A better combo in theory would be using a A727 torqueflite transmission. Lighter weight internals and is just as strong. If you get one out of an old mail Jeep they have a GM bolt pattern ;)
@32middlelinebacker reading comprehension ftw... my bad lol. i read why would you hehe. Anyway they bolt up with a supra bellhousing to suit the TH, tailshaft, mounts, shifter etc etc.. You'd be better off pricing up a complete conversion kit if you were looking into it
@saintluke87 oh shit thats pretty cool, like an adaptor plate and belhousing and whatnot right? haha nah i tend to hold out for home grown when it comes to my rides, but a th400 is a bulky tranny did they have to make the tranny hump bigger?
Psy, there's quite a few Supra guys out there who set their cars up for road course. And they really aren't all that heavy by comparison. They weigh close to an ls1 powered f-body.
But I do understand your point. Personally, I'd prefer the vette as a cornering car myself due to the platform being very ideal for it. But the Supra can be made quick in the turns.
Right, don't get me wrong I'd take a Supra in a heartbeat (actually I would enjoy a 3000GT mostly for the body style) but to mention it and cornering ability in the same sentence is absurd. They weigh much more than most big block muscle cars did back in the day and that's saying something.
It just seems to me like virtually everyone who talks up Supra's ability to waste US cars in the corners... has yet to actually do it. Even the video poster is going in a straight line.
@HoneyMuff1n It is an auto, but it has a manual valve body. i.e. its an auto you have to manually shift. No clutch pedal or anything, just move the lever lol
@CrazyAsianMan18 Do not try to understand it.Stick with the real thing for the Supra.I have seen a few of these Redneck setup for Japanese sport car.If you take your modified Redneck shifter to an Event people are going to laugh at you.
@211Alucard how is this a redneck shifter. please explain to me because most 10 sec street/strip cars can built autos including mine and they blow the doors off 6 speeds
I didnt' imagined that conventional atuomatics transmissions with torque converters were mounted even on japanese cars that usually have very low torque at low RPM...
is the proof that american machinery may be "less advanced" but is more reliable than anything else on the market...
Firstly a 2JZ with a Trust T88 hits boost hard at 5000 rpm so hardly a 'low torque' engine.
Secondly, 'american machinery' and 'reliable' should NEVER be in the same sentence.. honestly, not starting a shit fight but come on. Compare to German and Japanese... who has most reliable engineering.. not america my friend!
I said the same thing.. read again what I wrote (veri low torque at low RPM = no low end torque/high revving engine)
Second, the TH400 tranny is an "old school" mechanical piece of american engineering, you can still see 70/80's american cars with 200.000 miles working great..
in europe with a bmw or an audi you hardly hit 100.000 miles without having to replace something..
p.s. and sadly I say that because I have 2 german cars in the family.. expensive and unreliable in the long run..
@Senninha1960 You say this because you daily drive all three? Right. Well, while you're having fun in your 'reliable' POS Jap and German cars, us Americans will politely hit our left turn signal, smoothly merge into the left hand lane, and put the pedal through the floorboard, and let you know what a REAL car is.
I have owned German, Jap, American and Italian cars so my opinion means more than your biased American opinion. And there is no argument when it comes to American buckets of shit vs other manufacturers of the world in regards to quality, reliability, refinement, performance and reputation.
Your foot would not go through the floor board if you owned one of the non American brands champ :D
Merging smoothly is the only option so you dont flip the car due to excessive body roll
farkk what did he do at the begining to make it launch like that. did he have the hand brake up or somting reved it den droped it or what?awsome stuff
No. Brake boosting you hold the gas and the brake. Trans brake is a solenoid on the tranny. When engaged it puts the trans in both low gear and reverse so the car doesnt roll. It allows you to rev the car up to whatever RPM you launch at. When released it takes it out of reverse and you are already in low gear. Just dont sit at the line too long. Good way to burn up trannys.
how did you get the ratchet shifter to shift downward to shift up? all the other videos with that shifter shows people pushing upward to go up a gear.
nono, wrong, it depends of the use, Peter Blach of T04R site made 958hp SAE on stock internals, but it just wont last obviously, but 600hp on stock internals for race track (not drag strip) use is guaranteed safe.
Where i come from we dont have american cars (except fro the chrysler voyager - but they fitted that with a euro engine) which is a good thing, at least jap scrap can go round corners :)
Agreed, I thought it was pretty well known that Supras are atrocious handlers, all things considered. Most decent ones see use at, quite ironically, drag strips... Just look on the damn right, nobody is winning track circuits with them, they're drag racing them.
As for the anti-American crowd, I couldn't care less. More for me.
4000 Ibs stock??? Are u joking? LOL Fully stock Toyota Supra MK4 TwinTurbo (including all liquids, fuel max) AND average driver weights 1675 kilograms or 3685 Ibs. That weight is confirmed by many Supra owners at Supra forum. Still it's heavy, but for car from 1994 very good, compared to more heavier Mitsu 3000GT, Skyline GTR R34, Nissan 300ZX. Only lighter car is NSX (much lighter).
@Bondangoed Both of you are idiots for bashing on Jap cars and muscle cars. Old muscle cars handled great for their time and their size. Newer muscle cars handle almost as well as import sports car. They're not comfy though...
Japanese cars can be so fast that'd drop your jaw on the floor. Of course muscle cars are faster for drag racing but that doesn't mean Jap cars are crap.
so every metal square with 8 holes is considerd ''muscle'' u ugly idiot, muslce was a term used for cars in 60s. a corvette isnt a muscle car. u can tell that term was made for redneck meat heads that beat their wives with dale ernherard memorabilia
@v8leeroy american muscle is a dying breed. the only fair muscle car is the new corvette thats it. and there are bad ass imports that play with domestic like toys and vise versa. it depends on how you build ur project.
