Supra/ 2jzgte experts around SoCal - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

SmsAlSuwaidi · 06-05-2013, 08:17 PM

Well I'm trying to list the top supra shops around SoCal I do know a few but hope to hear reviews and some first hand experience.

The reason is currently I think the hassle of building this motor is too much.

1) all the DI issues
2) the drivetrain
3) the price of the components considering its a new market

Now I know you could argue they run fine at 250wheel but I'm kinda aiming for 600+wheel
So it seems the 2jzgte is the ideal platform to hold this power and I'm very familiar with, and the v160 gear box I know for a fact is bullit proof. With the addition of @FullBlown mustang diff , axles things should be fine.

I hope people don't jump in saying I should've got another car and say I'll ruin the balance. I don't plan on tracking it but I do plan on taking it to the strip and build it as a exotic killer

and hopefully faster than the other cars I own !

FSR in Montclair! They brought my Supra up to 600WHP with ease and fixed a lot of the small issues the previous owner left on it

, they are very friendly and offer great prices.

I second FSR. All my supra friends go there and their work is awesome.

I really doubt I could build it there .... It's just so expensive. Im still considering it for a last resort though.

Check out Evasive Motorsports. One of their guys is daily driving a 1001 HP turbo charged Supra. I think he built it himself. He's been driving it for 10 yrs or more and it still runs well and looks great.
