get a lexus afm

^^^ I would not bother with the lexus afm on a n/a engine. It won't really get you anything, as on a turbo motor. Also you'll need larger injectors to enjoy the lexus afm.

i didnt realize that we were talking about a na and no you do not have to have bigger injecters although it helps but i had the lafm on my car and boosted 16 lbs on stock turbo plus it helps stop fuel cut

True, But i know wit my friends camaro, tpi and running 10:1 pistons, on regular gas you never hear a ping or knock or anything, it runs beautiful. its just because the knock sensors and computer are fast/good enough to prevent it. but like you said there is power loss...so it does help to run higher octane if your compression is higher than about 9:1. But my point is (to others) that just because you dont hear the pinging, doesnt mean its not retarding the timing.

"(MSD being that thing that makes the plug discharge more than once, right? I could also use some explination on this)"

God bless the forums. Too bad I'm probably the only dominican in here, heh. But I'll make ya guys proud of my Supra! =P

My n/a has plenty of power to get sideways, loop, spin wheels in 2nd gear, whatever you want really lol. MSD is a company, and i think what most people would be referring to is an aftermaket igniton coil, i guess. Also get a new cap and rotor, since the n/a has a distributor.

Yes by us si the same..Many "users" buy Supra, drive it and immediatelly ask me for more power - how to upgrade, which turbochrger to change , inejctors etc..

everytime I answered, "at first you must take you Supra to good condition, and you will see more power.."

My expierience is, that most of buyed supras has blown head gasket, or bad piston rings and about 90% has crankshaft bearing and crankshaft damaged...

Yeah I am getting an 89' or 90' supra in 1 year and a half and is there any supras that are manual with targa tops or is it just all automatics...?
Because all of the supras that I have looked at are automatic with targas because I hell wanna get some because my brother drives a 1993 Nissan 300ZX Man Targa and it is hell good.
I am only 15 atm but am a car fanatic, when I get the supra I am gonna replace all parts first for instance head gasket with copper/metal gasket, belts and then chuck a stezza system in with a pioneer head unit and a couple of 4 way 6x9s and yeah just take it from there, maybe king springs and coils, lowered, K&N Air Pod and Exhaust tip.

well to begin, the mk3 came in all combos: NA/turbo, manual/auto tranny, hardtop targa top. i have an 88 na mantranny, and a 87 turbo mantranny. as for the parts, looks like a good start with hg and belts. you also may want to look into replacing the vacuum hoses. you can buy a generic kit or whatever. i gotta system im tryin to sell if you're interested. pm me

am i the only one having a hard time finding performance parts? e-bay has been good to me, but thats about it

jaysun · 04-30-2006, 01:45 AM

the headgasket and intake, a good ecu, maybe some new 50w oil and some stp. that will help you out a little. do some light weight deduction. replace some of your old piping and exuast and your car should be faster. i saw some intake parts (custom intake parts) at pepboys but its really low quality, i guess it does the same thing. its not metal its cheap plastic. thats a cheap way to get a custom intake
