why don't we focus around making the car faster than a debate about street racing. It is illegal and dangerous, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume if you do, you will do it on roads with few to no cars present when you race and that the only life you put at risk is your own.

Now, RWHP is one thing, but what exactly do you want the car to do? What 1/4mile time, or whatever distance term they use there, do you want to achieve? 0-60mph(0-100kph) times? Those are both influenced greatly by the driver's ability to handle power and launch well. If you want bragging rights than saying like 450rwhp is quite a lot, probably 500-525hp or so at the crank. 600rwhp might make you win the race after the tires hook up, but being able to launch the car perfectly with 450rwhp is more impressive in my opinion. Also, if you do not have a limited slip diff, you should get one. As for tires, for 450-600rwhp I would suggest no smaller than 285 rears, prefferably 305-335mm wide. fronts 245 or 255 I guess. I like the top secret body kit.

yeah i've got lim slip differential, and yeah even 525hp is fine its basically for just highway rolls and like red lights and stuff not really gonna go street race for money and stuff just want it to be fast..and i wont be putting ppl at risk dont worry im mature enough to know the difference, i just want to know what upgrades i should do first and slowly add on what would u recommend doign first

First is BPU. Please read about it here:
MKIV.Com Home of the MKIV Toyota Supra

In short, BPU means a downpipe, a BCC, a boost controller, and a boost gauge. If your Supra isn't full BPU yet, you need to get it there. I know you have other mods like an fmic and an aftermarket air intake, but we need to start with the basics.

In addition to BPU, make sure your Supra is up to spec on all of the maintenance that is required in the owner's manual (and/or TSRM), based on the mileage.


Lastly, I still need ALL of these questions I asked answered:

Agreed these will all ultimately be required for 600rwhp+. However, the build needs to take place one step at a time. We really don't even know all of the mods that we're working with on this car yet...so we can't really build on top of an unknown starting point...

pics of the engine bay and bottom of car would be helpful in helping you tell you what mods you have.

[mnewxv]

gramlights/falkens
strut tower bar
catback
hks suction intake
earthing kit(grounding)
intercooler/upgraded turbo piping, if not upgraded turbo(s)
possibly coil overs?
body kit + wing
recaro seat
blue gauges, carbon fibre dash, A/V, etc
possibly short throw shifter
either a turbo timer or boost controller(hope it isnt a boost controller if you dont have a turbo timer as well!)
steering wheel

the brakes appear STOCK. trust me, if you want to go fast you NEED the parts that will slow it down as well. The stock brakes are excellent, but I wouldnt want to be using stock to slow down from 180km/h or higher!
