Guest fremite Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi Folks, I have a unmolested 1998 NA with 15K original miles and the car is mint in every way. I'm wondering if it would make sense from a resale value (and fun) to add a turbo charger(s). Are there any bolt on kits that look nice and perform well? Would this increase the value or hurt it due to modifications? What should I expect in price to add turbo(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Mint low miles na manual I would sale and buy a tt. If you don't plan to sale then stick turbos do.what you want to it and enjoy it as you see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It would be criminal to turbo that. VVTi NA Supras are very rare (as I'm sure you know), the US was the only market that got them, and only at the end of the production run. Yours must be one of the best around.

When the car was purchased in 1998 the dealer said this was one of the last ones shipped to the US. Is there anyway to confirm this via the VIN?

NA Auto would break easily with a single turbo. Sell it and buy a TT if you want turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Lovely looking example and turbo'ing it would definitely hinder the re-sale value. However, you asked about fun as well which turbo'ing definitely helps! Price to turbo is too broad a question to give a figure on I'm afraid. Some people have turbo'd on a budget and had very few problems....some have had endless problems. Spend a bit more money on higher end parts and the cost quickly climbs. Your auto box would need some work as well or even a transplant to cope with the power hike. Have a look around for Supra NA-T kits and you'll get an idea on prices. My advice would be to look for kits with good quality parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LasseV Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Keep this one stock! Must be a very expensive car in that condition. How many they did produce these vvt-i models? Few hundred? Looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fremite Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Here's a few more pictures. Based on the feedback I will definitely be keeping the car as is. I didn't realize its on the rare side. Thanks for all the suggestions and information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
