turbo lt1 vs. supra

so i am a nobie but i own a 94 z with a forged 383 lt1, th400, etc. with a sts turbo system. i pulled up to the light today in my town,orem utah, and had a silver supra next to me. the light went green and i punched it, and so did he. i launched him and pulled a car everytime he shifted. come to find out he had 600rwhp. then we went from 30 mph, and i beat him again. feelin pretty good about being me right now. :D
"so many imports, so little time"

damn u have a fast Lt1, nice kill, do u know ur track times

Nice kill man..:cool:

any pix or vid i'll be grateful bro & i suggest to Dynoed that beast :bow:

Peace

thats one quick LT1

So two 130+ mph cars raced each other from a couple of redlights? Meanwhile, this is a car with no pics, no further info, no nothing but a paragraph? That description sounds like two 15-sec cars going at it. Somehow I picture a street encounter between two 600+ whp cars to be a little more "violent".

You're gonna have to show a little more proof before anybody really believes that story. Six hundred horsepower is fast.

no pics i am a nobie dont even have a camera, but think what you will about the story just felt like sharing it. my car has been a work in progress for a year now. so big day for me.
track times, the only time i took it to the track up here was the day i got the motor in, the torque conterver had issues, traction etc but it went 12.9 @106 this is in utah at 4800 elevation. not too impressive. i have since put a new converter in and given it a tune and it runs alot better, have not ran it again because the track is closed up here, but hoping to get down to vegas in november, and get a dyno i am hoping to put about 600rwhp and 7-750 rwtq

600 rwhp through a TH400? Keep dreaming, especially with the STS system.

:bs: sorry.

600hp isnt always fast from a stop especially if its a 600 hp supra. I believe it as long as this guys camaros runs somewhere in the 11s and didnt spin all over the place. a stroked, turboed Lt1 can be insane, im suprised he didnt beat the supra worse then he did.

i dont really believe it either, but my question is why cant put 600 horse thru a th400? i dynoed 567hp/611tq at the wheels, thru a tci street fighter trans, and a 10bolt rear end in my 77. ok i am only a few ponys short of 600, but my tq is more then there, and i've sprayed the car aswell. i

Hey buddy, if you want these people to believe you have this car with all it's mods then you really should get some diggy pics or better yet, a video on the web. If you really do have this ride then I give you props because I think almost anyone on this board would love to have that setup !!!
So post up some good stuff and ad a signature too.

Heavy

PS- good kill if it really happened. :bow:

so i bought a digital camera and when it gets here i will post pics, maybe i'll also get a vid of a burn out or something, it has the 98 plus conversion also i love it but would like to get into a black 94 trans am so if anyone is selling let me know
thanks

oh ya why cant you get 600 though a th400? isnt the reason for going to a th400 to give cars with more than 500hp a chance. god knows though 4l60e's just cant hold it i know!!
please any input would be great
i am not trying to call anyone a liar but to simply get your opinion and reasioning for that opinion
thanks

i've got a 97 ramair no motor 80,000 miles . only draw back it has a flood damage title

send me a message
how much where at auto or 6-peed any info is helpful

I think a Turbo 400 can handle 600 horses...

Two-time USHRA World Champion Taurus the Bull is a 1997 GMC Pickup with Extended Front Clip. Powered by a 572 Donovan engine with Brodix Heads, an 871 blower, and a 400 Turbo Trans, the eleven foot high ten thousand pound monster produces more than 1600 horsepower. Taurus the Bull is considered one of the top billing names on today's monster truck circuit.

Maybe he had doubts about 600 hp from an STS turbo kit.

I am not questioning the strength of the TH-400, that would be stupid. But they are not known for their efficiency. It would take 750-800 hp at the engine to make 600 at the rears through a TH-400, and I don't see that happeneing with the STS kit.

Why not? I will tell you right off the bat that I know next to nothing about the STS turbo, so I'm NOT saying that it's possible. I would like to know why you think it can't happen with the STS turbo. Doesn't it, like most any turbo, have the ability to pump up boost to very high levels?

The STS turbo kit is far from a conventional turbo system. The turbo is ~10 feet away from the engine. It is mounted back where the muffler is supposed to be, and then the intake charge is sent back up underneath the car and into the engine. Since the turbo is so far away, it needs to be sized to work primarily on exhaust gas volume as opposed to the heat that would normally help spool a turbo. Because of this, they run seemingly small exhaust turbines to compensate. To get a 383 to 750 engine hp, you are talking some serious boost, and even greater with an STS kit. The STS kit is designed for stock or near stock cars, and not much past it. If it were a PTK kit, I would say hell yea! But the STS kit just wont flow the psi/cfm necessary to support those power levels.

say what you will about the sts kit. i worked for sts for about a year. i don't work for them now but i do still have their kit on my car. simply saying that i works very well. i attached a dyno chart the motor specs are on the chart. it was dyno'd at 11 psi. am i saying that the sts kit is the best turbo kit out, definently not! however it works and it is efficient, the easiest turbo kit to install on a 4th gen in my opinion i personaly have installed over 10 of these kits, i also have installed regular front mount turbo kits, and centrifical superchargers. i was procharger before my sts, personally i like my no headache sts turbo. i know that everyone has there opinion. this is just mine

how do i attach the dyno??? a little help please

I'm not commenting on the race, but A properly set up 383 could make 750 to the flywheel with about 12 -14 psi with something like a T76. I agree, maybe it will take more with a rear mounted turbo, but not a nice "conventional" setup.

Next time just put your car in your sig then maybe people will believe you. Nice kill :)
