anything usefull..
 
im getting ready to purchase a 94 supra 2jz-gte, and i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with finding some resorces on finding any/everything i can about this car. im just getting into the tuning scene (i finally have some time and getting some good money towards tuning). so i was wondering if anyone could kinda lead me into the right direction of where i need to look on finding out what i need to know about this car to have the handeling and performance kicked up.

i know that more power is the way for better performance, but i would like to know the right way on how to go about this, cause its also gonna be my daily driver.

i also know that lower and stiffer is best for handling, but again i would like to know the best way on tacklin this issue.

so if anyone has time to help a new enthusiest out, i would really appreciate it, thanks

u might jus wanna stand back for a sec

cuz the way ur situations sits
u want big power but u have to use it as a daily driver
kinda hard unless you can afford a car that gets 10 mpg

this is where most of the challenge of new tuners come
getting the car drive-able to fetch groceries
and still kick sum ass in the races

ur getting the mk4 with the 2jzgte
twins, those things are not slow
but if ur really going for big power
pple have jus converted it to a single turbo
(but the spool up time, is a b***h)

but for starters, u cn jus upgrade ur suspension
normally i'll advice sumbody to get a simple set-up ergo eibach springs
but ur getting a mk4, to least u can probly go is sum tein coilovers
tokico is a good brand too
but look around to what fits ur driving style tho

what kinds of races would u b doing in your car?

another good thing to have on all race cars is mhg and arp studs.this is also a good way to start for big hp so the engine can hold in all the power. lowered shifter (short shifters) are a good mod also. Make sure you do all the maintence upkeep first like new timming belt, oil, air filter, all that stuff just to keep in good shape.

thanks supra2nr..
 
to be honest the gas milage i already kinda figured out was kinda gonna be somethin like that, so thats pretty cool.
as far as the turbo situation, i actually was thinkin bout goin single turbo, still deciding on which turbo to go for..
i was thinkin bout goin tien suspensionall the way

i'll prob try to go for top end and low quarter times..
thanks for replyin..

the maintence upkeep is always a must.. and as far as the short thro, thats also goona be goin in the future, right after i do a right hand convertion. well to be honest, i dont know when i'll do that, but im deffinetly gonna be doin that.

do you know of any good web sites that i can go to to kinda get familier with tuning up the 2jz.. like kinda teach myself (i think im wording this right)

you are gonna convert to rh drive? be easier and prolly cheaper to import one from japan... not sure about the cheaper part though

mike22 10-15-2006 07:00 AM

actually it'll be cheaper to convert.. plus i'll be gettin a car now, instead of waitin for a good min.,..

tone loc 10-15-2006 03:00 PM

definnetly want to see some before and after pics.

mike22 10-15-2006 11:02 PM

not a prob..
 
the before and after pics will be a deff.. of course it'll be a little while for that.
but i'll be sure to get some pics goin in the future with the progress of my car..

its gonna be a little while first cuz where tryin to get the skyline and a few more cars ready for HIN in december.. but after that it's all the way for the supra
