Joe compare the graphs, there isn't a low end loss at all, the entire power curve is up. Of course you shouldn't expect much from an NA, but this is good hard proof that you should get a 3" exhaust for your NA, especially if you plan on going turbo later so you don't have to buy another exhaust.
If you don't know much about working on cars, your supra will teach you. Things do go wrong, because it is an older car. BUT, you got a great deal on what appears to be a great condition car (Minus the front and rear bumpers :icon_razz ). Welcome to the supra world.
The turbo LSD will have longer gears. Slower acceleration but a higher top speed. The NA has the short gearing to help with acceleration. People often change the 4.30 out for something else because they are sick of the high rpm's while driving on the freeway. The 4.30 was the only option my car...
Mine was loud too, but it didn't sound like that. I had my 3" exhaust on my car when it was NA and loved it. I remember when I first got my 3" exhaust everyone bashed and flamed me and basically 1/50 people agreed with me that 3" exhaust was better. It's funny how things have changed since then...
Who cares if it doesn't make power low end, up top is where it matters. If you are racing and you know how to drive the only challenge is staying in the powerband. There is no doubt that if he can put down 701rwhp he can drive too. :)
Even drag racing from a stop, people do it with even...
Looks like the same original commercial I've seen before but with different music. The old one had a voice I thought and said Oh what a feeling at the end, but was the same commercial even started with the drawing at the beginning.
The car sounds sick, that's a nice looking turbo and engine bay. I don't believe you want to retard the exhaust by 9 degrees, that's pretty extreme, but I'll wait for someone else to jump in.
Exactly. If done correctly your engine bay temp will drop, your intake air temp will drop, and your cooalnt temp should also drop.
Joe - The heatwrap will only make the most difference on the exhaust pipes. Obivously on turbo cars that includes the manifold, rear of the turbo, and the...
I don't mean low rear by tucking the tire. Is that even possible without going to a coilover?
Most spring/shock combos I see when people have a low rear the wheel fits
perfectly in the fender with little to no gap. I can't imagine something mild in the rear with stock weight, because there...
H&R is nice if you like the front being lower than the rear. I think the best combo if you want a low setup without going to a coilover is H&R springs in front and intraxx in the rear. This is the setup I debated when I was first shopping for suspension. Intraxx is known for having a low rear...
I wouldn't pay more than $1600. New struts? The front looks way higher than it should be. Although he replaced a lot of stuff he should know he won't get that money back out of the car. He says new "coil, coil module", I'm assuming he means spark plug wires and distributor? A mechanic should...
