Supra vs Terminator
- Thread starter SleeperSupra

I think, in some almost incomprehensible sort of way, he is trying to state that your supposed “apples to apples” comparison of pulling the turbo off of a car that was built to run with them and to run against a car with a much larger engine, that was built to make it’s power naturally aspirated, is a totally ignorant suggestion. What you suggest is sort of like a Viper guy or a C6 Corvette guy saying that a Cobra is less desirable because it has to have forced induction to be able to run to its potential. It would be stupid for a Cobra to run N/A when it was designed to run with forced induction, same for a turbo Supra.
Your argument is totally full of holes and you’re arguing a stupid point just for the sake of argument...

As far as I know, there isn't an argument here. I just upset a few people with my skepticism towards the capability of stock Supra components and my bias towards the small engine, big boost approach to being fast. And I am not claiming to have a fast Mach1 by any means.

Just remember... "A naturally aspirated engine, is an engine with never-ending lag" :thumbsup:

Aww.. I see. I'll admit to enjoying arguments. If you read what I said originally, you will see that I spoke of apples to apples in my book. I can't help but compare motors to motors when we all have the freedom to choose the motor we want. That's all.

Last time I checked, an argument consisted of premises and a drawn conclusion. If I have drawn a conclusion I failed to support, then by all means, point it out so I can fix it!

I have worked on just about every type of car and the only cars I have seen with 300k+ on the odometer (without a rebuild) are hondas, toyotas, and sometimes subarus. Heres the top 5 money makers for our shop:
1.VW
2.GM
3.Ford
4.Subaru/Mitsubishi
5.Dodge
We do also see quite a few BMW's, and when they come in it is usually a very expensive fix, but I don't think there are enough of them out there to make it into the top 5. The one car that I seriously never see, are Lexus (which of course is high class Toyota).
and the stock supras putout 320, and they were easily raised to 400+ with a BPU setup. I have seen the stock twins hit as high as 580 (at the wheels), and then you moev to a single turbo, which can range from 500-1500. Around 900 it would be a good idea to build the bottom end, although I have seen the supra push 1000 with a stock bottom end.

down the road i want to keep my cobra and buy a lexus sc300 and do a GTE swap with a single turbo and auto trans for a mostly daily driver. i like both supras and cobra. but i think the lexus is a much nicer looking car.
this argument is stupid they are both nice cars and i wouldn't mind owner either own:coolman:
a nice turbo setup and an auto is a nasty combo just look at the buick grand nationals every one ive ever raced in the cobra straight up raped me out of the hole including the one in my sig:beer:

Mrcam, off the top of my head I can name you two Buick Regals, one with just over 300K miles, and the other fast approaching (280K) that I know of personally. With that I am sure there are countless others. Both original engines, one of which is on it's second transaxle. I realize you are saying what you have seen personally, but blanket statements should never be made.
