wow, MKIII capable of this!?!?

[mtoxracerfss]

The awesome 800+hp HKS Drag Supra. A 1990 Toyota Supra body with all carbon fiber body panels sitting on top of a custom chassis by Pro-Chassis. The heart of this monster is a de-stroked 2.89-liter twin-turbo 7MGTE, capable of 9000+ rpm and an 8.09 sec 1/4 mile...

The Juicy Details (from Aaron's Site)
Callies crankshaft (Stroke=~87mm /Stock=91mm)
Carillo rods
HKS pistons
HKS camshafts
HKS HUGE intercooler
Twin Garrett T04 turbos
HKS stand-alone programmable EFI & ignition computers
ATI crankshaft dampener
Dry sump oil system with custom aluminum oil pan

Those 800 stampeding horses are attached to the ground through a 2-speed ATI computer-controlled, air-shifter powerglide transmission. So what's the bottom line? Low 8-second quarter-mile times, in light rain, through the mufflers!

If I recall correctly they did a lot of weight reduction to get the car that fast (in addition to the power levels).

Yeah it was basically just a shell, with a $30k 7mgte under the hood. Completely destroked, custom shim under bucket head, giant cams, dry sumped, full tube chassis.

Might be a different car I saw but at NOPI in 2005 at STL, there was a 1JZ-GTE powered full drag car, also right hand drive which was interesting, it ran an 8.7 sec 1/4 mile. Looked like low budget team, just 3 guys + driver and a regular car trailer and a powerstroke pickup to tow it and a lil tent to keep car covered from sun. had all these simple green or whatever vinyls from sponsor i assume.

A full tube chassis and a Cf body will do that

My guess is that car weighed about 2400 lbs or so....

So is a MKIII capable of that? Not a regular one for sure.

Are you talking abotu the Greased Lightning one?(silver w/ red/orange graphics i believe) If so, i believe its a 2j and runs mid 9s

 

[hardcharger]

hey you got any pics? would love to see this beast

 

[mtoxracerfss]

I know all of this but its cool to see. Theres another "more stock" 7mgte on the site that ran 9.5.

Its kind of like the million dollar 4 cylinder integra that made 2000 horsepower. Not even the same engine, double displacement etc....but integra owners claim that integras are capable of that lol. I just thought it was interesting.

 

[billspreston01]

that would be the greased lightning car, which won at NOPI at Norwalk in Ohio. Originally a 1jz-gte rhd j-spec car, but converted to a single turbo 2jz and full mkiv power train (built toyota auto) and runs low 9's on chrome mkiv rear rims with a 315 wide BFGoodrich drag radial (he says it rubs a lot) I think it's like modahvi motorsports or something.

Here is the pictures that i have of the HKS supra:evil2:

 

[Jspec7m88]

Pictures, please.

*edit*....Pat, you confused me.

 

[927mgtepat]

How did I confuse you?????LOL

 

[Jspec7m88]

How did I confuse you?????LOL

Weeeeiird. :icon_conf I said that you confused me because your post said:
"Pictures of the HKS Supra:evil2:"...and I was sitting there looking for pictures and hovering the mouse over everyword for a link and couldn't findthe pictures...the pictures(I seem them now) weren't there AT ALL when I made that post...

Is someone playing tricks on me?:icon_conf

 

[927mgtepat]

LOL, nope not that i know of. That was a bad ass car, i wonder what HKS ever did with it.

 

[Jspec7m88]

Hmm...That's a good question. I don't know the specifics on it but I know that it is one bad mother.

 

[MK3Brent]

There are bigger pics out there... someone has to have them.

 

[IJ.]

Purpose built race car

Probably has more $$$ in the chassis then most Mk3 build have as a total budget!

Pity there's no Vid of it around (or is there)

 

[Jspec7m88]

Yeah...when I saw those pictures on some page acouple months ago, I spent like 2 hours trying to find videos for it...

 

[IHI-RHC7]

Bryan, what's your chassis weighing in at?

 

[927mgtepat]

Yea,you cant really find anything on it, Does anyone on here have conections with HKS that can find out anything about what happened to it?
