mmk if you were going to go somewhat hardcore towards the drifting I would suggest the 1jz, higher revving and lighter weight. You could basically do next to nothing to the engine and achieve close to 500hp. I know a tuner that has achieved that, I can find out the details of exactly what he did.

Hello, I am in the same boat. I just got my hands on a 1988 Supra Turbo. I have to do some repairing to the exhaust, tires, and battery. But I know how to take care of those. I plan on creating a daily driver and a track purpose car. Only after I gain enough money would I try to ensure drifting. I really want to know what are some popular parts for this model, I plan to use most of my earnings on suspension and tires. Then I plan to spend whatever I have left on minor power improvements. My target horse power would be 260-300hp.

slap an exhaust on it and a k&n filter and you will be close to 260bhp but go to jscspeed.com suprastore.com suprasport.com horsepowerfreaks.com and see what they have to offer but i will tell you that these cars respond well to exhaust upgrades and i would upgrade the intercooler as well

It is good to hear that because I only planned on doing intake and exhaust upgrades on it. I do not want to dump in a lot of major power upgrades for my first supra and first car ever all around.

This is going to be my first car and I want to treat it right. So as for suspension improvements. I really don't know what I want to do, but I want it to be stiffer and lower to the ground. Probably about 3" or less. I want a good amount of ground clearance but a stiff suspension that would be good for going around a tight corner.

I plan on creating a track and sort of sprint car, something that could handle well.

Hi guys, Im planning to get a 88 Supra, but im planning to get a 1jz engine, I was wondering if I can adapt the 7m transmission to the 1jz, also If I want to run approx 450hp what mods should I start thinking of?

Thanks and greetings from Costa Rica!!
