After years of admiring I finally bought a Supra.
Long story short I have been looking at the Supra market for the last couple of years, since a friend bought one (with the intention of putting a V8 in) like most over projects he never got round to even really starting so it just sat on his drive way since 2015. That’s where I come in, after a 10 minute phone call it was mine. Now the fun starts!!
It’s a 1997 NA auto with one of the worst spay jobs I have ever seen. Going forward the plan is like many people before a manual single turbo conversion aiming for around 700bhp. Now comes the question that has been asked 1000 times.
What’s the best route to go down?
Having done some research there seems to be a lot of suggestions but not many people that have actually carried out the conversion.
Ideally I would like some advice from people the have either completed the conversion or in the process of carrying it out.
So far what I have found:
Transmission- 05 onwards Nissan 350z box with adaption plate
BMW diesel transmission
Engine:
Find a 2jz-gte then single turbo conversation
Last thing .... Cost ?
Out of experience how much has it cost to do this installation?
I currently run our family garage business with my farther so we would be pretty confident in attempting the conversion our selves, I would just like to see the best options people have come up with.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers
