Ben AugustSep 01, 2012 Ya I laughed as soon as I read that.
Sebastian GreySep 01, 2012 I'm pretty sure "enthusiasts" were clamouring for the Supra way before TFaF.

Colby ChurchSep 03, 2012 I like supras. One of the few imports I actually respect.
Austin BurgdorfSep 03, 2012 Very nice car the bhp is ok for the street a little fast but better than 1000 lol I would like to get one 1 day and see wit the can really do
Quinn ConnerSep 03, 2012 Small turbo putting more stress? Lol. It's the big turbo that puts more stress. Look at the huge torque and hp jumps a big turbo has compared to the almost linear curve of a small turbo. You fail!
Aaron BarkerSep 02, 2012 I have always loved the supra it's just one gorgeous powerful car
No PistonsSep 02, 2012 Nvm your referring to twins not a single
No PistonsSep 02, 2012 And a consistent speed is irrelevant, along with its not the motor working the turbo it's the stress the turbo adds to the motor.
No PistonsSep 02, 2012 Not the case exactly, take some time studying turbo pressure graphs and all the, the 250 word limit would make explaining everything a huge pain in the ass
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 And if a single is kicking in by 2k rpm's, it's probably a fairly small turbo, in which case the twin turbo's would make more power... And the first turbo is @ full boost by 2k rpm's the single wouldn't b at full boost by then I don't think
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 U wouldn't b putting much stress on the engine, yea the turbo (since only the smaller one would b spinning) is working, but when you're cruising at a consistent speed, the engine really won't work the turbo hard at all
Bill Estep JrSep 01, 2012 I like the chirps lol that's awesome to excessive on all the chirps of the turbo but love these cars
No PistonsSep 01, 2012 Daily driving it's really not that bad and I would want to have my boost come in later so I'm not constantly putting stress on my motor jus casually driving to work
No PistonsSep 01, 2012 It's almost SOELY dependent on turbo, turbine size, header design, compression, and tuning. You can make a single kick in by 2krpm. Example, mazdatrixs turbo set up kicks in by 3 and stays till 8-8.3ish on rx8
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 But I guess I wasn't very specific now was I lol
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 I was just referring to street/track supra's more so then 2000hp drag cars
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 Streets and tracks, lag will b very noticeable in and out of turns and at low rpm's.... For any where from 650hp down, u can get that power from twins np, and have minimal lag, but I totally agree there and up, single ftw u just get more power.
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 @ Johnny, I totally agree that for high out put u'd want a single, but when I said the twin would b beter,
I meant for one like in the vid where as he said is in the middle of stock and outright drag car, that's more of a street/track car. Bec on the
Dan MarinoSep 01, 2012 My dream car. I saw one at a local car show in this exact color with a single turbo. It had nicer wheels tho. Ahhhh I want one so bad!
Terrance ParkerSep 01, 2012 This Supra is so clean and unmolested.
Chris WashburnSep 01, 2012 @Johnny Agreed, and with any drag supra, they're using an anti-lag system kind of like the launch control in a GT-R. Build the RPM's to 4k and hold the steering wheel tight lol.
Johnny FrancisSep 01, 2012 And hell the engine can take more boost so a single just makes more sense to me. If you want just like 400hp though..I'll stick with twins. Anything above that definitely single ftw.
Johnny FrancisSep 01, 2012 As long as you're not running like a t-88 single the trade off of a little lag for much more power is worth it. Since its an i6 it's better to not to split the exhaust gases into twins, when you can just compile it into 1 source. It's more efficient.
John Darwin PriceSep 01, 2012 Well Supras are I6 cars, so I'd believe the idea that a single turbo works better. Generally inline-6s use single turbos.
John FrancisSep 01, 2012 From what I've read, neither is clearly superior to the other. If you want more power/a larger power band, you go single. Twin has better response when exiting corners on a road course. If you guys want a detailed explanation I have plenty of links.
Patrick SchalkSep 01, 2012 It depends on how big the turbos are
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 @ John, jw in what way, I know for a fact the twin turbo ones have a lot less lag, like close to none, but I'm also pretty sure their 6 second supra which as they said is the fastest in the world was a twin turbo, I could b wrong though.
John JenkinsSep 01, 2012 I've heard better things about single turbo supras than I have twin.
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 2000rpms... Just upgrade them instead of going to 1 big turbo
Matt PiccoloSep 01, 2012 That's a sweet supra, love how clean it is! And u might wanna stick wit a twin turbo set up, since the supras turbos are sequential, there's almost no lag as the first smaller turbo is at full boost by about 2000rpms, making 300lb-ft of torque @
Brady FeredaySep 01, 2012 Love these cars they are rare where I live but I work with 2 guys who own one though ones a auto non turbo and the other is a turbo manual :D
Ben NortonSep 03, 2012 If its straight up drag why have the track spoiler creating all that extra drag?
Bennie Andthe JetsSep 02, 2012 This is also not the car that the article and video is about. Check the video next time
Joe Fats HarperSep 02, 2012 They're drag racing tires.. They don't need to make them wide because your only going in a straight line..
If they're too wide they will create too much resistance and slow you down
Andrew MoralesSep 02, 2012 Why do the front tires of this 700hp supra look like they came off a Prius? C'mon 'Titan'...
Ya I laughed as soon as I read that.
