This is one of my customers cars. We have been building it for the past 4 months. I picked out every part that is on this car. It was stock when I got it. It has about every kick *** part you can imagine. (just a few to list) Greddy T78 single turbo conversion, Tein Type Flex suspension w/ electronic adjuster, HKS 4" turbo back exhaust, AEM stand alone ECU, C-west body kit, Rod Millen carbon fiber wing, 19" Volk GT7 wheels w/ Nitto rubber, NX Direct port nitrous system, NX inter cooler sprayer, Greddy front mount IC, dual HKS BOVs, Brembo 14" brakes w/ 6 piston calipers, Sparco interior, and TONS more!!

I dont remember what it was stock (i has been a long time since I drove it stock)...I am thinking around 13 or 14 psi. We are going to be cranking some big boost in this thing...Wont know exact numbers until it is tuned on the dyno...I will keep you all posted when I find out. But I am expecing over 20 psi 4 sure

Why didn't you put more money into the turbo set-up and the enigine rather than Nitrous?

I have not listed all of the car's modifications, but believe me there has not been anything overlooked in any department. As far as the turbo the owner of the car wanted tro do a single turbo v.s. a dual turbo upgrade. The Nitrous is to spool the turbo only. But like I said b4 I would be writing a book if I listed every mod we have done to the motor. And as far as money goes a T78 conversion isn't exactly cheap. But I can assure you nothing has been overlooked.

big turbo + nitrous = big time fun

to each his own...

I just cant wait to drive the thing! (the whole idea behind this car is to NOT make it a carpet queen! This car will be daily driven, not towing it from show to show!) This car will auto x, drag race, and show. So it is actually legit...unlike most supras u see in magazines!

I wonder if you know Jonas from down here.. Big black guy, used to play in the NFL.. He goes on a lot of trips with his Supra....

He's got a red Supra with EVERYTHING done to it.. T88, 200 shot of NOS, built from the bottom up, ceramic coated everything, wicked body kit, I think he put down 700 something to the wheels with it.. Really nice.. Sick money..

I know the car but not him... I beleive it was at hot import nights last fall. Yes it is a nice car 4 sure! Lots of wrench time...no doubt about that!!! I beleive I have seen it in Daytona once when some event was taking place...micht have been a cannonball run.

The guy is sick with this thing.. I refuse to get into it anymore with him driving it... I remember one time that he raced Jose Conseco in his Lambo with NOS.. The race started at 100mph, and Jonas left him in the dust like he was parked... He said he's hit 210mph in it.. Don't know how he knew that, but he says he did. And I believe him... That **** is nasty.. I love Supra's, just wish they'd bring them back, and change them a little...
