Hey guys. I would just like to introduce myself and not be a lurking troll on here. I just sold my 2001 VW GTI VR6 turbo and I'm doing some research now before I buy another car. The MK3 Supras caught my attention because of their huge aftermarket, incredible power and sound, and, even best, I don't need to drop $3,000 again to put some balls on it. :naughty:

Here's what I finished working on.

I pieced it all together in my back garage over the winter. It laid down 333/296 at 10psi and ran 13.8 at 109mph. It's equipped with a 60-1, 450CC injectors, 2.5" exhaust, 4" intake, all on a flash tune.

My dad and I also race a 1990 Dodge Caravan 2.5 Turbo with a 50 trim, F350 FMIC, water injection, 550 CC injectors, and 25psi of boost.

Anyway, hopefully if I can learn more about these cars I'll buy one towards Spring time and start having some RWD fun! Hope I didn't talk too much about my other toys!

Those are some nifty toys you were/are playing with. The van is a great sleeper, I imagine. A friend of mine was running high 11's on one of those vans, and taking people's money on the streets. And that motor is so clean. Did you turbo the VW yourself? I bet that car was fun, too. And good luck with your Supra search. Check the classified section here, and you might get yourself a modded bargain, and like you said, start having some serious rw fun. Anyways, welcome to the forums.

Welcome aboard.

Nice! You've got one of those awesome turbo caravans. I was looking into getting one of those to screw around with.

It's more fun than my GTI was. ;) I just wish my dad would fork up more money to step up our game some more on it. He's cheap so we're still rockin the stock 2 piece intake manifold and stock exhaust manifold. The rest is built as far as our aftermarket lets.
