you don't have to replace the headgasket unless your going to go for major horsepower or if your car has a lot of miles on it

i have a N/A and i have a K&N cold air kit, 2 1/2" catback exhaust. i also blocked off the EGR valve and i loosened the tension of the spring in the AFM.

this next month i'm getting a header, dual electric fan, cam gears, timing belt, and a chip

this will be pretty much close to max power without tearing into the engine

get some basic performance upgrades...intake, header, exhaust system... make sure ur head gasket is ok...for quick power...you might want to look into nitrous...though i dont use it because i dont believe in temporary power haha

i dont believe in nitrous.i think its for fake, wanna be horsepower guys

ya those sound good ill probably start out with an intake and exhaust like you guys said. and we'll see where to go from there, depending on the money i have.

moneys always an issue

kewlcoconut · 10-28-2005, 09:49 PM

yes. money is always an issue. i started with an exhaust, and the intake. then spent some money on new performance tires. now im getting some headers, and maybe changing the cat converter. but everything is done in gradual steps. i just wish i would win the lottery and then i can bring my car to a local ricer shop and say "supe it up". hahaha

j_moy_08 · 10-29-2005, 01:56 AM

Ya i know what your saying about the lottery ive always wished that too. but anyways considering the fact that ive never put on aftermarket exhaust or intake if i was to put these on am i really going to feel a difference in power or are they mostly for looks? Oh ya one more question, considering that my supra is a non turbo could i put a turbo exhaust and downpipe on or will it not fit. i know these are dumb questions but i need all the help i can get. Thanks

what about if you do have a turbo?

shiftysupra · 01-04-2006, 11:12 PM

all those upgrades are good. but no one mentioned cam-gears. you can get about 25-35 more hp and im not sure how much torque for upgrading these. also getting new underdrive pulleys is a big deal. if i am correct for every pound or so you lose on the underdrive pulleys you gain about 1.5-2.5 hp. i upgraded my pulleys on my 1992 non-turbo supra and i can feel the difference.

I would focus on the headgasket first. My supra only had 60K when it blew it's head gasket. Get ARP bolts and a stock toy head gasket and you should be cool, unless you want to run massive boost then I'd get the HKS metal HG. It's a pretty common deal with the supra's, the headbolts were only torqued at 58 lbs. ft. when they should have been 75 lbs. from the factory. They tend to loosen up over time and the gasket wears out, normally in the #6 cylinder. Toyota should have issued a recall on it like they did with the v6 pickups.
