Homer 94sc300 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I did some research and discoverd between the 94' N/A Supra and the 93-94' SC300 there is about a half second difference on the 0-60 and quarter-mile time . Also there only about 200lbs apart am I wrong? So carrying the same engine and tranny, wheres that difference coming from? Are there factory parts from the Supra I could be lookin out for to give me that difference....., intake manifold, headers, torque conv., whatever. Or how about somehow losing a few houndred pounds on the car...anyone know anything about doing that without stripping interior??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The difference in times is probably a result of gearing/weight. It's actually a 300lb difference, and didn't the Supra automatic have 5 gears? As for weight reduction, you can do a lot without removing interior parts, but it's annoying and can get expensive. Removing the power steering and A/C units lose weight and give back hp, but then you don't have ps or a/c. You can also gain 1-2hp by switching to an electric radiator fan. Lightweight underdrive pulleys give more grunt, but sacrifice gas mileage - same with adjustable cam gears. Really the quickest and easiest solution for more power would probably be getting the Dragon torque converter. And as far as Supra parts are concerned, a Getrag 6spd tranny and LSD would help a lot, but they're expensive as balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I've researched all mentioned above, mainly wondering how much of a gain can be expected by losing a few hundred pounds? (with lighter hood, battery,carbon fiber body parts, wheels, ) Torque conv. is the best thing, anyone know of any other good brands...or a factory one of a stock vehicle?
