Changes to a N/A Supra to increase performance

Sup93a · 02-01-2010, 09:17 AM

Hello,
I am more going off what others have said in regards to Nitrious being corrosive and can damage an engine, e.g. a factory 2JZ.
I am worried about hurting my car.
All of your information if much appreciated but I think the easiest way is to wait another year and buy a factory TT Supra or I might even wait to get a new Toyota FT86G which is coming to Australia in 2011.

Nitrous is not corrosive.
Nitrous can damage an engine, but so can too much boost. If the nitrous system is properly designed installed and tuned, it won't damage the engine.
You should be worried about hurting your car - that's a very good thing. However, those worries should be intelligently analyzed to ensure they're not based on predjudice for/against a particular technology, and/or rumor.
I agree with your plan to start with a factory TT.
The FT86G is an unknown at this point, so I can't advise you there. Worst case, it might turn out to be a P.O.S. ... On the other hand, the mkiv tt is a sure thing.

Thankyou for all of your information.

I have had a further look into my options with my N/A Supra and I think I will wait and purchase a factory TT Supra.

At the end of the day, I do not have the money to be doing anything like machining, nitrous or a turbocharger at this point in my life. I can purchase a reliable TT Supra for around $20,000-25,000 AUS dollars and in relation to the type of cars around my area, there are not many of them.

If I need anymore information I will definently leave a post.

Thankyou.
