion for your car.. its only relatively new this E5 stuff but maxol say its rating is 99.3ron so will have to wait and see how it works out!!
