Would they be worth the money? Im getting a job soon, and I’m trying to get a new car for 6-7 Grand..
…and do the turbo setup yourself? could work. could be good
That’s the plan. For 6-7 Grand I could import a Supra SZ, WRX GC8, or an RX-7.. the last one being a stupid idea.
Powerful NA MK4 sounds like a fun build.
Well, 6-7 Grand can get me a decent SZ model. By the time it’s bought and imported to the port, I’ll have the cash to import it to where I live.. and then I’d have the cash for everything else.
Buy one an 2jz gte swap it, you can buy a brand new 2jz engine !
Yeah turbo it!
Definitely worth it. Much cheaper then over here.
But the question is, N/A Supra or RWD Skyline GTS-T..
buy it and then turbo the f—k out of it lol
If you’re in the market for an NA Supra, maybe check out some Lexus SC300/Soarers. They have the same variant of the 2JZ I think, but are a bit classier, comfier and cheaper too!
Apparently no one in this thread knows the difference between the turbo Supra and the non turbo Supra. They do not use the same engine. The N/A Supra is not a turbo Supra without the turbos. There is a reason they have different engine codes. The turbo Supra uses the 2JZ-GTE while the N/A Supra uses the 2JZ-GE. There is a difference between those two engines beyond the turbochargers. The GTE has better pistons, rods, and bearings. The GTE also has a better intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and head gaskets.
You can’t just strap a turbo on the GE and expect the same results as the GTE with a custom turbo setup. There’s a reason the N/A Supras are so cheap. It’s sad that the Mustang guy has to come and educate the JDM guys on their own cars.
Truth be told, I’m not a Toyota guy. Or a Supra guy. I’m only interested because my boyfriend pointed it out on a list of imported car from a local importer that intrigued me. Thank you for your input though, I appreciate the extra knowledge.Though.. i think now I’ll stick with my original plan of importing a GC8 WRX V.5 Wagon. Cheaper.
That’s the same reason why us AE86 guys prefer to swap out our 4age’s for supercharged 4agze’s instead of supercharging the original engine ;)
I’d take a Lexus IS300 over an N/A supra. Same engine for a lower price.

Eh.. honestly, the IS-300 to me is just blander.
