MrHanky Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Im just starting to think about what to do to the Supra next year and thought I would ask you guys for opinions as im not what you would call mechanically minded. Now as much as I love the sound and power of single turbo's, I just cant spend the sort of money needed to do it properly and also I feel that you also need need to budget for the what if scenarios that come with going single. So ideally I would just like the car to be a bit quicker and I am also looking to tidy the engine bay up a bit. Thoughts I have generally for the car are: Uprated cams Uprated cam gears CW suspension setup Polished pipes and intake in the engine bay New dash to update the interior some more Oil pressure gauge Oil temp gauge This is all I have in mind at the moment but would appreciate your thoughts, opinions and ideas. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 uprated pump fpr 550cc injectors (i have some on ebay now - no bidders as yet) Hi Jurgen, what sort of pump are you referring to and what are the benefits of these modifications? Also im afraid I am banned from spending any more on my car this year (apart from maintenance) as I had a respray instead of buying us a new bathroom (Vic wasn't chuffed about that at all) On the other hand.......

colsoop Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Cw suspension and maybe overhaul other suspension parts at the same time. I don't know what mileage your car has done though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, stop making me think about singles If its just the uprated fuel pump then I have that at the moment. With regards to ECU, what would you recommend? I really don't think I will be going single any time soon as we are planning on having another child in the not too distant future. I will probably have a budget of a couple of grand for the year on mods (maybe a bit more here and there ). Thanks for the help so far people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 To make it go quicker a little quicker without going single would be: Cams Injectors A/F controller like a piggy back ECU etc Not much more you can do without a massive budget. Though I have seen on ebay that you can get another 20hp from wiring in a little resistor for about £15 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
