1000 HP Supra "Made in Denmark"

[Gabman]

I just wanted to show you guys this mildly modded Supra TT '94. It is owned by a Danish dude, who put a lot of work into it. Tell me if you need anything translated:

Before you start whining, the 1000 hp have not actually been measured, as the car started a burnout on the dyno when the gauge reached 757 hp. This was at 1.2 bar boost, and it can be adjusted to run 2.5 (but that would probably create a little lag). (Maybe a lot). But it is considered a possibility.

That is nice, has does it relate to the 1200 BHP Supra that was shown on the recent Essen Motorshow?

I have no idea, the owner writes about some changes that he is going to perform, but I have not seen or heard anything about Essen Motor Show yet. By the way, the plates say "SMØLF" which is Danish for "Smurf".

just stole Netburner's picture from the Essen Motor Show 2005 thread (my own was useless )

[:Exige:]

Hehe - reminds me of a joke Matra told me a long time ago. What does a 600bhp, 900bhp and 1200bhp Supra have in common? Quarter-mile times

How would having the wastegate and BOV close all of the way create more turbo lag?

And I'm curious as to how they got 1000 horses out of 3.1 liters and 17.5 psi.

A big red smolf...I mean smurf but aren't smurfs blue? Hey, if you have a 1,000 hp who cares.

at least it doesnt look like a ricer, I like it, I like it a lot.

Whats the fascination with 1000hp supras, there are loads of them knocking around.

[Gabman]

I sense some kind of negative vibes. What the heck are you giving me crap for. This car is rare in Denmark, and I have some trouble believing that London is flooded with 1000 hp versions of them, h00t_h00t.

PerfAdv, it's not my car. I don't care that you don't care. Go tell someone else.

Vindesh -> Yeah, I like it too. Not too over-riced, if that word exists.

Godlaus -> You will have to read the specs from the link. I have gotten the impression that more pressure means more lag, but tell me if I'm wrong.

I said:

And then you said:

So I'm telling you, that's not how you read "who cares" in that context. It means who cares since it's a 800 pound Gorilla and can sit anywhere it wants! (or be a red smurf). Get it?

1000hp in any road-going car is impressive by any account. If the Veyron had 500hp, nobody would be impressed.

that reminds me, the Supra should at least have 1002 BHP

I did read the specs, and there isn't too much to impress in there. 17.5 psi in a stroker/borer with a high compression ratio and racing octane shouldn't equal 1000 Hp. Maybe 600.

And more boost doesn't mean more lag, a bigger turbine in the turbo creates more lag. So bigger turbo = more lag.

It may be road legal, but it would hardly be useable on the road, a 3 (ish) litre straight six is going to be incredibly stressed and won't last long between rebuilds. I doubt it would even be able to cope with more than a couple of 1/4 mile runs at full power before something gives up.
