After you start with the correct vehicle (let's assume a stock Mkiv Supra Turbo), the rest is pretty easy (not cheap, but easy to figure out). You need a relatively large single turbo kit, a (complete) aftermarket fuel system, a fuel system controller (eg. S-AFC or AEM), and (most importantly, to keep everything from exploding) race fuel OR a methanol injection kit. If it's a 6spd, you'll need an aftermarket clutch (twin disk); if it's an auto you'll need an aftermarket torque converter and beefed up internals. Last but not least, you'll need wider rims&tires (or you'll just sit there and spin with 800hp). It won't be cheap. The car will probably be about $25K or more (for one in good shape, if you can find someone willing to sell one in good shape), the turbo kit about $5K (with labor to install), the fuel system $2500 (with labor), the AFC about $500 or so with labor, and the race fuel is about $150 per tank (or the meth kit is about $1K with labor, and ~$20 per tank). A good clutch will be about $2k with labor, and the wider rims and tires will set you back about $4K I'd guess.

http://www.randomtechnology.com/products.html The engine will last for several years, as long as you continue to run enough race fuel or methanol to suppress detonation. It's a pretty tough first-time project. I read forums/threads/etc online and studied the TSRMs for about a year before I first turned a wrench on my Supra (and I was already a decently competent mechanic before that point).

Here's a thread that details pretty much everything you need: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ond-supra.html You should read this thread too: http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...1000-rwhp.html Please read those two threads (every post), and then let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
