My 88 Part List
I thought it would maybe help others wondering about upgrades and also give me a chance to get input on the part before I buy...
Here is the list that I have decided on, please let me know if you know of a superior part (the cost is immaterial unless we are talking about a difference of $1000.00) : (it will be growing as I update - all additions will be in this area and these are subject to change as I get input) ============================== UPGRADES/IMPROVEMENTS ============================== ---------------------------- HKS Turbo Exhaust System HKS Turbo Exhaust Systems - this is a full 3" exhaust with twin 3" tip muffler. Think that this is sufficient but there is a 3.3" system.. which I think would be louder, so I am avoiding that. Not sure if I need to get a 3" Test pipe and 3" Down pipe, have question in to HKS. Price (US) - 511.18 - Plan to purchse/install in November. ---------------- 3" Downpipe with Divorced Wastegate (DDP) BIC Performance Products Quote:
Price (US) - 369.00 (may be more if I need downpipe gasket) - Plan to purchase/install in November which could turn into December.. due to financial restraints.. ----------------- Boost Controller HKS USA VBC (Variable Boost Controller) - This is for after all exhaust/intake modifications are done. I put this on my low priority list because the car will function fine without it. Quote:
--------------------- Turbo Timer (type 1) GReddy Full Auto Turbo Timer - this is an asap part. Bugs me that I can't run my turbo for about 5 min or so before I get home or have to sit in the car for a few minutes while I let the turbo spin down. This will solve that, so its on my immediate purchase/install list. Quote:
============================== MAINTENANCE (may not be an upgrade) ============================== Lower Ball Joints (mine are worn) - will be doing this myself.. so photo-journal will follow. Sourcing parts, this is probably what I'm getting... 1987-1992 Toyota Supra - Moog Ball Joint x 2 Price (US) - 73.05 x 2 - ASAP **Dealership wants 900.00 to do it... umm... I dont think so...** DONE (This just added due to my recent inspection...) Spark Plug Galley Cover (Mirror Polished) LIPP Spark Plug Covers $43.00 US Magnecor KV85 Spark Plug Wires Magnecor KV85 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires $130.63 US NGK IRIDIUM IX Spark Plugs NGK IRIDIUM IX Spark Plugs $10.72 x6 US The above 3 parts are needed right away, but I have to wait 2 weeks to get them. At the same time, I plan to do the No.3 Cylinder cover and gasket replacement as descirbed in the forums (just to make sure that its not a problem later on). (note: I will add to this as I decide on each part.) This is more for me to track all my modifications and get input on final decisions. Everything listed is future buy, will wait at least 1 week for any input prior to purchasing the part. My photo-journal of any repairs or upgrades I do will be in: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...w-answers.html (i'm guessing the entire thing will take about 18 months total, to buy/install) -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ WORK DONE! -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Clutch hose replaced. Sept 28, 2008 LINK: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...astic-one.html -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Last edited by Grandavi; 12-11-2010 at 04:54 AM. Reason: Added to the list... |

Forget the lipp turbo elbow, get a down pipe from Randy at BIC performance that includes the elbow. Best downpipe for a stock turbo there is. BIC Performance Home

1. Longevity (none of us want to build it twice) 2. Economy (squeeze the MPG's out of it when not having fun) 3. Performance (this is a combination of the first 2, but also the feel of being thrust forward.. its why I like the car so much) The HP at final stage really wont be known unless I up the Turbo size. Because at that point, I will be doing serious mods and thats not my original intent. My engine has approx 22,000 km on it (about 13,000 miles). As far as I know, the head gasket is fine. Yours should have failed already at your mileage if it is going to. I have been told by a few people that the one thing to do to prevent BHG in MKIII's is to upgrade the rad first. Only redo the headgasket (put in a MHG) if you are going to be upping the boost to higher levels. If I go that route, I think I may swap engines totally anyway to the JZGTE variant with a new tranny although I havent researched that route yet, but apparently thats the road for 450+ HP. Honestly, I dont think I have enough personal restraint for going that direction as I find it hard not to race when challenged (unless I dont think its an open road and it looks unsafe.. I'm old enough to see the danger) I just want to keep my Supra for a long time and enjoy it and I miss working on cars (haven't worked on a car in over 20 years now, so this is like a flashback to youth)

I don't get it. You say you are holding off on a turbo but you are buying this: 7MGTE T4 Flanged Exhaust Manifold? Does that leave anything in the same place so that you could buy pre-fab downpipe and catback systems? I would think that you would be largely on your own fabricating your entire exhaust once you got that. Is your stock turbo going to bolt up to that? Am I missing something?

And as for new rad... is it a bigger rad? (Remember, I am not an expert or even a mechanic.. just a fellow Supra owner) From all that I have read and been told, you want to get a "better" rad than stock because it is small for the amount of heat this engine generates.
