How come so few 1500hp LSx's?
#23
I thought Imports were expensive. It shouldnt take $60,000 for any car to make than much power. Hell supras,skylines,350z's, etc... can make that for alot less. You can make 1500hp from a Supra easily, even without there stroker kit.

I say for under 35,000, you can have a 1500hp Supra,Skyline or 350z. Its been done.

You might be able to make 1500 with a shot of gas on there. But I would assume the boost presures would drop towards redline. I think the 350z that makes 1800rwhp is using some twin setup, not sure though.

When you factor in the transmission, rear-end, and all the suspension parts that enable the car to actually use the horsepower without breaking every run, the cost adds up very quickly. Bob

yeah 1500 is a lot of power. and probably impossible to keep on the street. not to mention probably breaking stuff all the time. I had 1000hp dreams, but then after realizing how much more money is involved and time and effort to keep the car running and everyday streetable, it wasnt worth it. I then rode in a procharged 370 running ***** to the walls making 750rwhp, and that is scarey. plus I am going with a 408 and a D1SC once I get the rearend purchased. I should get 750rwhp or close to that without stressing the supercharger too much or without stressing the motor that much as well. that is my goal. longevity.

make me a supra that has 1500 HP that can cut 1.20 60's and run 5.20's and drive it to the track for 35k$... i'll buy it
thats a ******* joke...
for that matter make me any car that can do that and drive 150 miles per week.
its easy to make the power but trying to use get all of it to the ground and make it dependable... hell no...

Stock rear end/6sp supras have run mid 8's and the fastest supra based platform has run mid 6's with over 1800hp. Theres nothing on the 1800hp supras that I cant go buy from Titan Motorspors, Autobahn Motorsports, Virtual Works, etc....
Without the cost of the supra, you can come close to 1500hp for about $35,000. I know people that have made 12-1300hp and turned around and sold there supra for 70K and still profited with the price of performance included. The only difference between 1300 and 1500 is the size of the turbo. Shouldnt be hard to accomplish.

+1 and how long do these 1500 rwhp supras actually hold together? Like seriously 35K into a supra with 1500-1800 rwhp doesnt seem like it would last that long.

Let's not go off on a big Supra tangent, because this is not a Supra board and 99% of the folks on here don't care.
Making 1500hp and having the drivetrain together costs a lot of money.

next for all those 6 second supra "platform" cars you mentioned, they are full tube chaisis cars, not really the same class, they didnt even start out from a titled car. has a titled supra got into the 6's? we got W2W's casper.
most of us ls1tech guys dont car about the HP they make, they are only concered about running the number, most big players here dont even get dynoed.. we have worm boy, the ohio boys, major spray and tom F'n keif, all running low eights or high-mid sevens on stock suspension running rounds, not one pass wonders.
25psi you are so close to a ban for your trolling and misinformation, you need to pipe down
