First thing to do for more power...

[Gumby1]

1988 supra turbo 5spd. Bone stock. what would you guys recommend to speed it up a little. I'm not talking bigger turbo or anything but the obvious things to do. I've been a VW tuner for years but i'm new to the Supra. What works and what doesn't?

first things...
intake filter for turbo...
exhaust...get a 3 inch dpipe, and full 3 inch exhaust...that'll give you some nice power..
550 cc injectors, lexus afm...
manual boost controller, turn the boost up a little bit.

If you've been in the 1.8T scene at all, there are some tricks that you could probably apply

please...enlighten all of us

[repinS]

1.8T = the four cylinder turbo motor found in Golfs, Jettas, New Beetles, Passats, Audi A4's, etc... there's a lot of potential when it comes to modding those motors. More complex electronics than a 7M-GTE though, I'd be willing to assume. Don't know too much beyond that.

Oh, lol, i knew wut 1.8T was, but i thought you had some specific mods in mind
thanx though

I think he was just talking about in general. Other than a the electronics, tricks that typically work on boosted cars, work on boosted cars. There's nothing special those VW Guys know that we don't. Other than how to ridiculously engineer vehicles... ;-)

[Gumby1]

Yeh no secrets on the VW's, just the odd part that makes a good power boost for the $$$$. What about boost controls what kind etc is worth using?

[slacker]

so wil the 550cc injectors go in without any other fuel mods ?

[ahmedootie]

anything will go...just a matter of how it will work ...your best using 550 cc injectors with the lexus AFM which is about 150 dollars from ebay

[slacker]

Is the lexus afm just a bigger bore ? ... can the original be "worked" ... i have access to a lathe . please tell me your oppinion.

[Jeeves]

Original cannot be worked. It's a much larger part. It flows more air and has a passage that allows more unmetered Air through. When's all said and done the reason the 550cc's and the Lex. AFM work so well is the fact that when you run the numbers the extra fuel, and the extra air that's coming in perfectly balance out.

So:
- 550cc's without the Lexus AFM = too much fuel, too rich, potential for cylinder wash.
- Lexus AFM without 550cc injectors = too little fuel, uber-lean, detonation and destruction of valves, pistons and cylinders.

[slacker]

jeeves ... your a welth of info and knowledge . I thank you .

tell me what lexus AFM is best for the 550cc injector mod ... which one shoud I purchace .

a cheap mod to increase the boost is take some washers that fit a 3/8" bolt and put them between the waste gate acuator, or well thats what I heard. her go to this site its where I found out about it http://mkiiisupra.homeip.net/basic_7m.html

OR...you could get a manual boost controler for about 20 bucks off of ebay...and do tha same thing
