and you will have to replace them like you change your oil.

 

Thanx for pointing that out Dave. You need some good tuning and a few key parts. BNR turbos will help but it can be done with stock motor and turbos. But the turbos will be like an oil change Oh has the BNR's stop smoking yet?

Hey Rikki,



Both my good friend Nick Haralam out in NJ and myself are running the BNR Stage 3s with no oil smoke problems at all. A customer of ours Eddie (drifter93 here) also has no excessive oil smoke problems.



This problem ONLY occurs w/the Stage 3s, b/c of the dynamic seals, which enable quick spooling. The stock rebuilds, Stage 1s, and Stage 2s have no problems whatsoever with smoking.



Additionally, Bryan has found a solution to the smoking problem and will be instituting it soon on future sets.



Just wanted to set the record straight----

 

Thank you. Supras have good engines, I'll give 'em that. If all you want is a car that can accelerate fast in a straight line then a Supra's not a bad choice. If you want a car that can handle and accelerate, then get an Rx7.



The best description I've heard of a Supra is "Good engine, bad chassis." They're also severely traction limited. Hence the joke about timeslips. It takes a really good driver to get a Supra down into the 11s.

You know, I don't even own a Supra and I take a bit of offense at your post. You make it sound like a Supra is a poor handling car, it is FAR FAR from that and in fact has an excellent chassis. The FD is a lighter, smaller car and as such is a bit more nimble feeling and a better AutoX, tight turn performer..but a Supra isn't far behind at all and is in fact probably a better road race platform. A Supra can do a whole lot more than just accelerate my friend.



I don't know who the hell told you 'good engine, bas chassis' but they were talking out of their *** completely. Traction limited? And the FD isn't? The joke about timeslips has to do with the street driven 700HP Supras that go to the track with street tires and average drivers, you mean a heavy car with a lot of turbo lag and IRS can't hook up like a Camaro? No ****! It wasn't designed for hole shots, and all it takes to get a Supra into the 11's is a decent driver with DR's in the back, even on stock turbos. I can't believe how misinformed you are about MKIV's.

 

Yup. I've seen Andi Baritchi's Supra tear *** around Motorsport Ranch.......he'd put a huge whuppin' on most of the FDs out there

 

it doesnt take alot to put a supra into the 11s, and I know FD's can go fast in the 1/4, it's just if you want to go drag racing often, and go 11's often, the FD probably isnt the best choice, and if you detonate on the FD when you're pushing the limits, you're building a new motor... replacing turbo(s) and so on. the supra engine will tolerate alot more abuse/stupidity, which definitely is a factor when making these types of decisions.



Marco's 9 second supra @ GLD - and thats a street car.

 

Only Vosko is crazy enough to regularly drag his 7

 

Negative, Ghostrider.



Ol' Steve Kan was drag racing his FD back when Vosko was in junior high .



I've prolly got about 150 passes down the strip on my rex, and I know of many guys that drag theirs every weekend......

 

Yup, there are alot of guys racing Fd's.

 

has he also found a solution for the customers to get their money back for paying for R/I of turbos 3 times? the ones who had to have 3 different sets installed to get a set that did not smoke... or if the mechanic was nice enough to do it 3 times for free any money?





dave- yes that white FD is making the numbers it claims. i have seen the thing run and it is impressive!



WishIhadaRX7- you are absolutly right!! vosko is the ONLY person EVER who races an FD... stop swinging from his nuts, i am sure they hurt at this point. LOL!!
