Bolt-on parts

[Rado]

Hey guys !!!

I'm happy to join you on this forum. I'm planing to buy an Toyota Supra MKIII(89-92) 3.0 Turbo. Before I do that i would like to ask you some simple quetions. i'm curious about tuning. Bolting on an intake/exhaust and engine "brain". Can anybody help me out and suggest something about theese upgrades? And can you mention the prices of theese parts.

Thank you for your time

There are plenty of performance parts out there for the MKIII, Do some searching here, you can also find parts reviews.

www.horsepowerfreaks.com should be able to get you started but make SURE that your 15+ year old car is running like a top before you even think about modding it

Thanks for the advice. I will look thrue the webpage you gave. I know that it is hard to find a good MKIII. But wish me luck :icon_bigg

Especially in your neck of the woods. Aren't they pretty rare there?

Yeah, In my city we don't have much japaneese cars. The best what i have seen is a civic with 1.6 DOHC(~160 hp). Half of the city drives BMW 3 series `90-`94. I have seen only one MKIII in the city but i think it wasn't even a Lithuanian one :cry: By the way how much supra costs in US in a good condition? Here is a website you can look thrue it www.mobile.de

This is just from what I've seen but a "Good" condition Supra will usually be around:

NA; $3000-$4,500
Turbo; $4,000 - $7,000

you'll want a cooleze or BIC downpipe or high flow elbow. the rest can be made at an exhaust shop. Bolt on systems name brand are expen$ive. You can get hardpipes made up but Id suggest cooleze pipes or another high quality brand. You can beat the fitment.

Cooleeze dp is in the $300 us range as is the BIC (becauseican)
The IC pipes will run you between $380-$500 us depending how you order. If you bid on cooleze products on ebay you'll get them a bit cheaper.

For an intercooler id definetley suggest pm'ing bigaaron here on the forums. He has good priced spearco style front mounts

To use a cone filter you'll need an afm adaptor. The cheap ebay ones are restrictive i believe. I ordered mine from suprasport.com. its by lipp which is there brand. After you do this you can use a K&N cone filter. You can just put it on the adaptor or use a pipe to route it outside the engine bay

thanks turbowarrior for info. As i see it's going to cost me a "bit" of money. O, well this is what you get if you own a a car which is one of the best oldschool cars from Japan. So it will cost me aprox. 1500-2000$... I think ordering pizza to mars is cheaper then shipping to Europe from US. I hope it will be worth it. And turbowarrior in Lithuania(country i live, good luck finding it on map :icon_razz) we don't have any tuning shops which can hook me up with aftermarket parts. All the putting-together work i will do by myself. i found some pretty good deals on the web but cars have dints and cratches... So it will cost me extra to repair them in the bodyshop. What kind of gas mileage do you get with all your aftermarket stuff under the hood? Did it increas madly?

You are officially the coolest Lithuanian now.

lol.

gas mileage gets worse of course. but its not that much different if you keep off the throttle. If you're full throttle a lot you're going to notice it big time. When i did all these mods i found myself flooring it all the time just to hear the turbo and bov. so be prepared!

 

[Yellow 13]

I think gas mileage may increase a little with BPU (Intake and exhaust) since its more free flowing. But when you get into 550cc injectors and a bigger turbo Im sure it will go down.
