My 3rd time at the track with my new Supra. I have been having some clutch issues. This is the same clutch/ transmission set up that was in the silver car I was driving and I think after many passes, dyno runs and runs at the mile, the stock tranny is getting worn. I'm having my trans rebuilt this next week and will be dealing with the clutch issues next week. We are running a Tilton 4 disc clutch and I am shifting at 9500+ rpm. It sometimes doesn't want to release cleanly. All three passes that I make yesterday were Granny shifting just to get into gear. My last pass was the fastest 1/8 mile I have ever run until I couldn't get it into 4th and still ran a 8.50@ 168. I went
[email protected] in the 1/8, I usually run 137-138 in the 1/8. My first pass right off the trailer was
[email protected], best pass was
[email protected]. I know it has a 20 or 30 in it and it should trap 180+.. I have to say, this is the fastest car I have ever been in. Last night after I unloaded the trailer at the shop, I was driving my GTR home, it felt about as fast as my F450.:D
Here are the timeslip numbers..
off the trailer pass
1.45 60'
137.36 1/8
5.77 1/8
177.37 1/4 ***
8.57 1/4
record pass
1.37 60'
137.53 1/8
5.63 1/8
175.78 1/4
8.47 1/4 ***

1.35 60' ***
141.20 1/8 ***

Thanks guys, it's a ride.. We are in the process of changing the set up to run the mile in 3 weeks.. can't wait.
It's hard to believe that we are still running all factory Toyota drivetrain, tranny, rear end, axles ect...

geeeeeeez! 8s! thats ridiculous!
how much faster do you think it'll go with a beefed up trans and rear end so you can shift it harder?
Speedster
10-09-2008, 08:30 AM
The part that amazes me is that the drivetrain doesn't just disintegrate. Those are some hellacious e.t.'s and trap speeds. What RPM do you launch at again?

A 4 wheel Ninja for sure. SW, you are something. Probably makes the M5 seem like a slug.

It really doesn't need a beefer trans and rear end, I just need to rebuild the trans because we are pushing about 1600 hp through it and it's starting to make some noise. The rear end is good so far..

I recall a few years back, One of the "Wine and Cheeze" Magazines like Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc. Did an article on the baddest high end car reguardless of price. Ferrarris, Porsches, Lambo's etc. Any car any price.
Guess what won? Yep.
A Toyota Supra Turbo.

There was a blue Supra on Drag radials in Vegas at the last race that was from Vegas, that was unbelievable. It was so clean. It ran like 8.30's in our class, which is off the pace a bit. He said he was having trouble building boost on the starting line.
With 60ft times in the 30's, you might have some 7's in there, Especially with a turbo car. Our Nitrous car does 7.80's with a 1.34 60 ft. We are down in the 1.24 as of last weekend. With the 180 Mph that is just tick below us in the nitrous big block. We upped the record last weekend to 152 in the 1/8th and do 185 in the quarter. There are turbo and Procharger guys running darn near 200 mph in our class, but they have like 1.40 60 fts since they cannot put the power down early, but look out cuz the motor on the top end.
Good luck the car looks awesome.
