Buying a Supra

GR0614 · 10-05-2006, 08:19 PM

What would be a good amount of miles to look for in buying a supra, 96-98? Also what would be the easier mod, buying a turbo single or twin.

Zero? The lower the mileage the better...but of course you'll pay a lot more for a low mileage MK4 Supra.

Do you mean an Mk4 that has already been modified with a single turbo kit?

How do you plan to buy a single? Are you talking about a MKIII? Or you talking about a pre-modified MKIV?

im sorry, i meant a single turbo compared to a twin turbo, what one would be more eaiser to mod, keeping the stock turbos?

If you're talking about mk4 supras (and not mk3 supras), since every & all single turbo mk4 supras have already been modified (otherwise there's absolutely no way a single turbo could possibly be on there), I guess you could say that overall (for the most part) a single turbo mk4 would probably be easier to re-modify. Taking those stock twins off is tough. On the other hand, the lower exhaust manifold nuts are a bit harder to access with an aftermarket tubular header though...and of course you'll probably pay more for a pre-modified single turbo mk4 supra.

Again, if you're talking about mk4 supras (and not mk3 supras), the only way you could "keep the stock turbos" would be to purchase a twin turbo mk4 supra, since every & all single turbo mk4 supras have already had the stock twins removed.

If you're talking about mk3 supras, then the vast majority of them are not equipped with stock twin turbos: most of them came with a stock single turbo (or n/a). The only exception is the relatively rare (especially in the US) 1jz-gte twin turbo...but those are non-sequential twin turbos (versus the sequential twin turbos in the mk4 tt).

I hope that helps to answer your question, although I'm still not sure that I understand exactly what you're trying to ask...
