seems like a decent deal,
how the body?
when you said a head job
im gonna assume its the headgasket?
what kind of headgasket did he use?
well if he had the head machine, the 2 grand is a bargain
cuz if he did you'll jus be paying for the engine

he used a 1.3mm hks steel head gasket i believe. he told be that they did the headjob at some machine shop. i dont know exactly what a headjob is. oh btw, the body is arite but then the paint job is kinda faded.

i actually have a 1987 n/a supra right now. the body and the interior is great. it has 180,000 miles on it. but its got a blown head gasket and i hear a rod knock. so i dont know what to do with it. thats why i just wanna buy the turbo one.

thats funny i got a 88 n/a right now
threw the rods, fried the pistons, blah blah blah
and now im saving up for another one with a turbo lol

but i guess he had the heads machined then if he says its a headjob
that would be a bargain then
jus check sum more in the car
check the tranny too, it kinda sounds a little suspicious to me

cuz if i had that much work done to my car, i wouldnt be selling it unless sumthings wrong

mkthreetillinfinity · 09-13-2006, 08:18 AM

the tranny is kinda lose i think thats cuz the n/a tranny cant handle the power of the turbocharged motor. the reason why he's selling it to me is cuz he bought a honda fit and oh he's only selling it to me for two grand bcuz we know each other. but check it out, my mechanic told me that i shouldnt increase the boost to more than 10 lbs so the motor wouldnt blow up.

If I remember right, the N/A and turbo use the same Auto tranny, just different clutch packs are in it. The manuals were the ones that were different.

As for the turbo in the N/A car, I hope he did a correct conversion, ECU and all, check on that too. Here's a link of what should've been done... MAN I'm linking this alot lately...
