Nic Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 right picking up my supra 2night just wanted to no if there's anything to do to get the most out the engine it already has a big zorst ant indution kit Full service, replacing all fluids, filters, spark plugs, oxygen sensors, distributor cap, rotor arm and plug leads. Sell the induction kit and fit a stock airbox. Does the car still have the catalytic convertors fitted? If it does removing these and fitting decat pipes/tubular manifold + decat pipe will make the car feel a little more responsive and give small gain in hp (5-12hp). Note removing the cats and fitting an aftermarket tubular manifold will make the car very loud. You could look around for a 2nd hand MINE's, TOMS or Blitz Access replacement 2JZ-GE ECU, not cheap but will remove the speed limiter, raise the rev limit slightly and give a small gain in response/power. That's about it in terms of performance modifications worth doing, not cheap and the gains will only be modest. Rather than chasing performance gains, I'd spend the money optimising the handling and braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylinekid Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't know why folks bother fitting thicker head-gaskets either, a stock N/A engine will take 1.1 bar of boost and give 500 horsepower. hang on your telling me a stock n/a engine will take 1.1bar of boost and a turbo with standard internals ? i got the car cos it's a auto and cant use my skyline right now as i have second degree burns to my hand and arm so needed a auto for the next 6 weeks once i can drive a manual again then mite start playing if it can take a turbo that easy was planning on selling one of my skyline's in the near future anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The stock j-spec turbos can handle 1.2 bar max! If you want more boost you will have to either buy hybrids which are steel internals or modify your j-spec turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
