Getting a Supra!
 

Hey, I'm new on the board and this probably isn't where I should be posting this, sorry. But anyway, I've PROBABLY got a '95 twin-turbo 6-speed on the way, and I have a few questions about it. It's already got intake, exhaust, and AEM EMS standalone installed. Still got the stock turbos. Stock is 11.5psi, I've read the stockers can push up to 26psi. Basically I'm wondering how much power I can put down to the ground on stock turbos, stock rear end, and stock tranny. Replacing the clutch won't be a real big deal, but I don't wanna hafta build up or repair a shredded rear end. I know the 2JZ can hold like 700-800bhp stock, and I have no plans to get it that high. Thanks.

stock turbos can go up to around 500 to almost 600 hp...from what ive seen...maybe higher...they can handle a lot of boost and the stock tranny...can pretty much handle anything you throw at it...but you might have to change the clutch around 600 or 700 hp...otherwise you'll just melt the thing..ive seen a 2jz with stock internals handle 1000hp... thats incredible, these motors were built to last

Thanks for the reply. But lemme tell u my situation. I've got a deal going w/ a guy named David Smith, he just moved to England and I'm supposedly buying his '95 Supra for $7,600 (brought down from $12,500). It's been closed on autotrader so u can't view the auction. But here are some pics he used on the ad:http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...8_169_full.jpg

The owner's name is Cameron, so...I'm thinkin' this might be a scam. Anybody know who owns this Supra and where they live? Thanks.

uh-oh....it smells like a scam....kind of like all the other ones we have been reading about in those other threads...dont buy it yet...cause hes sellin it for real cheap...lemme look into it first because $7600 is real cheap..dont send any money until i see that this is legit...i hope u get this before you buy

i hate to break it to you but its a scam...all the parts and labor he put into that car are worth more that 7600 let alone the 12500 he originally offered... that car has got to be worth at least 40g's...i was reading the guestbook of that guy's site...apparently someone else has also been usin this guys pics, so this david smith...is a scammer...false name...this deal is too good to be true and as much as i want it for that price...we'll never get it anytime soon, sorry bro...the car is located in cali and it doesnt look like the owner is selling anytime soon..even though he also has an m3 to play with....dont send this guy money...cut off contacts right now....and for some of the other members of this forum...if you dont mind u can post the guys email and contact info so we can harrass him hahaha...but i hope this info prevents you from losing 7600

Yeah I got on Beyond.ca and we figured it out. He's not gettin' a penny from me.

good...that guy doesnt deserve anything...it sucks though cause u get excited about a great deal...only to find out..its nothing...i hate it...makes me real sad sometimes...cause i do...want an mk4 for a cheap price.. but we will never find it

Just outta' curiosity, say I were to find a single-turbo'd MKIV...are the 2JZs in those the same as the twin-turbo'd MKIVs? B/c if they are, it wouldn't be all bad...I'll probably do single setup eventually anyway.

well the mk4 turbos came from teh factory with teh twin turbos...the single turbo is a custom conversion, same motor...everything is pretty much teh same except that youre now running with one snail rather than two
