Do 240SX Guys hate A70 Supras or Something?

[JDMMA70]

My buddy mike just bought a 93 240SX and i told him to start posting on local 240sx forums to build his knowledge base up on the car. He posted a topic titled "Bolt on SR20 vs Bolt on 7MGTE" now when i saw it i already knew theres was going to be some flamage going on seeing as this was a 240sx forum, but i didnt think they would pull out the jokes on me im just being a calm and friendly car enthusiast. To clarify if a 7M is prepped right for a MHG what are the chances it would blow again? I mean did my post make sound like a douche or something? Even my buddy is Mike is wondering whats wrong with my car.

dont feel bad, take it from a former 240 owner that posts contstanly on said forums, its kindof a right of passage on the 240 forums you should expect a few flames then someone will post some solid knowledge
dont take it to heart

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Aren't they NA 4 bangers? 7MGTE w/ bolt on's would slaughter a 240...

If you do your car right you shouldn't have problems... most people just don't do it right plain and simple.

I figured i get a few flames but i also expected we'd all have knowledge about the ups and downs of each motor. Even i know a little about SR20's yet i dont even have one.

Most guys are running KA-T and SR20's in their 240sx at this point.

to supraofdoom

the sr20 is like the 1jz for a70s. Turbo charged, lower displacement, high revving, and hella more powerful

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I've only had a ride in one 240 w/ a SR20 w/ a pretty decent sized turbo. It felt like a MKIII w/ bolt on's seriously. It may not be typical but from my personal exp it's not even worth your time debating it with them.

 

[88mkIIIproject]

i don't think you sounded like a douche, but this guy sure did:

"what you don't understand is that we know you aren't dissing anything...

BUT we ARE making fun of your MKIII."


don't take it too seriously, its kind of expected on a non-supra forum, right? the only way to settle it would be to race your friend!!

I also have a 240sx, they're nice cars but i still love my supra.

Nope I get props on mine all day long from 240 guys. They seem to like my wheel fitment and exhaust...

It's like you own a 240 except a 240 that weight's like 700 more lbs.

 

[Evilempire1.3JZ-GTE]

Sure they have bolt on SR20s but we have bolt on 2JZGTEs:dunno:
Until there is daily driven 1500HP SR20s I think 2JZGTE will always be more superior along with any supra for that matter.

To be honest I think they are trying to put supras down because they are afraid about being owned by another JZ powered supra.

LOL Yeah pretty much so.. More like the current 240 fad stlyes influenced MK3

 

[RazoE]

im also a former 240 owner..


if you dont have an SR20 (which cranks out a pavement shattering 204 hp......), completely stripped interior and a $4000 suspension, they think your shit is crap...

 

[kHaNg]

former 240 owner too tell him "il see you at the turn BOYEEEE"

they sell bolt up kits for the 2j and 1j for 240s and it honestly fit better in the 240 i dont know why it gust does the only problem is connecting the drive shaft to their rear end witch i think the it might come with the kit ive seen it done so many times and my friend is putting a 2j in his 97 240 now as well.
form most 240 owners i hear that the love are interiors and the body styling they just hate that almost every mkiii looks a like and are head lights, but what do they except really theres not much to chose from on are cars you can probably list every exterior aftermarket style part on half a page

 

[OfnaRcR4]

I get the impression from most car people that they hate Supras. Then i tell ths non car people that my car is an 89 and then chuckle and ask why i don't get a new car. Ignorance is fuck.

My buddy has an sr20det swapped Nissan Sentra. Nasty little car. With 300rwhp in my Supra, I blew his doors off. I can't remember what boost level he was running.

I just kept pulling, and pulling. This was at 15psi on a stock CT26. But every car is going to be different. My friend is also an excellent driver, so rule that out.

He's got a Garret turbo on there now, so we'll see how he does when we both get our cars back on the road.

But whatever man, it's no big deal. As far as I'm concerned, if they're faster, good for them, if not, that's great for us. Who cares? Do it for fun! If you lose, build it better!

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

i really do enjoy a nicely tuned sr20, very nice power band, but I don't really see where supra's and silvia's compare. at all.

 

[blackturbona]

"stock sr with boost controller>stock 7Mgte mkiii."

lolz at that guy.

"my <i>modded</i> car can beat ur stock car!!" ...cool dbag


personally i dont like a lot of 240 owners, there are a lot of them at my school, there not very cool and they are all obsessed with sr20s, doooriftooo!! omgz jdm! and shit like that

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

ok, let me say this. an otherwise stock 7mgte w/ proper exhaust and intake filter should do over 300whp and tq at 12 psi....... that's really cheap hp, especially for having done next to nothing.
