i hhave recently purchased a 90 supra. Turbonetics red did the t @ 85k it has 96k now. I am new to the Toyota bracket as i have always owned classic muscle cars. Could any of you guys give me some ideas on engine mods to help this engine kick it alot faster. Iput on mSD ignition, new wires and plugs, catback exhaust, turbo timer, and new springs. I am putting her in the shop in a few weeks to have new timing belt, and replace front seal and cam seals. I figure while they have her all apart it maybe a perfect opportunity to put a liitle more gas on the fire! Any and all help would be appreciated, also if yall know any great mechanics in NC it would help out. Thanx in advance.

What was done to the turbo? What kinda upgrade, most people are very pleased with the CT-26 upgrades. I don't buy into em cause for the same money i could have a TO4E pumping out more HP more efficiently, plus the turbonetics wastegates don't tend to function well, along with the fact that most peoples 60-1's fail fairly quickly. What kinda goals did you have in mind here, john lundsford made 440hp and 470tq on a 60-1 CT-26 not too long ago, that's a fast car by most peoples standards. Best thing you could do now is fix the exhaust, full 3" elbow (suprasport cast unit or the JBL steel one) a 3" downpipe and a 3" straight through exhaust if you don't have it already. You could up the boost, an EBC is your best bet, lots of choices, i love the 2nd gen AVC-R, lots of people us a PROFEC, and theres a bunch of others, they all do the same thing really. Well this is turning into a novel, i'll just let you read all this..
