87 Supra Turbo

west_side_supra · 07-26-2007, 09:03 AM

i really dont know, the way is see it is power to weight will give you most of your answer. the DMV said that my supra weights 3970lbs and i have only added 2 12" subs. i dont know what the stock HP is on a turbo supra. but if it has an intake and full exhaust it may have an extra 50-70hp. then shimming the wastegate to get about 10-11lbs of boost instead of 6.5lbs that will give you a tad bit more power. then your set.

i mean i have
lightweight flywheel
6 puck clutch
shimmed wastegate
greddy rs BOV
3 inch turbo back exhaust - no cats
custom 2.5inch hardpipes upper IC
and it stays up with an STI and im still running the stock airbox

and ill tell you now the exhaust and shimming of the wastegate was the best things i did for that car, its power that will open your mouth for about 3 weeks till you get use to it and you want more and more.

when i bought mine it came with 160k miles, all stock, turbo, silver, and its also an 87 and i picked it up for 3500$. but take a look at my myspace pics of it.

what does shimming the wastegate mean?

putting spacers (washers) in between the wastegate bolts

basically a poorman's boost controller is what they called it

It looks like your in Australia scince the commodores are from there, most of us don't have any experience with those cause they havn't been exported to the USA except for the monaro which is the GTO and will kick the living daylights out of a stock supra.
