I thought the syclone was the "truck" and the typhoon was the suv. Free bump for an awsome suv though

Are you comparing them to Japanese cars or German cars because I don't agree with this at all. As far as I know people complain about the hyperuetic pistons found in the GN motor, right? And their stock tranny is good for what... is it better than the trannies that come in Supras... 1100whp+ for the manual.
And it seems most of the American turbo cars come with non-water-cooled garret turbos. How long are they good for?
I'm not trying to disrespect any of these cars... one of my all time favorites is the typhoon... next to the DSM and Supra of course. I'm just saying that generalized statements are usually false.
Btw, the only thing I agree with is that my Merkur XR4TI was built like a tank... only cause it was ridiculously heavy... but apparently for no reason. That car got hit at a front corner and was totalled (over $14k worth of damage) in a ~5 mph collision.

i don't know what you're talking about with the pistons, but the 200r4 tranny is good to about 400hp. To imply its not good for anything is complete ****. And your comparing it to a car that is almost 10 years newer. Also, the garret turbos on GNs are air cooled and have been seen regularly over 130k with the stocker w/o a rebuild, so thats crap right there.
I think you're comparing apples to oranges buddy, but i agree that his statement was a bit vague and not true for a lot of reasons...
sorry Jim TTT

Btw, if I had the money I would snatch up this car in a heart beat.
Back to off-topic discussion (sorry)
i don't know what you're talking about with the pistons
Correct me if I'm wrong but they tend to shatter when abused. A little stronger than cast but much weaker than forged.
the 200r4 tranny is good to about 400hp.
That is really nothing special. Most of the Japanese cars on here can do that too. And this on cars that came with a lot less HP, stock.
To imply its not good for anything is complete ****. And your comparing it to a car that is almost 10 years newer.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Supras have been around even longer than Grand Nationals. And the 4th gen Supra was 93-98 (IIRC).
Also, the garret turbos on GNs are air cooled and have been seen regularly over 130k with the stocker w/o a rebuild, so thats crap right there.
Our Mitsu turbos are water-cooled. A lot of DSM guys have been swapping over from their stock Mitsu turbos to cheaper Garrett turbos and are finding them to be only half as durable... even with beefed up bearings. But you get what you pay for, right? Obviously, you can also go with the latest and greatest ball bearing units from Garrett but then aren't what American car manufacturers use in their vehicles, right.
I think you're comparing apples to oranges buddy
When I think fair comparisons SRT4s with Subarus and Evo/DSMs, GNs/Typhoons/Cyclones to Supras and 300zs.
How would you like to compare them?
And if you want to talk about a turbo car that was built right, I want to refer you to the 4th gen Toyota Supras. They would be the epitomy of that claim with forged pistons, metal headgasket, and super tough drivelines... all from the factory. Not sure any other turbo car could compare to their durability and potential in stock trim.

sorry about the transmissions, all i hear on this board are people experiencing their transmissions slipping when they mod their cars...or am i wrong?
What good jap AUTO transmissions can handle 400hp all day? (mind you my car is not manual, but thats what you were talking about i'm sure, cause my car is manual like a supra) 1100hp on stock supra trans, you sure about that?
yea, supras have been around a while, but everyone knows which you are referring to, and my car is an 84. ok, 9 years newer, not 10
why would someone buy an expensive jap car 300zx tt and try to save some money with cheaper turbos on it? aren't you just hurting yourself in the long run? its not hard to guess the more expensive ones will most likely last longer
Was your last comparison single turbo to twin turbo cars? 1100 supras cannot be compared with 300hp GNs...come on now, no-body will put them in the same bracket. stock for stock, newer supras are manufactured better. i know you speak godly of supras, but c'mon, if you wanted to say a heavily modded supra is better than a stock GN, then just say it, i'm sure everyone will then agree with you, including myself. any car can be made to go fast

If a mod could move most of this off-topic discussion to a more appropriate thread that would be great....

I don't recall any one talking about their tranny slipping.

For one, mine. I've got a lowly 5psd manual DSM and put down 400awhp on 94 octane. It was my daily driver and ran with no problems for over two years. No big deal. Then I went with a bigger motor and turbo setup. Auto DSMs have even proven to run into the 9's with a lot more hp.
Now if you want to talk about Supras, there is one on the BLVD that is putting out way over 400whp on the stock Auto tranny. He has been blowing the doors off just about everyone out there, consistently, and reliably. That is the 4th gen. But 3rd gens and 2nd gens are just as tough.
And yes, stock manual Supra trannies can handle over 1100whp.
why would someone buy an expensive jap car 300zx tt and try to save some money with cheaper turbos on it? aren't you just hurting yourself in the long run? its not hard to guess the more expensive ones will most likely last longer
My guess is that Garrett makes the biggest turbos. And my example was talking about a DSM switching over to Garrett turbos and finding them less reliable than Mitsubi**** turbos.
Was your last comparison single turbo to twin turbo cars? 1100 supras cannot be compared with 300hp GNs...come on now, no-body will put them in the same bracket. stock for stock, newer supras are manufactured better. i know you speak godly of supras, but c'mon, if you wanted to say a heavily modded supra is better than a stock GN, then just say it, i'm sure everyone will then agree with you, including myself. any car can be made to go fast
If we are talking strictly about build quality then we don't have to go any further.
But I put GNs and Supras in the same category because they put out about the same amount of power, stock, right? And their ability to go fast is about equal to each other. The biggest difference btw the two is that Supras cost more but then again their stock motor, stock tranny, and overall setup is a lot better. Of course your going to tell me that there is a 10 year difference btw the two. Well then lets talk about a 93 Supra turbo and a 93 GMC Typhoon....
Still available :)
