Cool Best bang for your buck aftermarket supra parts

I recently bought a 1987 supra. And i was looking to add some upgrades to make some more power. what would you guys reccomend for the aftermarket parts that will give you alot of power for not alot of money. Basically I wanna know what to put on to get more power except for a turbo because i dont got the money now. soif you could give me some of the best aftermarket parts for a 87 non turbo supra thatd be great.

If u got a NA dont expect alot of power. Intake, exhaust and tune-up will maybe give u 10-25hp more. Oh and hi-octane. he-he. Fun.

I'd suggest looking into replacing the headgasket before anything else, and any maintenance issues should be taken care of before looking for more power.

you don't have to replace the headgasket unless your going to go for major horsepower or if your car has a lot of miles on it

i have a N/A and i have a K&N cold air kit, 2 1/2" catback exhaust. i also blocked off the EGR valve and i loosened the tension of the spring in the AFM.

this next month i'm getting a header, dual electric fan, cam gears, timing belt, and a chip

this will be pretty much close to max power without tearing into the engine

get some basic performance upgrades...intake, header, exhaust system... make sure ur head gasket is ok...for quick power...you might want to look into nitrous...though i dont use it because i dont believe in temporary power haha

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...

Smile I am getting 89' or 90' Supra in 1 yr and a half

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.
