I know the guy who built that thing. Had an F2 series Procharger and seriously sounded like a Jet Engine. :bowrofl:


Best Second post EVER from OP btw.. :rofl:

Figured I'd try out the remote mounted turbo myself... Works pretty well!

Muffler-Mount Turbos: Don't Even Think About It, Buddy

SIQQQQQ.


This guy?

:loser: :facepalm: :2cents:

Chicken wire and duct tape baby!

I bet the race would be a bit like this... you are the car with the camera BTW :laugh:

haha. they're right about one thing.. I made some waffles before that thing was finished spooling... but it went from cruise to like 900hp pretty quick :laugh:

I am nearly certain that the driver of that supra did not downshift - he stayed in top gear (6th I think) and just jabbed the gas and waited, knowing the other car would fade into the rearview in just a few moments. Had he downshifted and actually tried the spool up process would not have needed an intermission for bathroom and drinks as in the video.

Its possible. Supras are so well underdriven in their top gear (MkIV's 6 speed is around .78:1 IIRC; MkIIIs is .75) that full throttle at just above idle does nothing. Practically no noise and no indication whatsoever of throttle position, whereas in the powerband (of any car), throttle position is easy to listen for.

..or it's a 3-speed auto and you're both deaf.

I was thinking it was auto. Don't exactly hear the revs climb too much.

Could be Doppler shift. But it does shift like an auto at the beginning of the video.
Once it spools that Supra looks like it was shot out of a cannon.

you didn't noitcd the muffler did you? and the turbo just resting on the sway bar....
