So I just traded my s2000 for a 96 Supra (no turbo) and am going to attempt to do the majority of the work on my own as opposed to paying it to be done for me like I have done in the past.

What I really need to know, is besides the obvious (going with a turbo), what else can I and should I do? Should I go for an engine swap or just upgrade the stock engine? The engine has 81k miles on it so I am not entirely sure what to do with that. I have a bunch of ideas of what I am going to do with the exterior cosmetics. I am pretty sure that I will go with a Veilside body kit, carbon fiber hood, doors, and fairings, and then lambo the carbon fiber doors.

The other question I would have is what do I do with the interior...I have seen some pictures of Supra's at car shows that have completely scrapped the dash and gone with fiberglass fabrications with gauges, etc. but kind of wanted to know what others in the Supra community thought of things like that.

Anyways...sorry for this being so long, as you can tell I'm kinda excited. I stumbled along this car just 2 days after getting the s2000 and the guy I bought it from was selling my dream car for a price I couldn't refuse and the Carfax was clean and had documentation of the car being inspected.

So if anyone has any help they could throw my way (primarily engine-wise) what would be AWSOME

I'm no Supra expert, but aiming for 9-10s will require about 5-600hp. You also require a roll cage at those times.
You'll need the accompanying mods for that power and speed so price in a big bake kit, suspension work and (many) HD clutch just to name a few.

you want a 9-10 second car so you bought a naturally aspirated supra.

... is it just me, or am I missing something here?

Oh dear.

Well the spambot ain't the smartest thing around. Though mbruce seems to think that it is copying post from others, so I wonder who originally asked the question in this case.

The questions come from other forums. For example...

lol tocau is really starting to rake in the spambots.

furthermore, a large amount is blown on a GTR in japan just to make it run 9 seconds. this lisa whatever stands no chance of doing so. even if he and his other spam bot buddies chipped in

Why not make it 7.94 seconds, LOL:

Dumbazz spambots they might actually get a few bites if there questions and requests were not so farking ridiculous.How do we stop these idiots launching spambots onto our forum,i would chip with the rest of the members to pay some P.C NERD to sit at home on his souped up computer on search & destroy missions on anything untoward our forum or website.

Why stop at 7.94, when you can get 6.97 from less cylinders

Damn. That thing was wild. I wonder how they figured it could take 86 PSI and rev up to 11,000 RPM.

Pfft, I've seen a high-6 second pass with NO PISTONS!. Pity he doesn't tune any of his own cars

Hey, if it works in Fast and the Furious, it must work in real-life, right?

Right?

2JayZee no sheeeeeet

Needs moar Motec Exhaust. Don't worry, I'll overnight it from Japan.

Better watch the danger to the manifold too. It could cause your floor to fall off.

It's not how you race your car, it's how you stand by your car.

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

And to move onto 2 Lame 2 Furious quotes.
He did the stare and drive on you, didn't he? He got that from me.

So, Dunn, looks like we're gonna be partners, bro. Could you tell me right quick what would be a better motor for my Skyline, a Gallo 12 or a Gallo 24?

ah...24?

I didn't know pizza places made motors

Damn, these forums just got a lot more fun.

This beast's got 500-horsepower and a Borla exhaust system. It does 0-60 in what, 4.3 seconds?


The pic Hiro posted is classic though

hahahaha hiro for president.
funniest thing i have seen in a long time.

Could swap a RB26 in? Worked for the Mustang...

As long as it has a Motec exhaust

Would at least need a RB26/RB30 combo, running a T60...

saw the new one last night.
not as many funny comments.

first of all , I would like to salute you for your amazing thinking ( Dream ) in fact I always consider Supra's to be one of the Smartest options for modification .

let me give you a quick idea that will take you a way beyond 500HP

first of all I’m assuming that you already having 2jz as the engine for your car

a lot of sites out there give you complete projects to modify your supra

as a start I suggest that you put a target in mind about whether you are willing to keep in as off-road , or street legal supra .

I highly recommend that you remove the TT and think seriously of adding a big single Turbo specially T88 ( I adore this one )

anyways you have to take into consideration a lot of things

Single turbo
Custom downpipe and mid-pipe
oil feed and return lines
install block-off plates
gear + transmission
intercooler
Suspension, Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
Greddy Profec Type-S boost controller
along with so many things ( many but not complicated if you knew the right car shop that can help you in ordering parts + installation )


I know some guys in my area managed to reach 1200HP with 2JZ without stroker ( 3L only )

anyways I highly recommend that you browse a lot of such sites to give you an idea of where shall you start . by the way if you don’t have the time , you can just buy a fully modified supra available in many sites designed to sell modified supra’s only


God Bless the Supra 4ever

^ Nader: I hope you didn't spend too long on that post. Unfortunately you may not have been around at the time that we were getting all these posts from spam-bots. This Lisa happens to be one of them. Oh well, I guess once someone sifts through the Fast and the Furious comedy, they will come across one useful answer.

Nader your a stooge

anyways thanks

Let this go. Before it's too late

It's already too late....



Probably the only thing I cringed at, apart from the cheesy "appreciate a fine body regardless of the make" line, the description of Dom's perfect girl before that was great though, swap the %s and it'd be the same for me.

Hahahaha... i only just found this.
In the spirit of keeping trolling alive on tocau, allow me to serenade you all.... ahem..

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Tokyo,
If you seen it then you mean it
Then you know you have to go.

Fast and furious... Drift, Drift, Drift!!!

Of late, Vin Diesel seems to excel at 0 - 15cm times.

you see him come and go out of the black Benz SLR
You wonder where he get that kind of money?
Don't worry about it
Lets go

I know this is only spam but for anyone actually thinking of doing this I have added to some of the above post
