I'm planning to keep this car for a very long time and I want to make it the v6 beast it is. so I did some research about either swapping or doing a whole new engine rebuild and decided to go with a whole new rebuild for my horsepower goals which are around 700-800hp. I was wondering what I would have to do/buy to achieve this hp range and where I would acquire these parts I live in Canada, Alberta. I really don't care how long or how much its going to cost me like I said im planning to keep this car for a very long time and I doubt I will ever be getting rid of it.

Thanks
OUCH!!! First of all, it's NOT a V6. Horror of Horrors! It's an INLINE-SIX, for goodness sakes!!!

Do you meann 700hp at the crank or 800hp at the crank or 700rwhp or 800rwhp? All of those are different.

Secondly, do you just want the horsepower, or do you want all of the complimentary systems that will help you SAFELY DRIVE AROUND with that horsepower (brakes+abs, suspension, etc.)? If you want the second one and not just the horsepower, you'll find that it will be cheaper to sell your n/a and start with a TT. Just warning you ahead of time...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
