I have a 87 supra turbo, and it has 122,000 miles on it and the head gasket has been replaced with a metal one. But i was wondering how long do these motors last befor they lose power or when you have to rebuild them?

You will get at least another 100,000 out of it as long as you take care of it.

My engine needed its first rebuild at 260,000. All it really needs though is a new valve. It was running on all the original parts, other than the little things that need to be changed so often.

260,000 on the original turbo? if not how manny miles do they last?

Nah, 260,000 on an N/A. The turbos should last to around 180,000 from what Ive heard. You should look into getting a 93+ celica CT-26. Ive heard theyre made in a slightly different way that makes them a little better.

Leave those ceramic units alone. Spend your money on an aftermarket unit, and do some homework before buying anything.

Just suggesting the Celicas CT-26 as a cheap alternative to a good thing lol. Not like we can all afford some nice garretts : ) .I remember hearing from a friend that has a celica. Toyota changed something to make them a little more durable.

Don't waste your money.

Whats a good turbo to run on an Mk3? I gonna need something with a quick spool since I use it on the track and switch between gears alot.
