Im beginning to think these MR2s are slow having a pop at the little sports cars big brothers all the time. It seems if you can hear an external wastegate on a supra, it going to be 600+ bhp and the momentum they can generate at speed cant be matched by many cars on the road !
So here I am tootling along, I find a silver Supra in view right up my Jackson, for a short time, I held back, not to be rushed ( getting on a bit now > both me and the car ! ) .. I even pulled over to let him past
he follows me in
I could make out a roll cage in view with a clear view of a front mounted intercooler
Still there and driving relatively closely, I thought hes messing with the wrong MR2
I then moved back on the outside lane and stuck it in 4th with the turbo starting to spool, boost controller set to 1.2 bar
I find him pinned to the rear bumper.
Planted the throttle and pulled some 3 car lengths.. into 5th.. then he rapidly reels me in
we get caught up in some traffic
thought
okay
wrong gear, its got a bit more power than your normal Supra
stuck the boost controller to 1.6 bar and ruthlessly nailed it after the car moved over in 3rd
catch me if you can !! 4 car lengths out of it
into 4th
all the way to 8K @ 1.6 bar, into 5th cars pulling like a train
then bl00dy hell
this thing just starting pulling on me
and pulls right up along side me
and past
..
Get caught up in traffic again
round 3
. This time Im behind.. I see a puff of smoke as the rear squats, mid range cant be matched by the Supra and I find myself backing off, pulls on the inside lane.. but by then.. too late, the big turbo on the Supra has spooled and left trailing in the smoke.
Rapid rapid machine .. Eventually caught up with him side by side ( he must of ran out of fuel or sommat !!! ) to give him a little acknowledgement.. and nothing
didnt look over, no emotion, not even a grin
. !! Hes either a very shy man or a real ignorant one !!
Couple of facts > Mine at 1.6 bar usually is pulling between 450 > 500bhp in a 1300kg body ( depends what Ive eaten the night before ! ) , so its not the slowest
.what Ive failed to mention is this very car I saw a film clip of it 2 weeks before on a set of rollers producing a genuine
wait for it
.. 1625 bhp **Sarcasm**!! Turbo would start to spool at 7000 rpm.. I dont know much else about it, but can find out ( pump gas / nitrous.. I dont know ) I do know he must only have a 2K power band which must be like the Star Trek Enterprise going into warp drive !!
I dont believe the full 1600 bhp was/can be used on the road ( unless he wants to go back in time ) as it didnt pull on mine for something 3x more powerful. Nevertheless, definitely a long going projects thats finally come together.
Youll probably start seeing this at dragways in the future cleaning up as its a great straightline tool.

Re: Supra 1, MR2 0
Was it 550bhp atw but calculated at a 300% tranny loss?

I've edited my post to reflect a little sarcasm... Perhaps its true.. but to pull 1600 bhp out the sky as a statement...yeey right... the guy that told me, he is an Supra / Skyline engine builder too and deadly serious about it...
Put it this way... a change of fuelling and run 2.2 bar through mine... I dont think it'll have much pulled on it ( to 160 that is ! ) ..
Hat of to the miserable g1t, the Supra went well though !!
Rule of thumb, a 500bhp Supra cannot shake a 320bhp MR2

Re: Supra 1, MR2 0
A good tale non the less wonder what it was actually pushing i recon around 600whp from what ive seen
you'd hope a 450hp mr2 wud be untouchable to all but the quicker sportsbikes in the real world afterall its unlikely ur gonna look across at the lights and see a timeattack car.

Re: Supra 1, MR2 0
I'd still rather your M5 out of all of them though

Supra sounds like an absolute animal
My first MR2 Turbo, I raced one at Santa Pod and I had it off the line, then he was just a dot on the horizon

Good lad.. you should stick to racing on track!

my first run up at Santa Pod was against a Skyline drag car (with parachute). I had him off the line (well he was stationary for a few seconds ) and then it went past me just before the finish line doing a million mph.. I very nearly sh*t the bed.
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.
Re: Supra 1, MR2 0
may be these 3 car lenght you pull is his turbo spooling
hence my build have the nos option in
for 1600 bhp, dont he need like 3x 044 fuel pump and about 2000cc injector ?

A 450hp (flywheel) mr2 will just about hang with a 600 bike. A 1000 bike would anihlate it!

i know.... my brothers 486hp gt4 hangs with my mates tuned 2008 zx6r its weird seein it keep up. My mate dunt like it thats for sure top end i think the car has the edge for what it loses on acceleration
im sure urs could almost stay with a 1000

Im not sure, what does a gixxer 1000 do the quarter in?
Pretty sure id be losing to the 1/8th but after that it'd be close i think

I'd agree
1000s do mid tens at the least out of the box which is a scary thought

Well the fastest it's gone is 10.7@141 on street tyres so it'd be close!
