how fast are 1989 mk3 turbos
 

my dad has a 1989 mk3 supra turbo and i was just wondering how fast it will go. i think its mostly stock but i could be wrong it had a rebuild on it at 180k and it has 220k now has a new [stock] turbo and its a 5 speed. what kinda hp does it have and how fast can it go on top end?? thanks [ooh btw we had it about 140 once then the intercoolersensor or something broke lol] i just gotta know where it ends

232hp stock, 145-150mph stock.

yea i figured that but i was talking to this guy in the military his name is mike and he has a mk3 with a 1jz swap and i was talking to him and told him about the 140 in 4th gear and he was like no it couldnt be that fast but then he seen it and the first thing he said was someone had put a different bumper on it and probably modded it so he drove it a little and said that it was fast for a 7mgte. but his car is awsome lol how hard is a 1jz swap then where can i find a 2jz head?? lol

as the saying goes "if you have to ask how hard it is, then its too hard"

it doesnt sound like you have too much mechanical experience. i would suggest stop worrying about a 1.5jz swap and look at getting some wrench time... thats just my .02 though...

i dont mess with imports im more of an american guy i like mustangs and camaros there is nothing like the rumble or a 454 big block but i was just wondering because dads car is fast as heck on top end faster than my little 4.6 mustang GT convertible

ya its probably 10 years newer too

ya my mustang is an automatic 2003 gt convertible and it is slow i hit 137 one time in it i hate automatics but ooh well i didnt have a choice dad got it for me i am only 16. i told him to let me drive his supra for a while and he said i would kill myself in it. ooh well lol it was worth a shot

lol offer a trade

nah i like the stang just wish it had boost haha. I dont really want a supra well unless its the 1993-1998 with twinturbo's. I am trying to find an LS1 camaro with a 6 speed like i said im not into imports that much they are fun dont get me wrong but i love the sound of a V8. I have thought about getting a supra like dads but they are getting more expensive but if i could get a deal like his i would take it he paid 1500 for his.

If you're not into imports and you like domestics, then what in the hell are you doing on a Supra forum?
