Why must you make me question the swap? I'd thought about the Supra for along time, but I got over it, and decided to go with the Celica. Now, I must question that again. One day, I will have money out the ying yang. And when that day comes, I'll pick what a want. I'll be making 120k, and Fiance will be making 190k. I just love those Supras, so dang common though.

NEVER had a supra in the tiny town of Greensburg, IN. I love supra's but 21-23 PSI...... HOLY SHAT

Ok well trust me the celica isnt the **** the supra has more style and more aftermarket support. Anyways if u can afford it get the supra instead.

life begins on a 2jz at 18psi, theyre good for 30 with CP pistons and head work.

theres a guy who works for JRP, big after market wholesaler around here, who drives a 95 Supra at 32PSI on a single turbo daily. Hez got a lil over 1200HP daily driven

hes not running 32psi everyday and a turbo that big isnt gonna stay out of boost on the freeway. capable of 32 but i bet hes running mid low 20s so he can keep out of boost cruising.

-celicast3sgte+Oct 22, 2005 - 5:28 PM

you got it backwords there

bigger turbo is harder to spool in all conditions, it requires more load to make the turbo boost

and no 3 liter engine is going to make 1200hp daily driven, unless the guy likes to fill up with c16 at around what, $10 a gallon?

-celicast3sgte+Oct 22, 2005 - 8:28 PM

lol, youve never driven a turbo car, have you?

-lagos+Oct 23, 2005 - 2:53 AM

says hes got a 3sgte. ive never heard the term boost cruzing. is that like where its hard to keep your car from building up pressure when you dont want it to?

-CheesyLobster+Oct 23, 2005 - 1:16 AM

you will never be in boost when you are cruizing.

if you are going up a hill, yes(my car hits zero pressure going up a hill if i maintain speed)

if you are accelerating, yes

not if you are simply cruizing on a highway

keep out of boost while crusing. just because you have a 3s doesnt mean your a turbo expert. and i phrased it wrong when i said big turbo i meant a turbo capable of spooling 32psi within the 2jz's powerband is not going to stay out of high boost easy. and when i say out of boost 0-5psi doesnt count because you cant help that. and ive also driven many kinds of turboed cars. 16g DSM, t3/t4 DSM, greddy gt35r supra, yet to drive a 3s but it will have the same characteristics. dont be so judgemental guys its just a post no need for comments like...

I refrained, this one is not mine. . .

celicast3sgte ... im not trying to be rude or a "turbo expert". just wanted to tell you that when your car is curising, you stay in vac, even if you have a big turbo, youll always be in vac when cruising. boost only builds when u want to go faster then the speed you are maintaining.

^^ I can't speak for every turbo car owner... but when I would cruise in the all trac I would tend to stay out of boost... I didn't wanna waste gas >> The ct26 turbo, which is stock on the 3sgte tends to spool up starting around 3800rpm. If I was just cruising, I could keep it under the spool point in order to stay out of boost... pressure is still building though and may cause the BOV to go off even though ur not boosting. heh... My fave thing to do would be to cruise next to some ricer just under boost or just starting to spool and then when they start to take off I'm already at boost and just fly by them >> oooooh I miss that sound *vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom pssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!* >>

i can cruise at 6krpm if i wanted and it would still not make positive pressure

the whole point is no matter what the application, no matter what the turbo, it will not, i repeat, it will not make boost while cruising

and a supra that has a turbo that can push 32psi efficiently does not mean it will make 32psi just by driving the car.

you have to press on the throttle. your right foot is what makes the car boost or not.

full boost comes under full load, full load is when you floor it.
