how fast are 1989 mk3 turbos

sbm713 · 12-27-2006, 02:01 AM

my dad has a 1989 mk3 supra turbo and i was just wondering how fast it will go. i think its mostly stock but i could be wrong it had a rebuild on it at 180k and it has 220k now has a new [stock] turbo and its a 5 speed. what kinda hp does it have and how fast can it go on top end?? thanks [ooh btw we had it about 140 once then the intercoolersensor or something broke lol] i just gotta know where it ends

yea i figured that but i was talking to this guy in the military his name is mike and he has a mk3 with a 1jz swap and i was talking to him and told him about the 140 in 4th gear and he was like no it couldnt be that fast but then he seen it and the first thing he said was someone had put a different bumper on it and probably modded it so he drove it a little and said that it was fast for a 7mgte. but his car is awsome lol how hard is a 1jz swap then where can i find a 2jz head?? lol

as the saying goes "if you have to ask how hard it is, then its too hard"

it doesnt sound like you have too much mechanical experience. i would suggest stop worrying about a 1.5jz swap and look at getting some wrench time... thats just my .02 though...

lol offer a trade

sbm713 · 12-28-2006, 02:49 AM

nah i like the stang just wish it had boost haha. I dont really want a supra well unless its the 1993-1998 with twinturbo's. I am trying to find an LS1 camaro with a 6 speed like i said im not into imports that much they are fun dont get me wrong but i love the sound of a V8. I have thought about getting a supra like dads but they are getting more expensive but if i could get a deal like his i would take it he paid 1500 for his.

If you're not into imports and you like domestics, then what in the hell are you doing on a Supra forum?
