I am looking at two choices:

1. Go na-t
2. gte swap keeping my w58. (I have an US spec engine available with 40k and cams that can be installed for $6500 out the door parts and labor)

my engine has 140k and I would want to also do the 1.3mm or larger HG to change compression which will add to the cost of going na-t. The plus side for me to going na-t is on the SC 450rwhp is plenty for my plans (at least I say that now ) and na engines are cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you guys think? Thanks

I your compression is good across all cylinders, you could definitely take that $6500 and make more than 320bhp with an na-t set up. If 450rwhp is more than enough for your goals, you are probably getting better value out of lowering compression and boosting your stock motor.

GTE for the ease of tuning.......you will need a tranny though the thirst for more boost/power will prevail.

my opinion do the 6 speed swap, and boost the motor.
in my experience the w58 is junk unless 325rwhp or less.

325? That's kind of low I know a NA to TT converted Supra putting out almost 500 on the W58.

why "gte for ease of tuning"? is a ge not as easy to tune?

seeya

No it is easier to tune the gte on boost since it is set up that way (engine, ecu, etc) from the factory.

I hear ya! I have dumped more money into my Supra's trying to qwench that thirst than I care to admit, but I am looking at another 97 6spd Supra right now to empty my pockets into. Shoot I may even have to sell this one if I get it
