Dim Sum Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hello and welcome to the forum. Here's a link on what to check when buying a Supra http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?67644-What-to-check-when-buying-a-Supra I can't be sure about the engine thing but i'm sure these 2JZ are bullet proof, needs some crazy abuse to blow it.

Thanks in advance Glenn welcome to the club, who ever told you that an n/a engine lets go at 90k is wrong, simply put they have nothing to let go of to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The person who told you clearly hasn't owned one or knows someone who has owned one. Any engine can let go, but these are fairly robust & unless you run it on no oil or water these are pretty bomb proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Bullet proof if cared for check for clean oil and proper antifreeze is a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both them cars are priced to high in my opinion for a N/A. For a decent N/A you should be looking to pay £2500-3000 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think maybe your mate was thinking of the mk3 engines. I ran my n/a with no servicing for the best part of 3 years (No oil change not filter change coolent plugs ect) in the hope it would blow up so i could get a TT lump, and it still pulled 210 on a dyno a month or so before i ripped it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
