Geo's Street Driven Drag Supra Build Recipe

Geo's Street Driven 6 Second Drag Supra Build Recipe

Geo has always loved building fast Supras. You may remember his grey 6spd car from 2012 or his silver TH400 car from 2014. But he set the bar high for his newest Supra. This time he wanted to build a car that could drive to the track, run 6's, last rounds in an event, and drive home without towing it. Then put it through the ultimate street car test at Hotrod Drag Week.

  • Goal: Streetable 6 Second Car
  • Tire: 275 Radial
  • Fuel: Ethanol & Methanol
  • Personal Best: 6.77@209mph

Below you will find the parts list this car used to go 6.77@209mph and completed Drag Week with a 7 second average and 2nd place finish with a sealed engine.



1. Engine Block

Overview

To go 6's in a 3100lb Full Chassis Supra we knew it would probably take somewhere around 1800whp through a TH400 automatic. Typically at this level it would be appropriate to strengthen the stock block casing by filling the water jackets with cement, or swaping to an aftermarket solid billet block with no water jackets to provide further strength around the cylinders by eliminating the voids that would normally be there for engine cooling.

However, in this case since Geo wanted to be able to drive the car to the track (and the 1000 miles of street driving during Hot Rod Drag Week), we would absolutely need the coolant passages in the block to keep the car from overheating while driving from state to state. So we made the decision to stick with the stock block casing without using any cement filler, mimicking what 99% of our customers will be running.

  • Displacement: 3.2L
  • Compression Ratio: 10.0:1
  • Bore Diameter: 86.5mm (0.020" Over)
  • Rod Length: 5.590" (Std)
  • Rod: Aluminum
  • Stroke: 90mm
  • Billet Main Caps

We knew this car was going to need more power than we have ever made before to be able to go 6's. So we started with our race series RS1600 engine with billet main caps, our Real Street RS2000 heavy duty pistons, a brian crower 90mm stroker crank, and aluminum rods. 

Since this car needs to be able to compete round after round day after day at Hotrod Drag Week, we decided to get the Brian Crower 90mm stroker crank and R&R aluminum connecting rods with a smaller honda-sized rod journal to slow bearing speed and increase longevity. The smaller rod journal bore also allows R&R to make the rod beefier around the rod journal increasing its strength in that area.

Because this engine goes down the track in an RPM window near 10,000rpm, maintaining oil pressure through the traps can become challenging using the oem oil pump. So we decided to go with a PHR Dry Sump kit to keep the oil where the engine needs it.

2. Engine Head

Overview

This car has gone 7.03 and 6.91 on two different heads.

When the car went 7.03, it had a hand ported head with Brian Crower Stage 3+ 276/276 camshafts, Ferrea 1mm oversized valves, and Ferrea High Boost Valve Springs & Retainers.

When the car recently went 6.91, we had recently switched to a Mazworx CNC ported head with GSC 7030R2 camshafts and Supertech 118lb springs and retainers. We will have these heads available for purchase soon. Please contact us for details in the meantime.

3. Drivetrain

Overview

The transmission is a 3speed M&M TH400 Automatic with a ProTorque converter. A driveshaft shop aluminum driveshaft transmits the power to a custom 4-linked Ford 9" rear end.

Since our rear end setup was custom fabricated at a chassis shop, and is not a bolt-in unit, we can't really list it for sale below, but in an effort to help make things easier we will include what is currently the next best thing, which is the Driveshaft Shop IRS Ford 9" rear end conversion kit for the Supra. This will keep your rear end style IRS instead of solid axle. If someone ends up mass producing a bolt-in solid axle kit, we will come back and update this part with that.

4. Fuel System

Overview

The fuel system is composed of two sets of Injector Dynamics ID1700x injectors being fed "One Ethanol" fuel from a Weldon 16000A fuel pump. Since this setup gets pushed to its max just about every time it's ran, the fuel we run it on is One Ethanol 117R. This lets us stop worrying about fuel quality and focus on driving the car down the track.

5. Turbo Setup

Overview

When we needed a turbo that could make 1800+whp but still spool up reasonably fast on the trans brake and survive the abuse of competitive racing, we turned to the Precision Pro Mod 88 XPR when racing Drag Week. It has an 88mm inducer on the compressor wheel, and a 108mm exducer on the turbine wheel. We went with the optional stainless steel 1.15 A/R SFI V-band turbine housing for added safety in the event that the turbo eventually encounters a failure during racing. Boost is regulated by a pair of Precision 46mm wastegates being controlled by the Motec M150.

Occasionally we will swap the turbo out for a smaller 76mm Precision ProMod when racing at certain events with have different rules. Occasionally the class rules will limit the turbo size and weight for our suspension so that turbo comes out during those events. 

We have also started experimenting with an 85mm Precision ProMod that we will post information for soon, once we have vetted it's abilities.

6. Engine Management System

Overview

A Motec M150 run's the engine program in this supra. Data from a long list of sensors is displayed for Geo on the Motec C125 digital dash. The Motec controls boost and nitrous by speed, allowing the engine to make more power as the traction will allow for it. It also controls the trans break and bump box for precise launch control.
