So basically I can go bpu++++ to 650whp eithout changing all that much as long as I buy the parts to handle the power? So what would you suggest I get this year (I want everything except the turbo kit) so what would I need so that next year I can just buy a turbo kit and install? Besides the clutch cause I'll do that next year too.

At the BPU++++ level, you'll very likely burn out your oem clutch before you put the single turbo kit on. It starts slipping in 6th gear under boost on the highway first...then 5th, then 4th, etc. |
I'll replace the clutch when needed so it should be about 4k for parts? (excluding clutch). Thanks for the help man.

Oem-width rims & rubber won't even hold 425rwhp (and definitely not 650rwhp!). Your rear rims need to be at least 11.5" in width (315 or 305 width z, y, or r rated rubber, and not low-profile). 11.5" is 2" wider than oem rims. It's easy to spend over $2K on just the rims, and some folks spend $6K or more if you also go for a large diameter rim too. Don't forget to budget for the race fuel (unless you go for the alchohol injection kit). More than about 16psi on 93 octane {(r+m)/2} will gradually damage your engine (it won't grenade instantly, it'll just degrade the compression/leakdown numbers over time). To make 425rwhp, you'll need to hit about 20psi of boost...and to hit that safely, your gas tank should contain about 25% of 100 motor octane (or better) race fuel. Oh, I forgot to mention the GReddy 3-row intercooler is available with both "oem twins" piping and "single turbo" piping. Ideally, you should buy it with both sets of piping so you don't have to worry about that when you get your single turbo kit. :) |
Okay sweet dude thanks so much for your help, what size of rear rims will I need for 650rwhp, ill just get those off the start.

...forgot to mention you may not want to run an ultra-low-profile tire on the front either. Larger diameter rims bend when confronted with potholes, so an oem-height sidewall on the front may be desireable (depending on the street condition where you plan to drive your Supra). A really low profile tire on the front (of a rwd vehicle) is primarily used for roadracing/autocross, to make handling more precise. You can to decide whether you want precise handling or pothole protection. |
Ah, okay.. So 17'' is probably good all around?

Note that the oem rims are 17". When considering aftermarket rims, there's a good thing and a bad thing about the 17" oem rim size:
