i went to streetfire and grabed the first supra dyno i could find enjoy that 6500 power curve... |
The stock bottom end has been proven to hold almost 1,000whp on a Supra. The guy who did it was from the Chicago area and had that setup for years, not 500 miles. He recently sold the car and bought a Viper because he was sick of feeding it race gas. Why fix something that isn't broke?
And I think 10k is a little high of an estimate for a single turbo setup on a Supra.
As far as 2jz vs. ls1, depends completely on your application/goals. The 2jz is a potent engine, especially if you're looking to make in the range of 600 or so hp as it needs no internal work to handle it. Of course, ignorant people get off topic and start discussing 482 cubic inch blocks and 6 second cars to try to prove which is the better motor.. which has nothing to do with what you should put in your street car of course, just a bigger dick contest.
Both motors can make more power than you'll EVER use in a street car, so i don't know why we're talking about the motor with the most potential here. I'd say for a street car the best choice would be the ls1 just because of the weight difference BUT for certain applications/hp goals a 2jz could be better.
P.S. Mr. superlsx, i got your roll racing right here *grabs crotch*
