Low-budget sleeper
 

How can my friend and I make his 3rd gen Supra beat a 240whp Turbo Talon (fwd) by a long shot?

I'm thinking nitrous and electric cutout. I hear the 7MGE is a strong motor, so it should be able to hold a hefty shot... I hope.

Let me know what is needed to do- BTW, the motor was swapped in and the owner said the "new" motor had 30k on it....

THanks,

u wanna beat that talon?

first of all our cars are too heavy to compare with that
2ndly, u put a shot of nos in your engine without any other mods
you might as well say goodbye to that new 30k engine

new crankshaft
new pulley
new cams
maybe a new clutch
a fidanza lighweight flywheel
new injectors if you wanna run nos (i suggest, 75 shot wet)
forged pistons with coating
new rods
a metal head gasket (most important)

i think those would be enough
and you will beat that talon by a long shot

Very smart idea! Aha

I will agree on most of the parts, But you dont need cams pulleys or the flywheel. They may help, But trying to fit the low-budget thing ha. And if only a 75 shot, the bottom end would hold up fine, just need the mhg. If more, id say build the bottom end. And remember you need traction :) dont just need to mod the motor. This is a talon tsi im assuming so its AWD and about 1500lbs give or take lighter. (im exhagerating).

I also forgot to mention, Get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a BAMF fuel pump. Then youll be set.

well i was jus you know

hoping for the best but preparing for the worst

he wanted a sleeper, so no turbo, no exhaust, nothing that makes any sound, or any showing outside the hood

i jus thought he would need every part that he can to beat that car

those cars are crazy, i wouldnt race em,
but awd and weighs less than half our car?

thats at least 1500 lbs so which translates to :
he will beat you by at least a second and a half

They only weigh about 2500 ish. Not quite half, But sure as hell not as heavy. But im sure with a 75-100 shot of nos and the motor ups to handle it, He should be pretty well off as long as the talon isnt modded a shitload. And i just read that its front wheel drive, So it must not be a tsi...oh well. That means you will have the traction advantage instead of the other way around. lol.

TSI talons are not fast. i found out last night riding in my friend's firebird formula. he beat that talon tsi by about the same distance he does my stock n/a auto supra when we race. what i am saying is it will be a close race.

the talon that we raced was pretty much stock except his BOV. he was also manual.

is your friends supra auto or manual?

onee thing i didnt see on the list is an intake filter, but it may make a sucking noise so i dont know if your friend will want that.
