1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Gt3582r With Supporting Mods on 2040-cars
Ruskin, Florida, United States
|
I have owned this car for over 10 years and have modified the engine and drive train to make it more fun to drive. The body is straight with only a couple of dings, and the interior is in exceptional condition with the piping on the drivers seat being the only upholstery problem. The Dash has a crack in front of the speedometer cluster, and one crack in driver arm rest.
I rebuilt the engine when I purchased it about 50,000 miles ago and used ross forged pistons, ACL bearings, and a Cometic 2.o mm head gasket with ARP head bolts. It had a to4B turbo on it when I bought it, which made 425 rwhp after a bit of tuning and supporting modifications including;
Aeromotive FPR
Stainless tubular exhaust manifold
RC 550cc injectors
Tial Blow off Valve and wastegate
Walbro 255lph fuel pump wired independently of harness
GReddy Profec B spec II Boost Controller
SAFC-2 air/fuel control piggyback
Innovate LM-1 Wideband a/f meter
Custom intercooler piping
Cartech FMIC
Lexus AFM
Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust system
RPS 3200# clutch
Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Eibach Sport lowering springs
Tokico illumina TEMS compatible shocks
Supra MKiv TT wheels with very low mileage Firehawk wide ovals 245/45/x17 on front and Nitto 555 285/40x17 on rear
I have since that time added a genuine garret G3582r BB turbo to improve performance and driveability. Having a wideband allows one to adjust fuel on the fly and I have not gotten a dyno run since the new turbo about 3 years ago.
It has the usual old car miscellaneous minor leaks, but has been a daily driver for years. Non smoking car with icy cold A/C.
Not a car for someone without mechanical aptitude and ability, but a great car if you feel the need for speed.
I am now retired and Just don't have the inclination or energy to play with this one anymore.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
