Wow! Very comprehensive thread. Thanks a ton!

Good day, gents. I'll begin with an introduction, my name is Kevin. For the past two years, I've owned a Porsche 944, and decided it's time to pass the fun on, and maybe get some power. I have a friend who has a 87 (not 86.5) Supra Turbo, which is a bit older. We're doing a trade, and I'm...

Assuming we're starting with a 7M-GTE with a kinda tired stock turbo, would it make more sense to do a total turbo upgrade, including fmic, turbo, downpipe etc. the whole shebang, or just buy a 1JZ-GTTE? They are damn cheap on eBay, like 1,300 shipped:icon_surp The car is an '87 with 7M-GTE...

Yeah, one of the intake hoses has a crack or whatever, so he opened the wastegate. He's getting a new one soon lol.

Well guys, I'm gonna describe a race from the losers point of view. I'm in my 944 and my buddy's in his '87 Supra drivin around. I see him and make my way over to him. We get to a good stoplight, we both rev our engines (this is when I noticed how much that 7M hates to rev ;) ) and it turns...

I've definately heard of that notorious BHG, I've been lurking a while :) Rod knock? Hm. Lemme fire up the search engine.

Well I certainly have some incentive, he's makin it worth my while. Also, I'm shipping out to Boot June 4th, so I figure I'd rather have fun with something new in the meantime.

Trust me I know. Some bonehead at AAMCO Transmissions in Ames, IA swapped out the clutch for the previous owner, and forgot to torque the flywheel bolts:icon_mad: We had to drop the trans, torque tube, axleshafts, move the engine, urrgh Fun to drive though. lol

There's my baby :) I've also got a truck for the winter, so I'm set there. It handles like its on rails, and is 2,600lbs... nice and quick, but frankly it does lack power ha. My friend has been wishing he had handling, and I've been wishing I had power, so that's why we're trading.

Hey guys, I'm going to be trading my '83 Porsche 944 for my friend's '87 Supra, and wanted to read up on some possibilities. I'll probably put another post up about my plans with the new Supra, but I live in Iowa and am turning 18 this weekend. Wanna know anything else? feel free to ask.
