just a question

whats the difference of the the CT26 turbo from a MR2 and a CT26 from a supra..

the CT26 from a MR2 is junk IMO.. CT20B is the 3rd gen 3sgte turbo and that still cant do more then 300whp.. on a 3sgte

[Dboz]

whats with this 20-40PSI talk.. why do you care so much getting an riduculas amount of PSI on such a crappy turbo.. also to get that much PSI you will have to run high octane race fuel

do where the supra shines.. slap on one big turbo and gun it on the run.. just my 2 cents

Maybe that's partly why two of them together won't flow more than about 200rwhp above stock when the boost is raised...

Btw, upon further research, it turns out that SKILMATIC was misinformed about yet another item - the 2jz-gte's oem twins are CT12B turbos (not CT26s).

Well, I agree that 40psi on the oem twins is rediculous, but 20psi from them is a walk in the park. They may be relatively small, and perhaps not optimally efficient at high boost levels, but they'll push 20psi (and more) with a good degree of reliability.

Agreed.

That makes sense as well, but note that with 'only' 450rwhp a bpu++++ Mkiv Supra is still an awesome vehicle. When driven where it really shines (on a roadrace course), an Mkiv Supra at 450rwhp with a good set of tires is easily enough car for most intermediate-level drivers.

im not starting an arguement here.. but

a mk4 supra on a real race course was always raced with a different engine.. 3sgte in most of them.. and now 3uz-fe v8's..

partially because the races have hp limits.. 600ish hp
but the engine is lighter and their torque is much more useable then a 2jz's
the corolla rally car was pushing out 300whp with 650 lbs of torque =D

thats why i think a 2jz mk4 supra is the best at on "the run" races on highways.. you ll smoke so many people haha

I agree with you about the 2jz-gte - given the horsepower restrictions in those races, it's just not the optimal choice. On the other hand, you have to admit the vast majority of the drivers that have roadraced the mk4 hard core with 3sgte's are at a skill level quite a bit better than intermediate-level.

[TONY!]

Folks, can we try really hard to keep it as civil as can be.

Thanks.

I really don't want to lock this thread up.



BTW Happy New Year to all!

yea the 3sgte stroker 2.2L is more then sufficent to put out those hp reliablely and win races..

well it was up to toyota to use it.. i really wanna write a letter and ask them why they never really used the 2jz for any kind of race.. i know its whole lot heavier but still..

anyways check this supra out

Thanks for posting those pictures - I agree that v8 looks kind of cool in a jza80 engine bay.

On the other hand, it's kind of a shame. With the bone-stock 2jz-gte block's ability to put out over 800rwhp, there's really no need to swap it out (imo). Personally, I'd rather see a 2jz-gte being used in a '68 Cuda than a V8 in a jza80.

thats the 4.7 litre 2uz-fe =D.. its buttom end can take.. umm we dont know yet haha.. probely somewhere in the 1000+ range.. a bored out one to 5.3 did 1200hp with 20PSI.. lol

the power delivary on that v8 will put the 2jz to shame though

I totally agree with that. Plus the 2jz is lighter than the v8 which would inturn cause for better handling and better et's.

Although it might be capable of exceeding 1520rwhp, I sincerely doubt it'll ever make enough power to "put the 2jz to shame".

I also agree as well. One must calculate hp/weight.

This does get a bit off-topic though. Although big single turbos, v8 engine swaps and nos are all ways to make more power, I'm waiting for SKILMATIC to fess up that he's way off base with his 650rwhp on stock block & stock twins GUESS. He guessed wrong - whether it was due to faulty arithemtic or his faulty knowledge about the size of the 2jz-gte's oem twins. I think it's pretty important that guys like Evilfurby don't go away from this thread thinking that he'll be able to make 650rwhp with his '97 mk4 tt, using only the oem twins and the stock block, after he buys it.

And I am waiting for you to admit you debacled yourself. You just admitted it was attainable with the help of something so cheap as nitrous. I was waiting for you to notice your own flaw. This is the second time you have done this to yourself. I hope this isnt a habbit for you.
