If you're 18 and want a Supra - well, start off with the non-Turbo 7M-GE, still got 204bhp, decent torque and most will have the Limited Slip Diff (all N/A's over here had the LSD). They're much easier to do on RHD cars (British/Australian/Japanese Market) than LHD cars, especially when it comes to Engine Harness and ECU. If a HG blows it's usually just a case of swapping out, but on some occasions, you may need to do replace bearings as well (also not hard).ĢJZ swaps are possible, and have been done, with the R154 gearbox (use the 1JZ bellhousing) although if you get creative with the oxyacetylene torch and a hammer, you can dump in the V160 Getrag from the Mk4 Jellybean. They're not expensive to buy, although be prepared to do at a headgasket change at the very least - especially if you're buying one with dubious maintenance history - the HG spec from new was stupidly low as toyota changed the gasket material but not the bolt spec. Heh - the body is plenty stiff enough compared to a Mustang. Might as well go for a new set of oversize pistons (mine are ceramic topped, 20 thou over) while its stripped down! The HG usually blows between the water galleries on these, although in the event that you end up with oil/water mixing - you have to strip it down and rebuild with new bearings, oil pump and water pump.

Remove old buggered gasket, scrape clean, put new gasket on, studs in the block, lower the head over it, install the studs and voila - all done. Remove the exhaust downpipe, unbolt the fuel lines and wiring, take the crossover pipe off, remove valve covers, take out headbolts - lift off the whole inlet/head/exhaust/turbo in one go. Set of ARP head studs and a regular gasket will see you able to push 12-psi of boost without much issue.Ĭhanging the head gasket on these is a pretty simple job. They later changed the gasket type but not the torque spec. The reason for it is because Toyota was going to use a different headgasket originally, and torque spec for that was 56lb/ft. The headgaskets on Mk3's are well known - i've had one before this one ('88 Normally Aspirated pre-facelift) and the HG on that went.
Well £70 per fill of the tank every other day! :Dīear in mind though - the price is 90% tax :/ Has all the goodies - Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, Electric Seats, Fully Adjustable Climate Control, Cruise Control - all of which works perfectly! Interior is Grey Leather - although a recent theft from the interior means its now slashed to :banana::banana::banana::banana: and will cost £1200 to repair, so i'm throwing a grey cloth interior in for the time being.

Not running any engine mods as yet as it's currently being rebuilt (new rod and main bearings, thrust washers, gaskets, 20thou oversize pistons, water pump, oil pump, ARP head studs, new valve seat inserts & valves), but once done, i'm moving over to the N/A models rocker covers with the Lexus IS300 Coil-on-Plug System (removing the ugly ass coil pack), and shimming the wastegate to bump me up to 11psi of boost (if needed, the elimination of the stock cat and elbow means i'm already spooling quicker and building more boost).

It's built for going round these things in Europe and Japan called 'corners' and while its ultimately a GT/Cruiser, dont let it fool you, it'll give pretty much anything a run for its money! I always liked these Supra's, far more elegant than the loud and brash jellybean Mk4's (only good thing about them were the mechanicals, the bodystyling and interior were 'meh.'). Behold ladles and jellybeans - my soon-to-be-17 year old Toyota Supra!Īfter giving up on most cars made past 1995 and not wishing to have my performance options spoiled by emissions legislation in the UK (no cars built/registered prior to August 1992 need to have a Catastrophic Converter (yes, that was a deliberate pun!)), i decided to go for something quintessentially 80's in style and feel.you have to admit - pop-up headlamps are very cool :D
