ok, there are no good cars to buy anymore, period. So now im looking into supras, which is the best year/model to buy. Single turbo? Twin Turbo? N/A? I need some advice because this guy is selling his turboed 94 supra for 27k, which I could probably get him to come down another 2k, which is VERY MUCH in my price range for a new car. And I know supra's arent new, but they are my (like many other peoples) dream car. And its not everyday that your dream car can be yours. Anywho, give me some advice guys.



to reply to your question:

get a 94-98 supra twin turbo with a manual tranny. thats basically the top of the line. the single turbo supras you find, means that the ower upgreaded the twins for one single aftermarket turbo. the NA supras are not very fast at all and youll regret not gettting the twin turbo one.

because the stock twins are small and only can do so much . so you take them out and cram one big turbo in there... like so :

or you can upgrade the 2 stock turbos to better ones. it all really depends on your power goals

IMO the best would be a 86' MKII Supra with a 1UZFE

Lightest of the Supras with close to 300HP hehe

well ...yes and no .

no, because the 2 turbos go to the same intercooler and try to cram air into one throttle body.

yes, because some supra owners with high powered turbos (sing or twin) have run so much boost, that it can sometimes be too much air for one bov to let off, so somtimes they add 2 in there. this has nothing to do with a twin turbo car tho. you could put 2 bovs on any turbo car, but it would be dumb, unless you are running more boost then a single bov can let off.

27k for an 11 year old car? Mark IV Supra's are nice but so over priced it isn't even funny....

Here is what I am going to do:

Buy a clean N/A MR2 with high miles.
Add:
3.4 v6 liter tacoma (5vzfe) engine
Have it properly rebuilt
GT35R
MR2T tranny
ATS axels
AEM
new clutch kit
new exhaust
new set of wheels and tires
new suspension

= 500+whp beast for under 20k and be in the high 10's. Projected project completion date: 1/1/07.

That will out handle and blow the doors off most Supras.



oh man....you have sooo been bitten buy the power bug! lol its a crazy addiction, and you always want more and more smile.gif


Now that I have my daily driver nearly done, I need a weekend car wink.gif

I think he means how's a 5vzfe engine thats origionally longitudinally mounted gonna bolt up to a mr-2 tranns that's suitable for engines that are transversely mounted (5sfe)

i think..


They are not mounted longitudinally in a MR2.

i said mr-2 engines are transversely mounted

Yea, and the V6 is transversely mounted when it is placed in the MR2 too....what is your point?

Wow confusing. I think Mike should go back and read Eriks post.
Jay was talking about an MR2 swap and Erik was thinking the original post
"supra". It's all good.
If you want the best Supra go for the 97 15 aniv issue TT.imo
JDM guy made me do it.
