HOLY ****!!!! That is ****ing AWESOME. I'd like to know where these cars come from. Every once and a while, a car pops up out of nowhere that no one has ever seen or heard of, that is so ****ing wild it should be on the cover of turbo mag or something. The price is a little high, but it's still a good deal I guess. People pay 18k for a supra thats only 1 year newer than that car.

I don't know all that much about the technical aspects of cars, but for this car to reach over 200mph wouldn't the engine have to rev to insanely high numbers? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sceptical.

*assuming* R33 GTS-25T

1st~5th: 3.214 1.925 1.305 1 0.752 Final: 4.111

7000rpm redline top speed=180mph8000rpm redline top speed=206mph

But that's with a ecr33 transmission I don't know if the ecr34 transmission is the same and if his final gear ratio is stock. However 200+ should be possible with either.

its pretty pathetic, how close minded people are. theyll buy a supra with high mileage and 0 mods for more than that, when its only 1 year newer. but they wont spend less money on a car iwth 800hp that can run a single digit with only slight modifications to its current status. people are so pathetic, ill let them keep spending 18k+ for their supras that are probably equipped with autos and beaten down on, and 11k+ for their rx7s that break all day long. All day they're mislead on what the true japanese street sports car is. The supra is too damn heavy and the rx7 is too damn unreliable. They'll learn within the next 2-3 years. With the rise of RB power, the supra better get ready to fall from its pedestal, a new japanese supercar is ready to smack it around like its *****.

Um... I have a video of him hitting near 500hp on a dyno... I'm still speculating on weather hes doing 800 now.Video of a dyno he made at 500 hp Video of the dyno



Well, this is what I've found about the car. I'm using on 240sxforums. Never seen this guy post anything of his car

I'll jump in here about his hp numbers. Being from the supra community primarily, I'm more in the know than the majority of you when he comes to pushing up your dyno numbers for bragging purposes. ;) He said close to 800hp, and he didn't state at the wheels or crank. Last time he dynoed close to 500whp, that is actually 575-600hp at the crank. This 800hp he is talking about, could be at the crank. He would only need to produce a dyno showing 680whp to prove he has 800hp at the crank. He is far from lying, just bending the truth I'm sure. He also doesn't have a turbo size listed, so god only knows what the engine is capable of. He also NEVER SAID IT RUNS AT 16PSI, AT ANY POINT! He said that the 80hp shot of nitrous is programmed UNTIL 16psi, which clearly means he is pushing over that, probably significantly. Just figured I'd point those things out to the people calling bs on the guy.

Well, personaly people do exaderate things but you know how it is. People won't believe what they've never seen before. I am hoping this is true, thats a pretty nice looking ride hes got there even if its "only" 500hp

im from miami and this guy lives in ftlauderdale i always see him at the races and everyone claims he has 700 hp but no one has ever seen him run.. he used to have a 13b in it... i think he made 480 to the wheels and thats it... i also believe he has a t77 or something around that range.. hes also a **** when you ask him simple questions.

if that guy has a t77 he'd be smacking around everything on the road. a 77mm turbo is capable of over 1000hp and would easily lay the smack down on an 800hp dyno claim without any problems. supra owners (similar engine when it comes to capability) can make 900whp from a 73mm, a 77mm on a skyline motor can do 900whp too.

The RB25 stock internals are not going to handle that kind of hp daily....he may have done one pass at the 800 crank....but as said by other members...never heard of him ever running his car. Sorry you had a bad encounter with him though...he was a nice guy with me on the phone and over email.

Night


what's his email/phone? I wanted to ask him about his intake mani.

yeah night that twin 235's r32 I drove was mental the t88 could support that power though and he mentions an oringed block if you ask me teh car would be silly to own ansd there is very little usable power for the street for the track with slick it would be great . the r33's run a 4.11 diff so 200 mph is possible but then you come into the wind drag issue.meggala

There are about 3 RB25det powered 240's, 1 RB26dett 240, 2 Skyline GTR's and 2 GTS's in south florida. There out there people! You guys are stuck in a internet world were people say this can't work, or that is wrong, you all follow along. It's not only people on this forum, but on every forum. Belive me when I say, that I have seen this car run and it is fast! It is the top dog in South Florida's street racing scene. I'll put it this way, if you feel you have a fast car and willing to put up 4 figure races (that means $1000 and up), this is the car you race.

Also, he's not lying about the hp's. He dyno's @ (Cartek Tuning), where most of fl. lauderdale guys go (including myself), and has indeed put down well over 600whp's. How much exactly? I don't know.

I spoke with him on the phone two or three times and emailed him a few times, but that was months ago. I believe he actually bought that manifold on ebay as I saw one very similar on there a while back. You might ask NIF on 240SXForums what his SN is on there....he may remember.
Night, I don't think that was him you talked to. His real name is Jeff and he has a strong Jamaican acent. Very tall (like 6'4), skinny and quiet. Doesn't like to talk about his set-up in details, because competition for buisness and on the streets is though in so.fl. He's always been cool with me and everyone that I see him talk to.

The intake and exhaust manifold were not bought on e-bay. It is a custom made peice done by Back Yard Productions, here in Miami.

So, I was looking at that car, it says 245 tires in the back, but they don't look like it at the angle of the one side pic, I could be wrong, they llok more like 225's. Anyway, would a 245 tire be able to handle 800 HP?? I know the are drag tires, but..... I have 225 tires on 17" rims and I am having big traction probs.Anyway, even if it is "only" 500 it is still a great car for the money, and I am sure a 500HP S13 ain't no joke!

Night: the guy we talked to use the name quickdet or something like that, and I have issues with that intake manifold. It seems quite funny that someone selling a car won't talk about just what is going on under the hood. If I were buying it I damn sure would want to know all of the specs on every part. Finally why on earth would you downconvert to the GM coils that electromotive uses. (not flaming just asking questions)
