calsupra Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi everyone I'm Callum (cal) I'm 20 years old and i own a 1994 NA 5 speed manuel supra. Ever since i was a little kid i dreamed about supras, they are my all time favorite car. I have owned mine for a few weeks now and i love it to pieces I plan on upgrading the suspension and brakes, then I'm going to look into a turbo kit. Any advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Welcome to the forum Callum. If you are planning to get a TT might be worth just sell yours and buy a GTE. A conversion to put in a TT engine in is around £3000.00 ish. Maybe need bigger brakes and a 6speed gearbox, guess it all depends on your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Welcome. This 1JZ conversion would be ideal for your car Probably the cheapest way of going turbo from an NA, and the 1JZ sounds fantastic! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?308242-Price-DROP-on-this-1JZ-GTE-engine-complete-with-ECU-STARTER-COILS-ECT&p=3884464#post3884464 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
