Big turbo skys?

[ryansalazan]

Hmm not picking sides at all lol but I've never had any problems with Matt? Haha I didn't buy their engine tho. I pieced all my parts together then put it together with a friend.

[ryansalazan]

Also like the title of the thread, are there any big turbo sky's out there? Any info you'd like to share as far as what components will hold up to power and what doesn't?

If your going to be just doing street stuff(like gay rolls) then just watch your shifting with the battleship transmission(clunky) we have.

Can we start by asking you, what are your power goals and for what application will this car be used for?

Bear in mind that installing a larger turbo unit is in many ways like tuning a conventional engine for semi-race use with peaky cam etc.

You lose down below what you gain up top. While many people seem dazzled by peak power numbers, some of these cars are a pain to drive in normal traffic because you rarely get up into the RPM range where the engine produces those trophy numbers, and are normally slogging along lower down in RPM ranges where the stock engine had more (sometimes far more) flexibility.

If you are on a search for big numbers, so be it, but just bear in mind that there are trade-offs. Try to strike a reasonable compromise depending on the use you'll have for the car.

That's a new-gen feature. Its a no oil change feature to save you time and hassle.

ya im very aware of it but i dont have a huge turbo anyways so there not really much boost lag or power lag at all in normal driving. I have full spool at 3100 rpm. I know compared to stock 2200 its not as quick, but its also not as bad either

Ok well the application will be more just in the driving around town but have power style. Im not the biggest drag strip guy, but at the same time its nice to have RWD car so you can use it.

Miller, why did you get rid of your sky?

[miller11386]

because i wanted this:

Supra 1000+whp GT4780 Dyno runs!! - YouTube

Supra 1000+whp GT4780 Dyno runs!! - YouTube

And some of this:

Supra, sick launch! - YouTube

Supra, sick launch! - YouTube

I love my 2871 with e47
Perfect street combo

Thats sick miller.
When you get that finished u have to bring it to a Mod Meet

[ryansalazan]

oh nice nice. hope you have a safe spot to put it... seems like they are the in thing to steal after reading Jessica Bartons story...:/

[miller11386]

yes i have a safe spot for it. I also have insurance to cover it if something were to happen.

Finally your talking about big turbo sky's and then having a car with no lag. Which is it that you are looking for? I think the 2871+ethanol is a great combo. It gives you the max that the car can do in stock form and really has very little "lag" per-say. (spools in the early 3k rpms) If you want a "big turbo sky" in my mind, you are looking at a built motor with a 35R/6766 on it to go for big power. So I am a little confused by what you mean.

The 47R on my car should spool at 5500rpms. Lag just gives the V8's time to catch up

look how cocky you are.

You both just reaffirmed my insanity in my co-workers minds (random laughter out of the blue)...

Miller, you coulda just slammed the Supra engine in the Sky :P

Oh wait, that's been done (where as stupidly fast Supras are a new thing, lol)

I thought about a 2j in the sky, but my car was too nice to chop up. Plus the whole "its been done" thing. If I had some beat up NA sky, I would have put more thought into it for sure.


That being said, there were a few reasons to go with a supra mkiv.

1)The parts are all made and just need bought. No custom work required and replacements are always readily available....99% bolt on. (which means I can do the work myself.)

2)When complete, a high HP sky has next to zero market. A supra can be sold without a horrific loss as long as you are patient.

3) Its more rare than a kappa... only ~11k or so were imported to the US over the ten year production span

4) I am addicted to the sound of these cars A big single supra is just very distinct.

In my area, they are ignorantly rare. In NE ohio you are more likely to see bigfoot riding a unicorn than a supra rolling down the road. I have only saw one at a car show in the past few years and it was all stock. I have met a few modded car owners, but they are very few and far between.
