Okay, after several tries, I have no idea why it can't display all the pics. I coded them all the same way, and tried several ways after that...but you get the point...Ouch. The car ran a 10.1 @ 14X

not all supra turbos are auto , but the autos ARE faster when you drag. its' a rare thing to find with a driver that can shift a stick better tan an auto, espeically with a high boost turbo(most supras in 10's use high boost wit a big single turbo)
As Clam said, not all Supra Turbos are auto. Auto Supras have an advantage at the dragstrip because they don't miss shifts and they can spool the turbos at a standstill. 6 speeds can do this to a certain extent with a 2 stage rev limiter. All the autos have to do is powerbrake and the turbos spool up.
plus when you shift witha turbo, you usually lose a bit of boost and have to bulid it back up, but as i understand with an auto you odn't lose nearly as much boost. plsu with a 10 second car, you have to concentrate on keeping the car straigth much less shifting it

Oh God, don't bring up the dyno queen thing! I get enough of that at you know where.
With an auto you don't lose any boost between shifts. With the 6 speed you can shift real fast and shift without lifting off the gas to minimize losing boost, but that gets real hard on your trans. Plus 6 speed clutches don't withstand a lot of passes at the strip either. And with the price of Supra parts...don't wanna break anything at all!

yes you loose some boost when racing a manual, but there is a solution to that...it is a BOV recirculation kit, which reroutes the booost pressure release of the BOV back into the intake. therefore, not boost is lost

Does anyone have the spreadsheet that shows the pin changes to have a 02-05 manual cluster to work in my 01 is300. The picture online of it is blurry and I can’t make it out. Thanks in advance.
I need a stock front bumper. The ones going for $200 on ebay and such, are those pretty good quality? I know the body kits can be a headache fitment wise.
This is the weirdest issue, I can’t seem to get my car started after finishing my front suspension. I think it has to do with the igniter and other box that both sat on top of the strut mounts when I was installing. There’s a new battery in the car, yet I don’t even see a light when I open the...
Hey everyone! Just purchased my first IS300! Its a 2001 i was wondering if anyone would have any great build ideas. I am wanting around 500hp. I am already doing some water pump replacements and a new head gasket. Guy before me put new timing. I am wandering what turbo i should do and intake...
