A MKIV Supra comes with a stock twin turbo setup. Most people who have crazy horsepower in their MKIV Supras have upgraded to a single turbo setup. So if you're comparing a MKIV TT Supra to a MKIV TT Supra converted to a single turbo, the single turbo Supra will almost always be faster. I hope you don't owe your friend too much money.

[celicagt94]

which is faster?
stock single turbo or a stock twin turbo

and were not talking mods so no conversions

[Coomer]

When you say stock single turbo, are you referring to a stock MKIII Supra then?

[celicagt94]

yes

I'd say the twin is faster than a single turbo stock.
If it was a single aftermarket big turbo setup, then it would be faster than twin stock.

[celicagt94]

yea speaking of driver

he told me that the automatic was faster than the manual, i didnt be him on that one cuz i am unsure and i wouldnt know how to prove it, however i would think someone shifting would be faster then the car shifting for u (in the same supra)

the wrx sti, gsx, and mr2 all have single turbos. Supra TT owners usually do a single turbo conversion w/ one huge turbo. But if you're talking about the stock form then it just depends on the car. I haven't seen a car company that offers a car with twinturbo and a single turbo. Try supraforums.com.

The MKIII had one turbo, which was the pre-1994 model run, but was much heavier than the MKIV Supra which ran after 1994....the MKIV had an option of either N/A or Twin Turbo. The purpose of the two turbos was for one to provide boost geared more towards lower speeds and the other for hard acceleration. That is all stock form, and from articles about both models i found onlne.

In my opinion......TWIN!!!!!!

I would never put a giant single on my Supra.

Mark Tozer (owner of suprastore.com) is selling his "Ultimate Supra"

HKS 3K Series Twin Turbos on that thing.

1100+HP

Plus Twin Turbo sounds better! haha


Oh yea many of my Supra friends with automatics built their Supra trannys with L10 and it works wonders. Very Fast.and if your a slow shifter the automatic can get you down the 1/4 faster.

I would gladly take TT setup over something like a T88 or one of those soccerball single turbos. With those huge turbos were you have to be going like 100mph to spoll it up, were the hell could you open it up? Im not willing to do 176mph to feel my 900hp Supra. For your run of the mill racing a TT will spool much much quicker without having to loose your liscense by tripling the speed limit. Or just get a upgraded TT setup to fell more power quicker.
All those crazy ass amounts of HP like 800+..they cant really race on streets and thats were I want to bee seen, not the dessert highway safley doing 190mph and my eyelids flapping in the wind smacking my forehead.

t88's will spool at like 4K rpm

dont forget that its a 3 liter inline 6 with obviously has other mods besides a huge turbo so even without the turbo it probably has over 250hp anyway.

so that 250hp will get it moving while the turbo is spooling and boost is slowly increasing along with the power
