Not to worry you, but when I see cheap parts on a Supra I get a little skeered. :)

My car is at 400 rwhp at 14 psi right now. Wasn't an easy walk to get it there. Lots of little mistakes along the way. Sheedy's advice is correct, but I would skip the CT26 and go T4 right off the bat unless $$ is an issue. Also, you should plan for a stand alone right from the start because...

I wouldn't personally be running an engine I wanted to keep if you suspect a BHG. Simply because of the corrosive ability of the exhaust/cooalant mix. The test is pretty cheap (I bought the kit from amazon for 65.00) and can be used 100's of times really. If you like your block, find out if you...

I think that they stopped rebuilding them due to parts availability. That was them confirming my trans is a stage 3, I just made it into a page for my records.

Car's running properly... the rad cap was letting coolant out.. put a new one on, so all should be good now. Only drove it for 30'ish minutes since new R154 installed and speedo gear corrected. New center support bearing feels nice (driveshaft). I forget sometimes how much this puppy can pull on...

Oil is oil ... kinda. Your questions should include the fact that your in Cape Coral... that it gets hot (or not) and how you drive. If you are using the car as a DD, then any 10W30 will do you providing you change it. If its sitting for long periods I prefer Synthetic just because the additives...

Stance and HSD are basically the same (more or less). I put HSD coilovers on my car. So far they are excellent. Very adjustable, and I find I have mine on 6/18 on front/rears right now so my wife wont complain. On 12/18 stiffness the car skips across bumps on the highway... very harsh.. I...

That, sir... is a beauty. I have had 17 and 18's on my car (18's currently) and they all work well. My final will be 17" rear and 18" front as I want to gain back a little of the sidewall on the rears. If you go to my build thread and look at what my car was originally when I bought it, those...

The whites come with adjustable end links I beleive, whereas the tanabe do not. Not sure if that's critical...

Your fluids should be changed, and I usually squeeze a but of oil into each spark plug hole and let it sit for a while to penetrate a bit. Not too much just enough to cover the Pistons and touch the cylinder wall. Moisture can get in there and create a rust film. Check the hoses and belts to...

From that chart, are the white sway bars best to go with? Heavier but look like more support...

Ct26 upgrades are more typically 300-350 although some claim 400. However, the ct26/550 injector/lexus AFM are matched to properly "confuse" the ECU which is why it works so well. They still have issues with running overly rich and the ct26 housing being too small for the upper 350-400 RWHP...

I would recommend you don't do this at all really. It's more work than it's worth. You will have to modify a bit to fit the turbo on and without proper fuel control (no idea how safe the SAFC is) your risking the engine. You have to have oil lines made, clock the turbo correctly, protect...

I don't know if you have to drop the tank completely, but you do have to drop it. (Going by memory) It's not really difficult on our cars really. I think it took me an hour using lots of penetrating fluid on the pins with 2x4's and a jack to drop it slowly. I replaced the full pipe gasket at...

As long as the air is metered after the BOV (not before) then it wont be an issue because you aren't adding fuel for air that isn't there. That's the critical part. As for the SAFC, I have no experience with that, but I think that 400 rwhp is about 525-550 crank hp (??) so you may be pushing...

Bigger turbo is usually more lag. I run the HKS long runner T4 manifold but I think those are rare finds. Don't vent to atmosphere while running the AFM setup. The air is metered before the BOV so that causes trouble.

My 7M kicks ass but it doesn't truly hit until 4200 rpm... I miss the 3200 rpm pull... But it's nice to have the pull go all the way to redline without the falloff that the ct26 suffers from due to the small housing. It's very well suited to the 7m though considering the lower RPM. The torque on...

From my supra journey... The most fun is a ct26 upgrade running 300-350 at the wheels. Quick pulls and a lot of "yeehaw!". Huge power usually trades some of the fun with later more powerful pulls, but the fun factor is a bit less because you gotta be a lot better controlled. More focus on safety...

Some TLC, money, determination and elbow grease. Amazing what the results are.

I paid 300 for mine from Japan. They just need a little buffing to look really good. Was 3 day shipping.
