New purchase 85 supra

erock · 03-13-2007, 03:33 PM

Just a question for whoever decides to answer. I just recently got a 1985 toyota supra cheap. And was wondering whats best way to boost the power out of this car it has the 5mge motor. Im looking right now for inexpensive methods later well talk engine swap, i like the get up and go but i see this car putting out alot more than it does. So any comments would be gratefull

if you haven't already, get a better breathing intake and a free-er flowing exhaust, but don't push past 2.5'' or you'll sacrafice the backpressure that helps the N/A's at low RPMs

Strip out as much weight from the car as possible. Smaller diameter tires/rims will get you more "get up and go".
