Question 94 Supra questions and help!

So im a fairly new supra owner and new to this forum I recently bought a JDM 1994 Toyota Supra N/A 5 speed last year and just started driving it this summer and fell in love with the car!. It came with aftermarket rims and a body kit and i just recently put in a new sound system too. I'm planning to keep this car for a very long time and I want to make it the v6 beast it is. so I did some research about either swapping or doing a whole new engine rebuild and decided to go with a whole new rebuild for my horsepower goals which are around 700-800hp. I was wondering what I would have to do/buy to achieve this hp range and where I would acquire these parts I live in Canada, Alberta. I really don't care how long or how much its going to cost me like I said im planning to keep this car for a very long time and I doubt I will ever be getting rid of it.

Thanks

OUCH!!! First of all, it's NOT a V6. Horror of Horrors! It's an INLINE-SIX, for goodness sakes!!!

Do you meann 700hp at the crank or 800hp at the crank or 700rwhp or 800rwhp? All of those are different.

Secondly, do you just want the horsepower, or do you want all of the complimentary systems that will help you SAFELY DRIVE AROUND with that horsepower (brakes+abs, suspension, etc.)? If you want the second one and not just the horsepower, you'll find that it will be cheaper to sell your n/a and start with a TT. Just warning you ahead of time...

preferably 800rwhp but anywhere between 700 and 800 is fine. Yea I would like the safety too lol but I looked around and there is a shop here that has a project supra and turned it from an na to a tt monster. Is is possible to just do the conversions to my car? or would i have to get a tt supra?

You'll have to pick just one of these. The cheapest is 700hp at the crank, and the most expensive is 800rwhp. Each configuration is different.

For 700hp at the crank (595 at the wheels), you'll need a fairly large single turbo kit. Something like this should do the trick:
http://www.boostlogic.com/xcart/prod...&cat=19&page=1
Get the 525cc fuel injector option. You'll need to run higher-than-stock fuel pressure, and suppliment with an alcohol injection kit to get enough fuel for 595rwhp. When you buy the kit from Boost Logic, tell them your goal and they'll help with any other electronics and ignition upgrades you'll need too.

Lots of shops have turned n/a Mkiv's into high hp drag cars. However, a drag car is not the ideal application for the Mkiv chassis...it was designed to roadrace. A pure drag car sucks for cornering, and also sucks for street driving (especially, for example, in the rain). If you really want a TT, with all of the great cornering and braking capabilities AND the horsepower, it's more economical to sell the n/a and purchase a TT.
