FASTER MIKE!!

what is the most tuneable car for the least cash ie what car can you get the best results without having to spend shead loads on(if thats possable). we all know you can get a 1000bhp+ out of a skyline gtr but it'll cost more than the value of the car to get there.

toyota supra twin turbo imo

moses

ditto a supra

take them to near 1500 bhp if u like , just like the usa boys

FASTER MIKE!!

but can you get the big bhp for little cash? i have herd that the supra can get 8-900 bhp on std interals, though how long they will last is probably another question

Old Style Supra. Buy for £1000 (3.0Litre Turbo) Spend £1500...bingo.....500-600bhp, 800 with some NOS

milo

how big bhp and how little cash are we talking?

take a look on http://www.mkiv.com/faq/faqtt.html which explains the bpu that gives circa 400bhp *AT THE WHEELS* for $2k (around £1400ish?)

FASTER MIKE!!

well i suppose its in relation to the value of the car, 20% of what the car is worth and get the biggest percentage gain

FASTER MIKE!!

just to add no nos

ditto Mk4 supra twin turbo - 276bhp out the box, decat and a boost controller takes you north of 400

Muffleman

Just done this myself, I now have a shiny Red Veilside TT Supra, various mods inc. full decat, FMIC, etc

When you hit about 4000rpms and the second turbo kicks in, it's a great place to me

Single turbo conversion next year for under £4k, that'll have me over 600bhp - a mint car with 600bhp for LESS than £20k

However, BUY TRACTION CONTROL.

As once written by johnfelstead (or maybe john banks, I can't remember now):

fast, cheap, reliable - pick any 2 of 3

IPKIS

R32 skyline GTR

buy for 6 grand
spend another 10 tuning

have fun


and i know they arn't the best shape but they are more tunable that the later ones and lighter

1400bhp ish if you really have deep pockets have a vid somewhere of one doing 0-320kph in under 13secs


japan tuning though and language

i know that but its my personal choice
being technical to get silly BHP out of any car costs more than its worth

wide

surely if you took a nissan micra and got 150 bhp out of it, it is just as relevant as getting 800 bhp out of a skyline or what ever this thread seems like a chav whos got the biggest *****

As a moderator of the UK Mk3 Supra Owners Group and a former Mk3 owner, i have to say that this is UTTER BOLLOCKS....

kart_man

Buy one that's already been mod'd as you never get the cash back when you sell it...

Evo 1 or 2 can be had from £3.5k - £4.5k, still a bloody good car for not much dosh, and for a scooby forum i cant believe no one has said a K-L reg Impreza both these cars can be had for next to nothing, and theres loads of tuning stuff for them, but if you want a car to push over 400bhp, then you shouldnt be trying to do it on the cheap.

papascooby

uk spec late mk4 supra

325HBP and 190mph out of the box.

i doubt you'd want to mod it but there's big gains to be had from the usual mods.

Still would say the MA70 Supra, get a good for about £2.5-3k, spend another £3-4k on tuning bits and roberts your father brother should be good for around about 500BHP, if the head gasket doesn't pop at the:

Start (pre mod)
middle (I just thought I'd take it down to the shop)

or when you have your 500BHP (woo hoo 500BHP! Whats that gurgling noise...)

You also forgot to add £50 for the gold medallion for when you go driving it.
