Okay man, check the name of the engine, if its a 2jz-GE than its a non-turbo, meaning the supra is a downgrade. A GE engine will have high compression pistons, (which is a bad thing, turbos add alot of compession meaning you'd blow something) your also looking at changing your head, and alot of other stuff..

A 2jz-GTE (turbo engine) has completely different cylinder head, oil squirters to cool the pistons. The GTE supras also had better abs braking system, transmission, rear differential, ignition and starter, ecu, suspension, and more... The non-turbo version (GE) is a big downgrade, and your looking at alot of work and money to add turbo's to it.

IMO i'd save up for a turbo supra, or buy a cheap supra then buy an engine for it (2jz-gte).

Hope that helps.

Yes, you can turbo it later (either twins or a single), but for twins you'd need to change the head. Like Curtis says, there'd be limits if you single turbo'd the 2jz-ge due to the higher compression pistons...probably about 400rwhp or so max. Even if you did all of this (including the fuel system and ignition systems you'd need to beef up to support this level), you'd still be way behind what you'd have with a full mkiv tt because of the braking system, the suspension, transmission, differential, etc., etc. In other words, the mkiv tt is a LOT more than just an n/a with turbos.

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
