Multics Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 search button is your friend! It's not easy to add a turbo to an non-turbo. Go for a 2JZ-GTE engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you havent got a supra already just buy a tt in the 1st place & be done , it will save money and hassle. You could be different and drop a V8 in if you have lotsa spare cash though, thats what i would do if i had the readies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 OK i was just more worried about cash and insurance for the time being as was goin to buy one and do it up myself i currently own a rx8 231ps which is lowered with sports suspension kit and full mazda speed sports exhast system and my insurance is 3k fully comp but thats worth 14k and is too much for me atm and not fast enough nor is it a big enough engine ha! also the stupidly complex ecu is a pain in the ass if u want to tune them so given up really old school is the new new school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 3k!! What age are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you have 14k, that will buy you a single Supra that should stain your underwear quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think 14k is a lot, once you start modifying a supra it will go rapidly... they aren't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 was 19 at the time am now 20 twin turbo it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 but no i mean with the 8 there arent many mods for it as they are allready "factory tuned" shit tuning factory if u ask me lol but i was hoping to go for something a bit cheaper then the 8 that i can mod over time and that i can race .. was originally goin to go for an rx7 but am split between that an a supra but from what ive seen supras are that much faster then most of the other "street racing" cars correct me if im wrong?

Ian Hayward Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I bought an NA wen I was 21 and was really happy with it until I got beat by some hatchbacks. I ended up keeping my car cos i loved it and was mint condition (being 200reg and all) now after 3 years its 670BHP but I paid the price!! I ended up havin to stick a twin turbo engine in it and then single turbo it. (over £10k) tbh I dont know how you can get insured on a TT at 20. Good luck though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i work hard so i play hard (no homo lol) but yea love it i have expensive taste always have also a need for speed so why not what else do i spend my money on??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 and as far as i can remember last time i checked it was about the same for a 7k TT as it is to insure my 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 but no i mean with the 8 there arent many mods for it as they are allready "factory tuned" $#@! tuning factory if u ask me lol but i was hoping to go for something a bit cheaper then the 8 that i can mod over time and that i can race .. was originally goin to go for an rx7 but am split between that an a supra but from what ive seen supras are that much faster then most of the other "street racing" cars correct me if im wrong? Isnt an RX7 faster but with problematic engines and high running costs? Lighter chassis too makes for a fast car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 rx7s are faster then supras? really? agreed they do have to have rebuilds every 100,000 miles if u look after them properly but obviously it depends on how udrive them as that can drop quite dramaticaly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 agreed but can someone clarify for me as i thought supras were faster then 7's???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 agreed but can someone clarify for me as i thought supras were faster then 7's???? In the world of modified cars every single one is different mate. Best thing to do is build one you know is quick. I know which I'd rather be in at 160+ MPH though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 ha see im still torn between the 7 and the supra :S doing my head in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 ha see im still torn between the 7 and the supra :S doing my head in lol Slower speed, the RX7 will be faster IMO but they are also very small. Very fun around a track. High speed miles are a dream in the Supra, as are trackdays and the reliability. So many people come on here asking which is better - my advice is to drive both and then decide. Both cars have their weak points and both have very strong points. We all know the Supra looks better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozanne Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 see i like both in the looks department and i would drive both but there arent any supras where i live and only a couple of 7's lots of skylines and scoobies tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
