Hi from the UK to all our cousins in the US. That's the formalities over, my name is Ian and apart from the spelling we do it sometimes quite different over here the meaning is the same. And in Toyota Supra world we all talk the same language. My Supra was bought way back in 87.5 by me brand new and I have had her since then, 178000 Klics on the clock and never a BHG or real serious problems, my exhaust is original, every thing on her is except for consumables Oh and new master brake cylinder that went bad about 12 years ago (just about due for another). :icon_razz.
Now I have to be looking at some major work soon and I am contemplating some changes but I hate Turbo's with a vengeance, had two cars that were turbo'd, both went boom real quick. But there are so many superchargers around, and so cheap used as well as new and unused that it has to be a great way to shove extra horses to the rear wheels. I have got some Turbo pistons brand new and unused for $79.00
So I bought them I couldn't get them cheaper unless I stole them. so thinking my car has had some serious road usage then sooner rather than later she is going to need some serious TLC.
So has anyone gone this rout before and if so what was the end result like. I think I would need to change out the maf maybe, piggy back the ECU with an apexi or maybe turbo ECU. If I change out the pistons for Tubby ones my comp should be a bit lower not to blow out the motor.
So if anyone has done this and documented the build can they point me in the right direction please.
Ian
