Tailight convert?

ravenmaster · 10-12-2006, 01:06 AM

Is it possible to put the 1990 Supra N/A Taillight cluster (the exterior panels) on a 1987 Supra? Also is the ECU diffrent? Reason I ask is they have a 90 supra at my local junkyard (and the closest one after the local one that carries toyotas is 50 Miles. I am just lazy. So pretty much I have reserved this whole car for my personal part removal. I am pretty pleased. And they don't charge you extra if you ask them toremove stuff. I love it. Also does anyone know where to find an aftermarket performance Air Intake tube for the MKIII? I have looked all over and nothing.
Thanks as always.

Toyota Supra Mk III (1986-1992)

In the middle of 1986, Toyota was ready to release its next version of the Supra. The bonds between the Celica and the Supra were cut; now they were two completely different kind of models. The Celica changed to front wheel drive (FWD), while the Supra kept its rear wheel drive (RWD). Though the A60 (Mk II) and A70 (MK III) had similar designs, the engine was a more powerful version than the earlier 2.8L and 3.0L engine with two versions*: one with a CT-26 turbo (the 7M-GTE) and one without (the 7M-GE). The non-turbo 7M-GE models came standard with the W58 manual transmission, and the 7M-GTE came standard with the R154. Both were available with an optional automatic transmission, the A340E. During the 1989 year, the car received new tail lights, front bumper, badging and side trim amongst other features.

In 1988 the Turbo-A model was introduced, it was a special design aimed at winning the Group-A touring car championships around the world. There were only 500 Turbo-As ever made. The Turbo-A was a special 7M-GTEU with 267PS (263hp/196kW), making it the fastest Japanese road car until the Nissan Skyline R32-GTR was introduced. The Turbo-A model was only produced in black, all featured leather interiors, a front intercooler inlet, were hardtops and only used MAP engine sensors. Other enhancements include higher boost (7.8psi), long lift cams, larger injectors, larger intercooler and a high flowed version of the CT26 turbocharger.

The A70 Supra was also available in two non export models in Japan, the JZA70 with a 2.5L 280hp (209kW) twin-turbo 1JZ-GTE, known as 2.5GT Twin Turbo R (JZA70), and with a 2.0L 210hp (157kW) twin-turbo 1G-GTE.

The third-generation Supra represented a great deal of new technology. In 1986, Supras were already equipped with ABS, TEMS (Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension). By 1990, airbags became standard.

The 7M-GE MA70 is capable of propelling itself 0-60 in just over 6 seconds with 6.8 psi of boost.

Some possible chassis codes are: A70, MA70, MA71, JZA70, GA70

If you get the taillights, make sure to grab the bulb holders as well. Those changed. And you'll need to take the middle piece that goes around the license plate.

Supra2NR · 10-12-2006, 04:23 AM

aight no problem

i also moved the afm , jus for a cleaner look
painted it also

i hav a tubing leading to the front of the car connected to the cone filter

the heatshield was also homemade,
with a plastic pail, and those insulation they use on cars

the only reason that there's two clamps in there was bcuz i had to extend it a little bit, and i ddnt feel like buying another longer pipe
so i jus cut a small piece from what i got already and jus connected them together

and this is it, 100% homemade
