Hi,I am thinking of buying a supra MKIII turbo and have some qusetions,I had a nissan 1984 300zx turbo for about a year,and then nearly totaled it out[about a month ago],I know a retired body guy that might be able to help me bend the body back and fix it,[I might get it done before hell freezes over but maybe not]anyhow I am thinking of a supra MkIII turbo as a replacement[can't afford a mkIV] how does the MKIII compare to the Z?

They both have the same power stock about 200bhp,from what I looked up,but teh Z you could just install a manual Boost controller,K&N cone filter,turn the boost to 8-10psi[stock was around 5],and you had around 240 RWHP,Can you do easy mods to a supra to get that power?

You could also get the Z up to 400RWHP relitivly easy,with the mods above you just needed to add a hybrid turbo[500]intercooler [400]walbro fuel pump 100,racing clutch 3500,MAF 350, and a few other mods an viola for around 2000 you could have 400RWHP,can you easly and affordably get the supra to have that power?my Z was stock running around 8-10 psi,when totaled it, about a month before I was going to start the overhaul.now since I have to buy the supra first I won't have the money to mod it for a while but I hear there is a lot of potential for the supra,but is it affordable potential?

Also how does it handle compared to the Z?Everybody says that the Z's handle great compared to other cars [mine handled pretty good but the fron't struts were going out]but I havn't driven many other cars to compare.

One last question,you guys\girls say the supra is heavy,but the Z weighed around 3100 stock and is considred relitivly light,but the supra is called heavy but only weighs 300lbs more,I mean thats only 2 small pasengers or one big one,does it realy affect performance noticably?I am not talking drag racing and 10ths of a second but normal cruising\road racing.

Thanks for the answers,I did try to search but didn't find anything.
Oh here is the link for the car.
How much do you htink it's worth?

Thanks.
