Soon to be a mk3 owner!

Thanks for the reply

So a cool air intake, a cat back exhaust, and header seem to be the way to go. Cool.

I'm not looking to supe it up to 400+ horses, its a supra, but i'd rather not put so much cash into my first car! When I get a mk4 I'll definately get it up to 600hp at least <3 but thats in the FAR future.

If I can squeeze 80 horses out of a NA that would be amazing considering I only really expected to gain 20-30 lol.

I'm gonna drive it around mostly just show off to my friends, drift in empty parking lots, etc. Basically something just to do some cool tricks in while still having it be able to drive me from point A to point B.

Any suggestions on which brands to look out for? I'm grabbin this car in the next week or so

can't wait.

Gaining 20 to 30 over stock is a bitch.... Many others (including myself) have spent a TON on these engines to get more power and it's simply not there to be had. For the most part it comes down to the head, it simply does not flow well enough to make anny major power without forced induction or NOS.

A 1JZ swap is not a straight swap. If you don't have a garage and another car to get you by forget it. A 7M-GTE swap can be accomplished by a knowledgeable person in a weekend for a newbie perhaps a week.

if you want a good engine back exhaust for a 7mge with out having that fart can and getting fucked with by the cops. Go and buy a pacesetter monza performance exhaust. If your budget is only 2000 for your first car, there will be no gas left buy the time you can afford a 30000 to 50000 MK4. save up to swap to a 7mgte any idiot can make that engine change.
