The reason we went with one this far was mainly due to the scarcity of the exact type we wanted: Smaller single (T61 or T67), less than 100k miles, Black, Targa, 6spd....When you get that picky then you have to expand your range. There were a few on this side of the country but they either had too many miles or were in poorer condition. Also, the Supras on the West Coast - because they're so plentiful - can be bought for a few thousand less than on the east coast...although that money gets eaten up by having it shipped over.

With fueling + C16 + cams the setup is good for around 700whp. Thats plenty. Stock cams and stock heads. If we go with cams we'd most likely go with 264s, they're good for another 40whp+-.
The motor was pulled and rebuilt while the owner was having the turbo kit installed/tuned. The motor was fine prior to that, but he had it taken out and redone because he was totally anal about everything. Headgaskets, Valve gaskets, TB, water pump, etc...all of it minus the bottom end. It has the HPF bronze sprung disk/RPS Pressure plate/RPS CynRG LWF - all rated at 800whp. HKS Carbon Ti 3" catback. We could always upgrade to a straight 4" exhaust, but it still shoots flames as is.

Everything is controlled via a MAP 2 Piggyback.
700WHP Supras are a dime a dozen

amazing....by far one of the if not the sickest cars in roanoke. i have a soft spot for supras. ive ALWAYS wanted one EXACTLY like that. what kind of power/ boost are you running on pump? pump gas run?
you've now got a lot more displacement for out of boost power and to help spool a bigger turbo over the FD....might as well use it.

I've seen that video before, thats a ridiculously large turbo!
This thing looks like it wants to rip off the dyno...

It may do a tad better on 93 here + the colder temps, since its winter time and it was dyno'd in the summer.
Pump runs would be great. You gotta promise not to run Alky you alcoholic.

We just need injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump and another tune and it'd be good for much more...(~550 pump and 650+ on race)
