It's not just hp. It's also a question of low-end torque, your differential ratio, your fuel system, your tires, your suspension... a small host of things.

As an aside, I personally see little...

If you've actually got a 1992 Supra I'd keep it more-or-less stock, even if it's currently a non-turbo. Personal opinion of course, but I wouldn't even consider an 1J engine swap for it. Do a...

Might want to check your AFM. If you've gone through all the vacuum lines (and there are a BUNCH of them, some tucked away and hiding), check your AFM connections and the I/C piping for problems.

I think I'm going to sit back and wait to see how your experiment works out. Sounds interesting in any case.

Try loosening up the bolts without removing them first, see if that gives you enough play to get to the ks. If that doesn't work you'll have to pull the starter off and out of the way, but that's...

That's a diagram of one of your VSV's, not a knock sensor. You can bolt it up anywhere or nowhere so long as the wiring connector is secure and you have the vacuum lines to it hooked up properly.

Going from underneath is the easiest. Note that I said easiest, not easy. It's still something of a PITA, but less so than many other tasks maintaining these cars.

You'll have to loosen (but not necessarily remove) the starter in order to get to that KS. That's why everyone hates having to deal with that KS.

Get used to it. The MkIII tends to be very jealous of your time, attention, and money. Look at it as being the expensive mistress you never thought you could afford. :naughty:

That's a stock, OEM tail light assembly for your year model. Pick one up at a salvage yard, check ebay, post a "Wanted" message here in the parts section.

Same-same the trim you're looking for.
