Everybody goes Turbo here - Can N/A Supras be fast?

skunk · 12-19-2005, 05:59 AM

im so suprised no one said this...after intake then exaust throw a 75 shot of nitrous on it, sence the bottem end is the same as the turbo version it should be fine..i have raced a couple nice n/a supras and they seem to be pretty quick, you would be pretty much unstoppable...then after your done having fun..turn that bottle off and just be a sleeper

i agree, its not really the car itself putting down the power, its just like he said temporary, cheap power. any one can put no2 on a car and say its fast

i agree with the nitrous thing lol. i would still use it tho, just not count it as part of my bragging rights. just to beat cocky people.

Me and my friends all had a little street race gathering last night...it was the most fun ive ever had driving a car. i won...needless to say haha jk, but i beat a 2 liter golf, 99 v6 accord, a v6 olds (car was actually a lot faster than i thought) and a 97 maxima. the closest race was me and the accord....neck and neck till top of third gear.

I like the sound of the 98-02 V6 accord.

I've driven those, and I've driven a 2005 V6 accord, and the difference is quite noticeable. Well, from stock 200hp to 240hp, I guess it should be. The 03+ v6 Accord is pretty fast, and the interior is AMAZING, wow, some fucking car that is.

back to the weight thing ( damn honda. i don't drive a whale ), a xr6 turbo falcon weighs 1795kg, r34 skyline weighs 1666kg and has a more similar engine cc-wise. 1500kg aint really that much for a turbo 3L ( -ish ) i-6. who was it first called the supra a pig ?

lifesnotfair · 01-23-2006, 03:58 PM

I think the R34 is heavier because of the 4x4, which helps a lot in the takeoffs. I've always heard that the MK3's problem is the takeoffs...

I have an 89 NA Supra and there is no way I would call this car slow. I am getting my engine in the best possible shape before I do any upgrades (except for the 2 1/2" Magnaflo Cat I bought to get me through inspection) and I'm quite happy with the stock ride. This summer I may go with a header and open the pipe to 2 1/2" to the back, but I've done 140 mph on the highway and if that ain't fast for a car I spent $1900 on then maybe I don't know what I'm talkin about. Also, from what I see in the engine bay of turbos, I'm rather happy that I'm stuck with my NA, as at least I can work on the friggin engine without lifting it out of the car. Enjoy your NA and don't be envious. You got a great car and it'll probably last a lot longer without the turbo.

My 2 cents,

James in NJ

( understand i'm not a pro so correct me if this is contrary or just if you feel like it )

was lined up against a subaru at the lights ( heh this is half a year before my head gasket problems and subsequent power gain. dunno what'd happen these days ) - loaded up the trans and let it go. the subaru kept a little behind me all the way. started catching up at the higher speeds but mine was an auto and i really messed my quasi-manual shifting ( *sigh* ). anyways, my round-about point is that in the takeoff i had the guy. supras arent *too* heavy for this shit, and if you're not depending on the turbo for half of your power ...

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
