hello to everyone!!

[supra1]

Just wanted to stop by and say hello and say what a FANTASTIC forum this is.
Ever since I bought my beloved mk3...ive been avidly reading up on how I can get Lots Mo Powa out of it...and this place has got tonnes of top info and knowledgeable folks by the look of it.

Thats it for now really :icon_bigg

but heres a quick pic of the beast...(7M GTE manual gearbox)
At present she is running a 3" custom turbo back Zorst (sounds lovely I must admit) and a shimmed wastegate and manual boost controller.
The car is an 89 car and pretty much mint...I fell very lucky and bought it from a fellow enthusiast (3 owners in its life)
Anyway

Immediate plans are metal headgasket

ARP througout.

550's ++ or more

Walbro

new wheels

etc :biglaugh:

Welcome to Supramania!!!Very nice ride there dude, I like the Uk's 89+ supra with the pre89 tails. Good choice for a starter, with a better and stronger headgasket and ARP you're ready to put down some heavy mods:evil2:

 

[AaronsSupraMKIII]

Sweet looking car man. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys. Well pleased with the car.
Now just got to find a thread about what the stock exhaust manifold is capable of (rwhp wise).....
Is it a T3 flange Im guessing?
thanks

Very clean Supra you have there! The stock exhaust manifold is actually flanged just for the CT26 turbo. It's more square than the T3 housing, and still doen'st match with the T04 flange either. If you wanted to go big utilizing the stock manifold, the 'Lipp Boss' turbo's are pretty hard to beat!:naughty: :boink: You could port the stock manifold yourself. Or just keep it simple, and get a CT upgrade done by one of the two places that do them on Mania'. I had a .57trim that made pretty decent power, even with the car untuned.

Thanks a lot

What sort of cost am I looking at for a CT upgrade please? and what sort of power can they make? (beefiest upgrade possible!)

Nice car and welcome

Nice car and welcome

Thanks, your car sounds like a beast.
GT 74 !! :naughty:

wow very nice and clean! Is that original paint? what kind of mileage--- the interior looks to be pretty nice as well...

Like the solid top too, more rigid w/out the targa slicin' up the chassis' support.

 

[jugodegolf]

Glad to have you. Good looking car.

 

[black91turbo]

Thanks a lot

nice car!!! An upgraded ct 26 runs about 500-600 bucks with a core. I am no expert but on a 57 trim i think you are looking at about the 350 hp range safely and about 370-400 on a 60 trim. MDC makes one where you keep the stock housing but he puts a garret interanls in it....that is supposed to be pretty badass as well....just check out the vendor section


WELCOME TO SUPRAMANIA! :icon_bigg

Thanks!
it is completely original paint! Mileage is about 80k. 3 owners from new and full Toyota service history up until the last enthusiast owner who only didi about 6k miles in it iirc

jugodegolf - thanks

Thanks for the info :naughty:
I think I am going to get a T4 manifold adapter in that case :naughty: SOunds like it may be less retrictive in terms of what turbo I can use..... Im looking for 500 whp really as a minimum to justify having to remove the engine and semi build it (first off).
Im already hooked on buying a MAFT pro :love:

Thanks Clied :biglaugh:
I'm going to have a hard job keeping my head inside the hard top at this rate because its growing so fast from all these compliments about my car!! :icon_bigg

Seriously though, its great to get some appreciation from fellow Mk3 fanatics :naughty:

Thanks Guys.

 

[st2b]

Wow man that's an amazing looking car, and it seems to have the owner that will suit it's needs. I have an obsession with the white on white hardtops!

 

[JesseH]

Welcome:icon_bigg

 

[supra1]

Thanks guys
appreciate it.

Slightly off topic and in the wrong place....but has anyone managed to fit the largest of the XS power style intercoolers to a Mk3??

as I have one in my garage and am hoping to use it and then get some hard pipes made up during the engine build.. :biglaugh:

600mm x 300mm x 100mm (4 inch thick!)

Aircon has been removed from my car but has anyone fitted one of these brutes please?
Any guides or bracket ideas knocking about on SF?

Hey guy.
