Here are some more information for Non Turbo:

First off, the fuel we run in our cars currently is technically E10. As determined by the federal government, 10% of the fuel out of a gas pump is ethanol. Corn to ethanol is currently subsidized by our government and thusly, they require there be the maximum amount possible in all gasoline that will not cause any harm to non-ethanol compatible cars. This brings me to my first point, ethanol is not harmful to any modern engine. Even carburetor, non-computer controlled engines can use ethanol, they just must be tuned for it. Ethanol has an octane rating of 104-105 and thus, is useable in any street car application. There comes two problems using ethanol in a non-compatible car: gas tank and fuel lines. Ethanol, as with most alcohols, absorbs water really well. Because of this, cars that see a lot of ethanol use will often see water build-up in the fuel tank or gunk build-up in the carburator. Secondly, fuel lines in most cars are a basic rubber hosing. Ethanol wll cause "drying" of the hose which will prematurely deteriorate the lines to an eventual cracking. Without switching to proper hoses, a few years of ethanol use will trash your fuel lines and you'll need to replace them.

Next, many people have mentioned on various forums that in the past few years, they've seen a slight degradation of fuel mileage as more and more gas stations have switched to 10% ethanol in the gas. Note what I said above about octane rating and make sure you understand that octane does not mean power. Octane is gasoline's resistance to exploding when compressed. What 104 octane means is that you can compress a gas much more (and in turn, add more oxygen to the mixture) without the mixture detonating before the engine spark. Cars that are tuned for very high compression like race cars or cars with turbo/super-chargers, for example, will see almost the same fuel mileage as that of "regular" pump gas if not better. Cars that aren't tuned to use the high-compression properties of gas with ethanol in it will see a decrease in performance becuase ethanol actually contains less energy in it's chemical bonds. Because of this, though the cost of ethanol in gasoline brings the price down some, it also creates less power and in turn lowers gas mileage. In the end, it's a wash.

Lastly, are we getting screwed by ethanol in our gasoline? As always, the answer is complicated, but it boils down to a resounding YES. The government is subsidizing millions of gallons of ethanol a year (created from corn harvests) which in turn raises the price of corn that you and I consume, as well as the cows and other live stock in the country. The benefits are barely cheaper gas and barely cleaner emissions (automakers have done more in engine improvements in the last 5 years to reduce carbon emission than switching cars to ethanol has done or will do). On the benefit side of things, you have people who run VERY high performance cars get a bump in horsepower and those who run forced induction cars (Mini Cooper S, Mazdaspeed 3, etc.) get a nice bump in horsepower and maybe even mileage if the car is tuned right. So, with all this said, I'd be perfectly happy if E85 went away tomorrow. I like my petrol. I love diesel. Electric cars based on renewable energy sources are the way of the future. Ethanol may be great for countries like Brazil that are crop heavy and automobile-population light, but the large, mobile population of the US needs are fuel source not linked to our food supply. Someday when we can make ethanol from garbage and other biomass, it may be a great option, but right now it's a less than optimal solution.

The real Cost of Turbo Conversions

Turbo kits are also available for certain cars so you can get all the complete parts in one package. The problem with that however is you lose all sense of customization and the turbo kit may not give you the best value for your money. These kits cost ranges from $2000 to $4000 depending on the type of car, what the kit contains and if you will install it yourself or have a professional install done for you.

Converting your car from non-turbo performance to a turbo car performance in a proper way would cost thousands of dollars. Why is this? This is because you would have to replace almost everything within the engine bay when converting your car from a non-turbo to turbo. First, you would have to choose an engine and the possibilities here would be endless. If you choose to stick with what you have and it would most likely be an aspirated one then you would have to adjust the level of compression level within the engine to 7.5:1 so that your engine would be able to handle the heat and the pressure that turbo boost would generate. You would have to purchase stainless steel valves for the cylinder head to attain durability and forged pistons and total-seal rings to ensure reliability and performance. Not to mention having the car's fuel management changed to fuel injection.

After preparing the car for turbo conversion and installing a turbo charger then you would have to purchase a lot more parts. Not only would it be a source of a head ache because there are so many to choose from, but it would also be very expensive. You would have to buy a waste gate, fabricate a turbo exhaust manifold, boost controllers, boost valves, compressor by pass valves and inter cooler pipe work to name a few. Fuel injector parts are also usually upgraded. This is why it is tempting to just partially carry out a turbo conversion on a car; this however may result in you spending even more money than just properly converting the non-turbo car into a high performance turbo car.

The true cost of turbo conversion is high, but the value you get for your money in terms of performance gain is just as high too. Turbo kits can give you a good turbo boost but it would be a rare find to be able to purchase one off the shelf. Having a custom kit for your car is also a good idea. Just remember when you are in doubt of spending all that money that a well built; properly turbo charged car would give the owner the performance of a life time out of his or her car.

Whats the difference between a Toyota supra non turbo and a turbo?

Do the the turbos go faster and are they better to get if you are gonna race with it? What would the price be around on a 1999 toyota supra turbo?
and are under car lights illegal in NY?

Yes, the Turbos make more Horsepower.

The main difference between the two is that one has a Turob and one does not.

As someone else noted you can't get a 1999 Supra.

The last model years they imported to the US were 93-98. These are the most highly desired Supras. They have made well over a 1,000 HP at the rear wheels on stock internals.

These guys are beasts and can handle anything you can throw at them. Plus they have a HUGE aftermarket following.

If you do find one, prepare to pay out the nose. I have seen Stockers go for over 40K. Modified ones have seen prices over 100K.

But you might find them anywhere 20K to 50K.

Yes undercar Lights are illegal.

New CEO Bernard takes the bull by the horns in IndyCar
Randy Bernard, the new CEO of the Indy Racing League, made all the requisite stops on Friday at Kansas Speedway, where today he will watch the first IZOD IndyCar oval race of his life. In the morning, Bernard attended the ceremonial groundbreaking for the Hollywood Casino that will be built overlooking the speedway. He then visited garages and met with drivers, team owners, sponsors and race ...
