Thanks for the tips. What are you running right now?

Check my Mods on my profile. With the stuff I actually have installed, I would think I'm in the mid or low 14's, but I've never dragged the supra, so that's just an edumacated guess.

I think you would be in the low 14's or high 13's with practice. How much boost do you run? Do you have anything to tune your increased fuel pressure?

10 to 13 is a huge range. I plan to be in the 13's (mid to high) with my setup and I dont have 1/3 the stuff on your expensive list. Just do your exhaust, downpipe, intake and turn the boost up to 11 or 12. Go to the track with some decent tires and report back. I think you will be surprised by the numbers. After this point...shit starts getting expensive. Also at this point is when you should work on the driver mod. You can cut your times down ALOT with just practice. There is no substitute for seat time.

Ok thanks. What should I rev it up to, to get good take off? And do I let my clutch out fairly quick or a lil slower because I know if I just drop the clutch I'm gona sit and spin for a while

I'm running completely stock right now. I just bought the car but before I put anything into this car, I wana get some ideas from people that already fixed one up. I know the first thing I'm gona do is tune this car up and change all the fluids and change all the belts and hoses.

MDC Motorsports or Driftmotion both rebuild and upgrade stock CT-26 turbos for our cars. The most popular upgrade would probably be the 57 trim CT-26. You can make over 400 HP on that setup with supporting mods. I'd say you'll be pretty happy with that.

how old are you?

Just curious. You have large dreams and from what I see.. a tight budget with no knowledge.

Have the motor rebuilt with a fresh hone or a bore with new rings or pistons, bearings, MHG and ARP's, surface the head and block at the machine shop. Send your turbo to the listed vendors and get a 57 trim.


You dont know how to even launch your car from a stop light, Why do you want 500rwhp then?

I'm 19. I just bought this car. You launch differently with different cars. i just got out of a 1990 integra rs. my budget is going to open up later this summer. I'm making this car my project while I'm going to get a non turbo supra to drive an play with until my turbo car is done.

I don't recommend anything above ~450 HP as a daily driver, it's going to be somewhat unreliable compared to a stock setup (correctly put together) and hard to drive around without getting yourself in trouble, killing yourself and/or killing others in the process.

Search is going to be your best friend on here. Research what people are doing to their cars, the succes or failure they are having with the said mods, and why this succes or failure is occuring.

You have a lot to learn on here from what I've gathered based on your goals for you car. These are not JZ series engines, they make easy horsepower UP TO A POINT. After that you are looking at having deep pockets to afford the extra power, and the knowledge to make this power work without breaking the engine and starting over from scratch.

Best of luck to you ;).
