Q on Daily Supra

[edddddy]

Totally ignored stickies my fault most of my other questions were answered there.








New questions!!






Im buying a 1995 n/a Supra. I plan on dropping in a turbo later on. From what i can tell from current info, ill need to upgrade a whole mess of other stuff as well. But thats if i plan on tracking or racing with it....right???? What if i just wanted ~300 hp for the sake of having 300 hp? I only plan on commuting around with it.. [yea i know its a total waste of a supra but oh well -_-] im talking like 50 mph city and 75 mph highway, and of course occasionally going 100+mph on the highway when its empty :] But since i wont be doing any sharp turns and other 2fast2furious manuevers, will all the other upgrades seriously be needed [brakes, wheels etc]?

Then you'd only need to turbo the engine. Of course, the power would be somewhat unmanageable (i.e. you might end up putting your car into a wall or a tree), and you might blow up your transmission or your diff...but hey, you'd have 300hp, even if your car wasn't moving, right?

Whether you want to keep it between the painted lines and away from the other cars on the road, or you want to keep it on the pavement and away from the other cars at the track, the upgrades are pretty much the same.
