I recently acquired a 1990 toyota supra non-turbo model that i would like to restore the body on (it has a little tiny bit of rust over the passenger rear wheel well) and make a Drag Racer/Daily Driver out of. So I've got a few questions about engine choices.
First, Which engine should i go with? Some things to keep in mind:
Second, I would like it to be a Daily Driver, but its not a must. Will this car be able to be a Daily Driver in northern Illinois? for late spring, summer, and early Fall, or will gas become a major issue?
Third, Does anyone know if i need to run a cat on a 1990? I don't have to do emissions since its not required for this car in IL, as far as I know.
If i think of more i'll post about it.
First, Which engine should i go with? Some things to keep in mind:
- Will hold 550 RWHP, comfortably, with minimal modification (no larger bore or stroke).
- The engine will not be a 1JZ.
- I would like to do mid to low-11s, so the more torque I can obtain, the better.
