1989 Supra

WiseAssJester · 09-22-2005, 01:10 AM

Hey. I'm considering buying an 89 Supra. It'll be my second project car.

I really like the looks of the car, and the prospects of power are nice.

However, before I throw down the money for the car I decided to do some looking at parts.

Now, anything I've ever built needs to be strongly after market. I found some very nice rods and pistons, but I can't find anything with regards to a crank. I want the toughest crankshaft money can buy, but I can't even seem to find a stock one.

Anyone have any ideas? Also, does anyone have a site with relevent stock-built information? Like valve sizes, materials used, so forth? Information for the latter part isn't exactly forth coming.

there was another thread bout cranks i think if you search you'll find the results of that but i believe there are no aftermarket cranks for the 7mgte

Thanks.

I searched and couldn't find anything. I emailed some aftermarket manufacturers and they agreed with you.

The crankshaft is forged and has a good balance to it. It will take a lot of stress.
