Anyone know about 1980's Supras?

No I don't know the code to the turbo, but I do have some good news. I'm getting all of the parts for free. Insurance wants 600 bucks to buy the car back but they have not picked it up. We're going over tonight to pull all the parts I want :p I'll keep you guys updated, it may take a while since I'm in the middle of doing body work and prepping my car for paint also.

Haha digging up an old post but anyway, I've been over at www.supraforums.com for a few months now and I believe you're referring to an mk3 supra in this post. mk3's came stock either N/A or with a single turbo. They never had TT's in them, and I HIGHLY doubt anyone would put a TT setup into one. The MK4 which is the nice looking supra, did come either N/A or stock twins...and the stock twins in the mk4 are the ones you want! with the 2jz block and the stock twins you can easily do 18-20psi boost and around 400-500hp. I love supra's but the mk3 is just way more affordable.

BTW the stock turbo from an mk3 is capable of around 10-13psi tops, I believe stock it comes at 8psi.

because of the engine probs, in japan they installed the 1jz (2.5 TT) in them, i looked into getting one and doing a 1jz swap after my MX bit the dust

1jz was used with a single turbo in the mk3's, 2jz was used with the twin turbo in the mk4's.

2jz is an awesome block, can handle 30psi of boost, huge turbo's, and are capable of well into the 1000hp range. Even DD supra's will run 18-25psi on T88's and make 600-700rwhp. They're insanely nice, and if I had 30 grand to buy a mk4 TT that would be my first choice! But since I only have a few grand, I think the mx-3 is just a bit more reasonible.

umm, the 7M-GTE is the motor in the US supra we are talking about, the 1JZ-GTTE was used in japan as a factory replacment for the 7M-GTE because of the head gasket problems
