Hey /o/ here soon I'm going to be buying a nice mostly garage kept car to go out on the weekends with. Is the stock non-rurbo Supra worth the money? Or would I be better off just saving for a little longer and buying a GTE?
I own an is300 and I like the engine, so that's another reason why I'm really tempted to buy one.

>non-rurbo
The fact that you have to ask.
>>14748740
buy the GTE itll be worth it in the long run
I just don't think the twin turbo engine is worth an extra $20,000. It seems every turbo one is lik3 $50,000 plus and the non turbo's are in the 20's. Can't you just switch out the intake and head and have basically the same engine? Or would this just not even be worth it?

Its ALOT more than just the 'intake & head'
Just buy a civic OP
/thread
The 2jz twin turbo is worth it.
If you get an NA you'll always regret it/ the na engine isn't worth upgrading. Its cheaper to buy a 2jz with the turbo from the factory and swap it in then it is to get an NA and do it.
a Supra is a great car OP. however if you get a NA, don't be a tool and turbo it. while a NA Supra won't win many drag races, it will however be plenty fun in its own way.
plus if you end up building it up you could have a really great NA Supra instead of just an average turbo one.

What would be options for keeping NA but still building it? Literally no one I know ever went that route so I think it'd be unique.
no MKIV Poopra is worth the money
the only good thing about it is the engine

NA is just an expensive way to go slow

You can turbo the N/A engine. I don't know why people still say this shit because it's been done for decades and you can buy literally everything you need to NA-T an atmo 2JZ off the shelf
it's not worth $20k extra to buy a TT unless you just want it for collector value

>10000 under the hood to push 300 whp tops
The literal who of what you did to make your supra gain more hp. Yeah nah everybody does na-t it's one of easiest engine to go na-t with
The 2jz ge lacks oil squirters under the Pistons
It has a higher compression ratio and a different headgasket
Doesn't make it horrible
Many ppl have boosted gs300s with like 400whp with nothing more than an eBay setup with a turbo swap to a high quality one a fuel pump fpr and injectors on a fucking neo.

Depending on where you live and if you can actually get one for what there worth yeah
Their great looking cars, everyone is calling the N/A version slow but they still run mid 6 0-60s which is pretty good for a 90s car. Barely slower than a sw20 turbo
