1987 Toyota Supra GT Twin Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Its my Baby"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cams ground themselves into the head.
It ran all of the big end bearings.
I blew the clutch to pieces.
The only other thing is the tires I go through two rears a month.
Blew both turbos dragging a REX(beating it.).
General comments?
The new cams I got and extensive head work made a very nice difference.
Single turbo upgrade to a T4 running 18psi.
Lightened and balanced flywheel and crankshaft, with a four pu k clutch.
Apex i air fuel controller.
Turbo-smart B O V and boost controller.
3 1/2 inch exhaust from turbo with no cat.
Lowered on 17inch Spiders.
Resprayed in yellow.
Best quarter mile to date 13.6 at 15psi and with no fuel controller.
