what should i do with my 91 supra turbo targa approx 150k- (engine, etc.) , OR ...?
hey folks,
i've had this supra turbo targa sitting for about 3 years now with no definitive plans. it would probly be wise to throw in a new engine if i were going to rebuild but i don't know which direction to go in at that- thats my main question: should i throw in a stock 7mgte (standard as in std oem north america) or jspecd 1jzgte or 2jzgte (std mk iv)
the basics of my mk iii supra: (incl. problems)
engine - runs, but burns a qt every 300 mi
turbo
5 speed - no problems on trans side
targa - leak on driver side
painted in 99 or 00 - still good but rear bumper needs a touch up
shaved door handles
18" chrome albas
meineke exhaust
i think thats it.
if i want to rebuild it has to start with an engine- no brainer, but what? i'm fine with STOCK turbo engines, but obviously the better the mod options on each engine - the more appealing that option is. i say better as there are of course economic aspects. i don't race but of course we all want a faster car - i don't need to spend 15gs to make a 12 sec car. but say if i invested an extra 5gs over stock and can cut a sec off i might take a look into it. by the way i'm just spitting numbers, i've never priced engines before, nor have i ever dyno-ed a car. i'm pretty sure though a stock 7mgte turbo probly does around a 7 sec 0-60 around a 15 sec 1/4 mi.
so with that - what should i do? single turbo / twin turbo? can i maybe upgrade turbo on top of a rebuilt? OR if you know someone who maybe done the whole shebang twin turbo, injectors, afm, exhaust... and it seemed like it was worth the cost.
any opinions?
OOOOORRRR, should i just buy another one already built
or finally i see 04 gtos in a reasonable price range $14,000 +
thanks
