Yes, I've ran Supras with about 450+rwhp and I've pulled atleast 2 cars on them to 145 or so.

374 third gear pull @ 6600 rpm, 15psi. I know I can put more down if I run race gas with a lil more boost and actually do a pull in 4th and take it past 7K.

I pulled a t-78 fd w/410rwhp by 1.5 cars starting at 50 to 140 on vid. I make 500rwhp. Unless you where making more at the time of your race I think that you would need more than 375.

This is from sound performance web site speaking about a 63mm which is just a tad bigger than mine. 10.2 in full street trim.

" At low boost (16-18PSI), an SP63 is capable of flowing over 500RWHP, while high boost and proper tuning on a larger A/R will allow a Supra Turbo to push over 650RWHP. We have run 10.2 at 135 with this turbo on a full weight Supra WITHOUT the aid of NOS!!"

I'm talking about 450rwhp Supras on bolt ons, BPU+, not APU Supras with more then 500rwhp.

Yeah, but what did that "full weight" Supra put down to the ground when it ran that 10.2 pass? I'm pretty sure it wasn't no 500rwhp. If they did it with less the 700rwhp then I stand corrected.

If you're worried about the Supra, save up about $500-750 and get yourself a nitrous kit with about a 70hp nozzle. That should help, if nothing else make him beat you by less car lengths.

Dude read the post. This turbo is maxed out at 650rwhp. Here are a couple other posted on a site that I have bought modds from. I didn't want to go threw the supraforums site because it's so damn big.

I have to agree with IndyKid...supras can be track monsters and they handle better than an FD out of the box.


dont know about real world handeling but the skidpad numbers favor the supra. Before you guys say that the skid numbers are bull, skid pad numbers usually say something about a cars handeling.

I dont know what crackpipe you and Indykid are smokin from, but just say NO!

Mod for mod, yes the Supra has in the 1/4mile, but sorry the titanic weight distrubution of a Supra when both have a set of coilovers, the FD will hand the Supra its *** all day long. Been there done that. Also, concerning drag racing. A 600rwhp FD will be side by side the whole way down the track against a 850rwhp Supra. BEEN THERE DONE THAT TOO!!

I've seen two shootout articles that I can reference done by the big mags. They both put the supra ahead of the fd in the braking, salom, and skid pad and every acceleration test. I don't think that putting coilovers on both cars with the same test is going to make a difference. If you have some proof I sure would like to see it.

why does everyone assume right away that just because the supra is heavier than the FD, it cant handle as good or even better?

it already shows that stock vs stock, the supra pulled better numbers than the FD..acceleration, braking, 0-100-0, g's, slalom..

Proof?! Sure. Go to any local auto-x or road race track and see what car has the better times. It ain't the led sled!

So that's your proof? I track my car very frequently and was and instructor on the road course at this years rotory revo, so I feel like I'm up on the road stuff. I just check the nurburg times (which about every sports car has run on) and guess what? No fd's even made it the top 50. Blitz supra #7 and #38. You're fighting a losing battle my friend.

No, your on a RX7 forum, so it is you that will loose this battle. Now if it were the lead sled forum, it may be different. And I have friends with RX7 and Supra's and even they attest that hands down the 7 is better handling.

So who's got proof that the FD or the Supra is faster on a road course? Autocross? Actual proof like race results or lap times.

Also, this is some mature moderator we have here.
