Nightmare comes to life AWD Supra

[IPD]

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.

30k stock tt price. $$$ extra on top of that for turbo upgrade. $$$ on top of that for AWD conversion. even if you spent 20k putting parts on a 5k vr4 in order to match said supra...it would still be easier/cheaper.

imho, AWD converting a supra is about as retarded as people who want to RWD convert their 3/s.

great, but that is not what you said.

I sure love arguing with people on the internet. People love to take what you are pointing out and change it to mean you are saying something totally different.

Obviously if you have enough money any car can keep up with a Supra, the only point I was making is that a 10K 3/s is not equal to even the most basic upgraded supra, much less one with upgraded turbos as you were trying to say.

That's pretty cool! Lots of wild setups have come out of Russia recently..!

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.

Yep! Ironic that that the JDM-spec MKIV's got the shaft compared to the USDM and Euro-spec models! Weaker (though physically larger) turbos, NA fuel pump, 440cc injectors, less aggressive intake cam and on and on. I forget all the JDM trim levels, but I believe only the top model got the TT brakes as well. The Euro-spec got ALL of the goodies, though -- heated seats, rear diff cooler, twin external auto tranny cooler and a few other small details. The one thing the US spec did get skimped on, which both Euro and JDM spec had, was the front Active Spoiler.

Yeah, I remember when I was on the c3 corvette forum regularly there was a guy somewhere in eastern Europe that built his car on an awd GMC cyclone frame. His reason was that the drag strips were in such poor condition that rwd cars, even with slicks, could not get traction. Apparently, awd was necessary to run the equivalent of a 10 second 1/4 mile.
