OMG! 40psi on the stock twins! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. That's SO far out of their efficiency range it's rediculous. Even if you could get 40psi out of the oem twins without twisting their pencil-thin shafts to licorice...at that boost level they're super-heating the air, so you get more volume&pressure without any additional horsepower-producing oxygen.
...oh, and sorry to be the one clue you into the fact that turbo pressure isn't additive. In order to get 40psi out of the stock twins, they'd BOTH have to be pushing 40psi (not 20psi each
LOL ).
I personally know of only two Mkiv Supra TT owners (one individual and one race team) that literally spent many, many thousands of $ trying to do better than 500rwhp with the stock twins. They both did eventually get there, but even 500rwhp is EXTREMELY difficult to achieve. Even 500rwhp (a VERY, VERY
FAR cry from 650rwhp on oem twins) requires EXTENSIVE modifications to BRAND-NEW turbos from Toyota, modified manifolds, throttle body, charge-air system, actuators, wastegate, extrude-honing, P&P, and a BRAND-NEW shortblock from Toyota! In fact, most bpu++++ Mkiv Supras with 50K miles or more on the odo don't ever achieve more than 425rwhp (including me, back when I was 'bpu'). A very few bpu+++ Mkiv Supra TT's do get into the mid and higher 400's, but even that's VERY rare; fwiw, I'd estimate no more than 25 bpu++++ Mkiv Supras ever above 475rwhp (boost only, no NO2) in the US.
Like I said, if YOU think that YOU can build a 650rwhp Mkiv Supra TT (stock twins), with a bone-stock 2jz-gte bottom end (even if you do cams, oversize valves or WHATEVER to the 2jz-gte head)...WITHOUT NO2 (and on gasoline not nitromathane
), then I'd encourage you to try. You'd hold the record by a
LONG shot, and I'm sure you'd sell that 'would-be-famous' Supra for whatever $ you put into it. Until then, you're doing nothing but spouting absolute nonsense. Really. I do wish you LOTS of luck...because you'll need LOTS of luck, and a heavy dose of magic too, because it's just not possible.
