I need tons of help with this because its my first supra, but im trying to find exactly what parts i need to convert this to a 5 speed, and also if i should just look for a new engine that is the turbo one, or just buy a turbo...ive hurd the turbo and non turbo engines have alot of differences about them, and im really confused.

HELP A NOOBIE.

Quite honestly.. I would find a 5 speed and sell the auto.. save yourself the headache. Failing that, if you can find a 5 speed with an excellent body (very rare) and crappy drivetrain... well.. you get the picture.

What you are considering is fairly advanced work (just thinking about the "noobie" part... ) If I had the info, I would put it to you, but I just wouldn't consider it with a Supra. Maybe thats just me. : )

Good luck if you go with it though!
