1989 Toyota Supra

Hey there, I been in love with the Toyota Supra ever since I watched a 96' dish out 1086 horse power on the dyno.

I just bought my first Toyota Supra, it's a 1989, 7M-GE. I just had a few questions, probably more than likely commonly asked ones at that.

My transmission is an Automatic, I'm perfectly fine with this as it's still quick and jerks me into my seat when I hit the gas.

Question is, did the 7M-GTE come out in automatic as well as a manual?

I want to do an engine swap, but not particularly sure what I would need to do to the transmission to be able to handle the turbo, in an automatic, if it's possible at all.

Last question is if my Supra isn't a Targa Top, can I make it one?

I know these are probably dumb questions, but I'm very curious to know.

This model Supra used the same automatic transmission for the turbo and non-turbo versions. You should no have an issue with that. The manual transmissions are different for the turbo and non-turbo, tho.

That's great news, I'm going to look into it now. Thanks.

Sorry, but I have to bump this, there's still a few questions un-answered

Question: If my Supra isn't a Targa Top, can I make it one?

Also, if I plan to replace the stock turbo on the 7M-GTE, what would turbo would you recommend I swap it with?

I know this stuff isn't going to be cheap, but I don't plan on cheaping out in any part of this car.
