@@xdzombiezz4163 I was just stating that it sounds ridiculous in comparison that one says that modified cars are not reliable the other build from them bottom up and are reliable such a contrast.
@@DulceSeekerlook at how long Dahm has been working on it. Changing it constantly. Always back to the drawing board. What this Rob is saying that it makes sense to just leave it stock and get something of equal performance. There ain’t nothing wrong with modding it but you always have that what if in the back of your head.
I don’t know man….I drove my highly modded single turbo 2JZGTE Mk3 Supra from Michigan to NYC with no issues (except for a fuel line letting go, of which I fixed on the side of a NJ road and got back up a running). Other than that, no issues; ran strong. Then again, I built the car myself….which I trust.
Single it. Less to go wrong. More reliable. I love twins, but it’s just a lot of heat and a lot of moving parts. Not to mention the routing for the waste gates. Got guys running 70 trims turbos making the same as what we did on GT47-80s and 88s. Until we went full tilt and spray to build boost.
Well, as far as test & tunes go, Atco Raceway is now closed too. So the ONLY drag strip in NJ now is Island Dragway. So, if that place is closed too, or you can’t go there, unless you’re heading up to the Poconos in PA, good luck getting to another one!
I know you are kinda all over the Supra game, but if you GC’ed this build like you did your house build trying to save a penny to cost yourself a quarter later, than there your go.
A beautiful car. When I was a youngster (17) I had a 1972 Toyota celiac ST. Man I loved that car and yes I drove that car till it went for hot rod parts. Mainly the dash.
I understand that modified vehicles are less reliable. That's a given. But, at the same time, shops have been modifying and tuning these cars for more than 2 decades. There's no excuse for not getting it right by now.
Its crazy that you made similar HP at 16 lbs of boost as I do with bolt ons minus cam; and your engine alone is worth more than my current car, engine upgrades, aero upgrades, and last 2 cars combined (one of which was a GT-ST Skyline). My current car is still under warranty.
100k if you never do your own labor Rob lol some people have the shops machine and they do everything else at home. 100k to them ≠ 100k to you. sir. Not the same lol
Amateur Question : If you pop the hood without releasing it from inside the car, can't someone just come along a take all those expensive bits from the engine ? Note : I know nothing
Holy crap I still remember this Supra from a decade+ ago when I was a kid when I started watching Rob, such a nostalgia hit and I’m glad to see its still around
@@javierflores1075I’m pretty sure he bought this one which was just sitting for years then the other one got flooded Edit : nevermind I think your right actually
