Hey there everyone! I've been playing with supras for almost 10 years now on and off. I recently came across an all original 1990 supra turbo targa auto with 92,xxx miles. It had been sitting in someones back yard since the year 2000 lol. i stole the car for 600 bucks, it did not run and the interior was completely shot. I threw in an efi fuse and a fuel pump and she started right up after sitting for about a decade. Luckily for me, i happen to have an 87 parts car with a superb blue interior, so i swapped the dash, seats, center console, pretty much everything over. i drove the car all summer enjoying the stock boost levels lol, replaced a few things here and there such as an CSF race rad, all the coolant lines and some fluid changes. All of a sudden the car started smoking a good amount so hence this teardown. What a thought was just a bhg turned into a motor swap once i found out cylinders 1 and 6 had major pitting. And even luckier for me i happen to have a 3rd motor that was a jdm import. This came out of one of my older supras. I redid the head, changed the stem seals, installed bbc comp springs, and checked all the clearances.
So for this supra it is getting just basically put back together with a few upgrades. My goal with this car is to have a emmisions legal car with makes anywhere from 375-425hp. low 12's would be nice in the 1/4 too. I will be using stock injectors for now, with a fuel lab fpr. I scored a Borg Warner S256 from albert on the forum so i will be using that with an adapter and a precision 39mm wastegate recirculated into the exhaust. The intercooler tubes will all be getting replaced with Samco Sport ones. i have a set of rims and tires i got off this forum also, they are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. It is getting lowered with Eibach springs, new KYB struts and mounts all around. My parts car has a 255 walbro in the tank, ST sway bars, and a full exhaust with an Apexi N1 muffler. It also has an R154 with a new clutch DM full length line, new clutch master and slave. Im torn whether or not i want to keep the auto or toss in the manual. I have a suprastick stand alone trans controller that i could use for the auto but im still not sure what i want to do with a trans. i have some plans for a decent sound system. i also changed every bulb to a white led. im sure im forgetting things but on to pics.
This is an example of what id like my car to look like.
