What's the best turbo for the 1991 Supra MKIII ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was wondering which brand makes the best turbo mod, including intercooler, wastegate, hosing, etc. for the MKIII Supra? Any suggestions? Like i said, I'm planning on buying a MKIII turbo soon and I want to first see what I can do and not do. Of course, I might have to do some fix-ur-up with the engine first, like port and polish, replacing gaskets, etc.

best is subjective. What are your goals?

Drivinthasupra,
Without knowing his goals it's not even smart to guess at what he means by best. On top of that, assuming that everything from Suprastore.com is good, is a very VERY bad idea.

Basically, a weekend driver. Sometimes daily. I just want a decent turbo with some decent power upgrade, with a nice blowoff valve.

And please, no Greddy's I'm not much of a fan for Greddys. HKS or others are acceptable. I prefer Blitz's turbo kit, but I'm not sure if they even have one for the MKIII Supras.

Maybe below 320 HP perhaps?

320hp? stick to the stocker. 320 to the wheels is well within it's range, andabout as little lag as you're going to get. You will need some supporting mods, but nothing dramatic to carry it there (exhaust from turbo back would be ideal, 550cc injectors, lexus AFM/MAF-T, SAFC type computer, a boost controller and a fuel pump).

lets get a cost estimate, i know exhaust will be around 800 to a grand, not sure on the rest, this is pretty much my goal too though.

Sounds about right.

Hmmm, thanks for the output. I'll jog it down and hopefully, will get it right. Thanks a bunch!

Yes, I decided on 320 HP because of gas right now. Don't want to over power the engine where it'll eat up the gas too much.

albertmdh · 04-15-2005, 12:09 PM

yeah, mine eats up to much anyways, compared to my corolla at least...

ahmedootie · 04-15-2005, 11:35 PM

Jeeves · 04-16-2005, 04:13 PM

I averaged between 17 (Intown Insane-o driving) and 25 (Freeway).

albertmdh · 04-16-2005, 04:24 PM

im all for insane-o driving, i showed a n/a 300zx who the man was on the way to work, really funny. He was revvin' at the stop light, and i didnt even look at him, it turned green and i just took it hard through second, waited for him to catch up, and smiled at him.
