They're closer to 248s (perhaps even as small as 242s), which is still plenty large enough when you're dealing with forced induction and very high cylinder pressures (compared with an n/a engine).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.

Wink thanx

hey everyone. thanks for your replies. i appreciate all your thoughts and advice. even though i am young, i am 18, been driving for a year, so I'm not bad now. And have been driving a little 2 door lancer for that time. It isn't slow, but certainly not fast. well, it can actually go quite fast, it just takes several minutes to get there. 200km/h is the speedo limit and that was achieved on a raceway after about 2 minutes. and i now want to upgrade my car, but there isn't much point "doing up" a 1.5L 4cyl 1993 lancer. so i was thinking a non-turbo supra. they are available for about 14K over here. non0turbo 100,000Km's on them (60,000 miles). but for now, i think i might just get one, and leave the performance at 160kw, until i can legally drive a turbo. and i dont wanna risk driving a turbo because if your caught with one, you lose license for 3 - 6 months, second offence = impounded car. thanks for all your advice though, just too much money to add performance whilst staying non turbo.
