supra v\'s rx-7

[welford11x]

just wondered if anyone knows what an rx-7 3rd gen is like against a supra twin turbo. 0-60 times,bhp,0-100 times etc. just so i can compare them?

[Andyp]

Stock wise, I think there\'s hardly and difference at all, something like 0.1 seconds between the two all through the ranges.

JSpec\'s less BHP than UK mkiv but either one you should be able to keep with, esp when ya get to a corner *hehe*

try www.supercars.net for more info

a stock fd should have no problem in keeping  ahead, should have a video soon, I hope from santa pod were I was 200 meters adhead of a 525 bhp supra that had a figure dyno proven. He was a members friend.

Supra  326bhp, 325lbs/ft torque 0-60= 5.1, 0-100= 12.3,  1/4mile= 13.7@105mph, 0-1000m= 24.7@135mph.  1549kgs.

Rx7 R1 255bhp, 217lbs/ft torque 0-60= 5.3, 0-100=13.9ish, 1/4mile= 13.9@100mph, 0-1000m= 25.7(ish). 1270kgs.

Supra would be around 20 metres in front after a kilometre.

Thought Supra\'s were in on the 280 bhp maximum rule, no?

Surely 326 bhp is not stock?

Wasn\'t it the UK ones that had more power?

[J4P RX]

UK ones are listed as 326.  Not too sure on what the Japs listed it as, maybe 280 but theres not likely to be much difference in it.

I know R34 GTR\'s tend to be about 340 despite the tin saying 280

UK MkIV\'s were 326bhp...

[Trappy]

My friend has a modified Supra, Rexy beat him twice in a row at Santa Pod (not by much mind)

Winnings Winning!

The last of the Japanese supras (do they still make them ?) with teh variable valve timing engines are about 330 BHP.

[Robertio]

On our way to a rolling road day there was practically nothing between my FD (street port & PFC) and a mates stock Supra (30(ish) to 140mph).

Rollers said:
FD (manual) - 228bhp
Supra (auto) - 323bhp (it was either 323 or 326, can\'t remember which though)

Draw your own conclusion..


I was gutted about my power figure (put down to dead cat), but I think he was even more surprised than me.

[Andyp]

what boost were ya running dude?

[Robertio]

Just 0.6bar.  This was a few months back, about 2 weeks (2.5k miles or so) after getting it back from its rebuild.  Midpipe is now on, backbox goes on on Saturday followed by a bit of mapping then back up to the rollers on a week Sunday.  Still running the same boost should make 280, so I\'m hoping anyway.

[Andyp]

sounds about right, thinking of upping mine one day, only running 0.5 myself, gonna sort my bloody airflow out first thou
