Here you go...but note the following:
Very rough estimated prices only...using only brand-new brand-name parts (i.e. no cheap ebay crap, or fumbling with used parts with no warranty)...major items listed only...also assuming that a
reputable shop
already experienced with Mkiv Supras does the install:
- $25K for mid-mileage '94-'97 mkiv supra tt auto, in good shape (no salvage title)
- 1000+hp-capable fuel system: $2,500 + $700 install
- 1000+hp-capable turbo kit: $5k + $900 install
- 150 wet shot direct port nitrous kit: $1500 + $1000 install
- Upgraded 2jz-gte internals (eg. connecting rods & bearings) and headwork: $4K (parts) + $2k headwork + $3K uninstall, machine shop work, reinstall
- Race Cams $1k, install included in previous bullet/item
- 4-row fmic: $2K + $500 install
- 4" exhaust: $1500 + $100 install
- Full race intake plenum & TB: $2K + $1K install
- Complete SP400 Tranny Swap kit (no overdrive): $5500 + $500 install
- Carbon-fiber Driveshaft $2k
- N/A Brake conversion: $1K + $300 install
- Drag Coilovers: $2K + $400 install
- Drag Rims&Tires (Full Race Slicks & 'Skinnies'): ~$3K
- Standalone ecu & dli/cdi: $3K + $500 install + $2K tuning (yes, at least $2k for tuning)
- Race Fuel: about $500/barrel
- I'll let someone else do the math to figure a total...
Even if you're a crappy driver (which you may not be, but just covering worst case scenario), this setup gets you in the 9s (1.75 or better 60's, and I'd guess about 140 mph or so). It'll put out about 900rwhp (this is the equivalent of about 1100rwhp through a 6spd). Note that a truly gifted driver could get into the 9s with less investment, but the list above is a guaranteed 100% for sure 9 second setup.
Also, NB: Although a roll cage & other safety gear is desireable, and probably required at most tracks, I haven't included it because the car will (as per your only stated goal) run the 9s without these safety mods.
