Best bang for your buck aftermarket supra parts

i agree, before any mods install a MHG. don't listen to that one reply you received "don't worry about your gasket". the 7M is an awesome engine except for the gasket. stock internals can handle 500hp, and it sounds like eventually you'll be looking for more power. i should know because the only internals on my car are AEM gears, and an HKS 1.2 MHG. don't worry about how much time you have to build your ride. you're very young, and have plenty of time. it took me 8 years to get my car the way i like-it. by replacing your gasket now, you're premptively saving yourself trouble down the road. by the way, don't forget about the ARP studs. one addition you can safely change is an air intake. checkout a list of my mods on tunerfriends.com username is "iluvmy88supra"

all these mods your talkin about, and you missed 1 cruicial one. tut tut

anyone ever think of the Driveshaft? get a Carbon Fibre Drive Shaft. theyre lighter and give you more RWHP which is more important than Enging HP right? i mean come on, you can have 500 Engine HP but who gives a damn if your only gettin say 200 RWHP?

IMO CF Drive Shafts are an excellent upgrade with 2 upsides and 1 downside :P

+RWHP +Weight Reduc, But -$$

how strong are cf driveshafts?

88Tsupra · 12-07-2007, 08:36 PM

I've heard of the CF drive shaft being stronger then the aluminum ones.

I didn't read through this thread. But a BIC DDP 3inch is worth the money. My car feels way better with the DDP mainly right before boost and keeps the power going all the way through

does anybody know the difference in performances between parallel or sequential turbo set-ups? do they have different torque curves?

The first thing you should modify IMHO is your I-H-E, meaning try changing the Intake, Headers, and Exhausts. It will give you some extra power I believe. Good luck!

you want my honest opionion. gut it the hell out. you want cheap ill give you cheap. rip out everything you dont need. heat, air,interior, powersteering, seats, and get rid of all that weight, you want more, then get rid of it, every 100 pounds is a tenth of a second faster, and believe me between all that sound detining tar and all that weight. you will be starting quicker off the line, and take a shit too! that helps every pound is a key elimante into winning, if you dont want or have cash to spend. two of the heaviest things on that car is the hood and driver seat. damn them automatic seats. thats my best advice if you want to be going faster without spending alot of money.

another thing is. dont go for all that performance get shocks and springs, dont buy coilovers unless your track use only, i recomend tokico shocks and eibach springs, and then sway bars, you can get all this for about 550 600 bucks, and its worth it. make the ride handle before making it so fast you cant handle it

i hear the carbon fiber ds is stronger but is for track use only because if a rock flys up and hits it will shatter

On my Honda's I squeeze 100-125 shot of nitrous. Never had issues, are supras
sensitive cars.I just got a 89 n/a I'm swapping it to the Turbo motor plus doing the headgasket. At the same time. I believe do your upgrades right and squueez an 80shot on it retard the timing.3 degrees back pump 91 and let rip. D
