Nightmare comes to life AWD Supra

haha with 10K total investment in a 3/s you couldn't even touch a bpu supra unless you bought everything straight out of the junkyard and only needed it to run one pass. Why even bring this up?

on a jdm (rhd) supra the ceramic turbos wont last very long even at 400 hp ~17psi. jdm supras also have much smaller injectors, different ecu, cams with less lift & less duration and smaller headers, smaller AR, smaller downpipe and cats, the stock jdm fuel pump is not enough for even bpu... usdm and euro supras generally got bigger and better everything. a "bpu" jdm spec supra is not the same kind of a beast as a usdm or euro spec with the similar mods.

sorry if needed to be more specific, gee. The general point is any 5K car is going to need a lot of work to get anywhere and a 3/s needs more upgrades than an equivalent supra. A 10K total invested 3/s car might get you a stock one that will actually drive everyday for years.

a jdm supra needs pretty much same amount of upgrades as a 3s and both make about the same power after the upgrades.

and your average supra, JDM or not, isn't going to need a full engine rebuild and thousands in drivetrain upgrades to not blow up like a $5000 3/s will.

same thing with a supra .. a 6k TT supra is usually going to need a rebuilt very soon .

that is kinda the point. IPD is saying he could run out with a 10K 3/s car and run with a 30K Supra. not going to happen

i wasn't talking about 30k in upgrades. i was referring to the sale price of a STOCK supra-tt. upgrades on the supra are a different matter. imho, no matter how you slice it, for about the total cost of USDM spec mkiv supra-tt--stock--you can have a much faster, equally strong 3/s. that's all.

i think ipd is right i had a 15g stealth i had roughly 11k into including purchase and it was not a pos going to break car and i think it would held its own

Go look at your post ipd. You said for 10k you could have a 3/s better than a 30k supra with a badass turbo upgrade.
