What's The Cost to Single Turbo a Toyota Supra?

How much does it cost to single turbo a MKIV Toyota Supra?
The most common mod for a MKIV Toyota Supra build is to remove the oem twin turbos and perform a single turbo conversion. The cost of a single turbo conversion can vary depending on if you are buying a pre-made kit or sourcing all the parts yourself.
The cost for a turbo kit for a Toyota Supra can vary depending where you get all the parts from. There are many Toyota Supra specific turbo kits available online if you want to take all the guess work out of buying a kit. Going with a Supra specific kit will be the most costly option for sourcing all the required parts. The cost of a single turbo kit for a Toyota Supra will range from $5,000-$8,000 depending on turbo size and options.
Alternatively, you can source all the required parts separately yourself and save a substantial amount of money. I've put together a list of the major components you will need to single turbo a Toyota Supra in this video. The cost for a turbo kit when sourcing the parts will depend highly on the quality of parts your budget will allow. One place I would not cheap out on is the turbo itself, stay with a known brand like Precision or Borg Warner. Safe sizes of turbos to run while still on the stock ecu would be the Precision 6266,6466, and 6766 or Borg Warner S362 and S366.

You are genuine guy! thank you . I have a supra n/a in cali an plan on bringing her back to life.

[@thegod3543]

i have a 67 in mine the stock fuel wasn't enough past 10-12 psi, and also one cost no one factors is when you take a 20 year old motor and start adding power at least 100-2000 on top of factory, you can wear out bearings in the motor, if you have a heavy clutch you can walk the crank, 20 year old parts dont handle stress well, so plan to spend always anywhere from 1-5k on top of what you plan

[@nope15432]

Great job man ! Very impressed with your knowledge, I cringe watching other people’s videos when they know nothing about their cars, or cars in general lol I can see you becoming big!

[@TunerTestDrive]

Hey thanks for the feedback! I've been around Supras for about 10 years now so I have a decent amount of knowledge to pull from for these types of videos.

[@olukunle]

Just completed a single turbo install with info from this video, this is a good starting point. I went the way of piecing stuff together, a lot more work and lots of modifications to the universal FMIC, I used a BW 362SXE, first start was one time and the engine ran and idled well. I need to sort out some vacuum lines I can hear hissing and and giving me some rough idling, apart from that she's sounding angry and ready to go! So thanks for this video, great starting point that led to deeper research everything works! 👊🏾👊🏾👍🏿

[@TunerTestDrive]

Awesome, glad this video was useful. That turbo did you end up going with and what’s your power goals?

[@olukunle]

​@@TunerTestDrive I ended up with a Borg Warner 362SXE, power goals are whatever I can get out of stock install mostly because I've never heard of any tuners in my country and I absolutely no dynos to tune with any way......So right now I'm having idling issues I believe its because my vacuum lines are all messed up, most of the lines are disconnected and broken and I have no idea where to put them. My Boost gauge is connected with instructions seen on MKIV but my boost gauge is reading negative boosts, is it supposed to be reading negative? What should I do with he vacuum lines?

[@olukunle]

OK this is sorted now, just went back and re-plumbed the vacuum on the intake according to the manual as stock and blocked off some VSV's and anyone I didn't know where it should go, car idles beautifully! Maxtow boost gauge must be faulty, still reading negative boosts

[@96SupraTT]

Older video, but good solid MKIV content! Unlike every other recent MKIV vid on KZbin consisting of 5% Supra content/95% narcissistic daily fake life, 100% shilling products no one wants that you got free, playing with your kids, or bastardizing a clean MKIV into a ghetto Fast & Furious flat-brim build. That said, a single turbo setup on stock fuel/ECU is pointless. I tend to see this setup paired with a stock clutch or stock auto which is even worse. An otherwise bone-stock MKIV benefits greatly from an aftermarket clutch or built auto. You can get the same ballpark power under the curve on stock twins with OEM driveability without any headaches and hassle than a single setup without supporting mods. Nearly everyone misses this simplicity once going single, so all the negatives and none of the positives of an unleashed single turbo setup with supporting mods which is still amazing 30 years later. People do it for the bling and single turbo status it appears, while a proper BPU car walks them.

[@Pito14MK4]

That’s what I’m doing now don’t know if to buy a kit or go searching for the best price witch Makes the build more exciting great video

[@TunerTestDrive]

What size turbo are you looking at? Are you doing fuel as well?

[@JevsSupra]

Whats up man, please make a video about rear diffuser . i mean how you installed it, how it looks overall, and which one you have. Is it shine auto or ebay? i am just planning to get one. Thanks and nice Supra btw ;)

[@TunerTestDrive]

Thanks for stopping by, I've watched a lot of your vids! Lol. Doing a full video on iinstalling the diffuser is on my list of stuff I want to do. Overall I like the look, I feel like you need the TRD wing to pull it all together though. Not sure on the brand, I got if off a friend. Carbon weave looks good though. Since I'm Running radials on the street, I put it on as a way to protect my paint from all the rocks and debris the tires kick up. The diffuser is always full of stones and crap my tires kicked up from the road.

[@hiimdrummer03]

The main difference in the cost of pre-made kit and self made kit was the turbo...

[@TunerTestDrive]

1300 vs 600. Significant, but there's still savings to be had outside of buying a kit.

[@moddedvet7555]

Going with option 2 on the hunt for a 240-260-280z pairing with a 2jzgte and a cd0009 transmission pretty excited definitely one of the major points to the single turbo set up is maintenance makes getting around in the engine bay a lot easier to work in

Great Video! Did you need a boost cut controller to get to 18 psi on the stock ecu? I will be installing my hallman pro mbc on the stock twins later today!

[@TunerTestDrive]

Yes you will need some kind of bcc to run higher boost on the stock ecu. Hallman is a good mbc for sure

[@cautionontherun30]

The oem ecu will only work with a non vvti, for vvti ull need an aftermarket ecu that can control vvti other wise u cannot exceed 14.psi

That's good to know! I was only considering USDM original 2JZ-GTE cars, which didn't come with vvti.

[@JJ-df4kx]

Thats BS. I'm running 16psi on a vvti on stock jdm twins. On supraforum lots of guys run 600/700 crank hp with the standard ecu. Bet thats more than 14 psi.

[@olukunle]

Hi, First of all thanks for this informative video, short and sharp! I've watched this over and over, just planning a restore and single Turbo on a 93 TT I got. I have poured through hours of videos and resources, I saw one video with a turbo that had both oil lines and coolant lines plumbed through it, but I noticed that the Borg Warner setup you have doesn't have coolant lines running into it, all coolant lines seem to be blocked off, is this correct?

[@TunerTestDrive]

Yes Borg Warner and many other turbos manufacturers offer some turbos that are only oil cooled. In this case you can just block off the existing turbo coolant feed lines that feed the ORM twin turbos, as they will not be needed.

[@BWG05]

Howdy, thanks again for this video Single Conversion up and running but AFR is not stable, I bought a DET3 to piggy back and do a MAF delete and perhaps have some control over the stock injectors, would you happen to have a diagram/pinout of how to wire up the DET3? My car is a 2JZ-GTE USA version

[@yourstruly_johnny5843]

Were you successful in doing this or did you go full standalone?

[@olukunle]

@@yourstruly_johnny5843 howdy, I gave up trying after spending days on different configurations. I eventually got the car to start but I connected without the injectors run into det3 but it ran way too rich. I guess standalone is the way to go, a very solid 2k from what I've seen out there but when and if I'm ever chasing bigger power numbers, it will be done.

[@notanexpert5010]

So i purchased a power house racing kit(without the turbo) for my car and i have a precision 6262 turbo that i will be using with it and i was curious as to where you sourced out some of the random nuts and bolts you needed and was curious to what else i need for the instal? i plan on doing it myself and I've never done it before so thank god for youtube! lol

[@TunerTestDrive]

What are you looking for? The PHR should have had most if not all the random nuts/bolts you needed.

[@notanexpert5010]

it didn't come with any bolt to mount the turbo to the manifold as i didn't purchase a turbo with the kit because i already had one.. and it didn't come with any new bolts to mount the intake manifold so id have to use the old ones.... also i realized it didn't come with a new gasket to go between the manifold and the block so do i need a new one of those as well?

[@damnitdang]

How had the pte6262 worked out for you? Any dyno#? Which size .ar did you go with?

[@joewhyte90]

Late comment but can you install a turbo into the non aspirated supra the SZ?

[@lukealward5856]

Yes but it's not as reliable

[@qmarq]

genuine question. I love cars and I'm open to many cars but I just love the supra.. should I get a supra right now? or would it be just too costly? altho the longer I wait the more it will cost in the end. and this is more of a stupid question probably but it's probably better to get basic non modified supra and then do all the mods myself to reduce total cost rather than just pay for one which is fully modified and ready, right?

[@TheHemiphil81]

You better snatch it up now, I sold my perfectly restored 66 mustang and cash to buy a 96 twin turbo supra.

[@qmarq]

@@TheHemiphil81 for how much? completely stock? why twin and not single?

[@TheHemiphil81]

Stock twin turbo 33 thousand miles. Total cost of the supra was 55 thousand

[@droneva9354]

what about upgrading a NA to a turbo, will it be too much work or way to expensive or too many parts needed?

[@rk_driftz2348]

Droneva it’ll cost a bit less but the power output would be less cause the stock na motor isn’t made to handle much boost.

[@saitodet]

whats you was saying about the iacv? its only for the vvti with because the have a MAF right ? or does it have to be plugged to the piping absolutly

[@TunerTestDrive]

If you're car is a USDM model you'll need to keep the iacv pipes to a point after the MAF. If it's a JDM model they run off MAP and don't need the iacv piped back to the intake

[@ps.6023]

wait so you DONT need an ECU?

[@TunerTestDrive]

On a USDM car, you can get away with these mods on a stock ecu.

[@MrRitzscapeOwner]

Do you have problems with your couplers off the turbo outlet that close to the exhaust manifold?

[@TunerTestDrive]

It's been a few years with that setup and no issues yet. Ideally it would be great to have a elbow welded on to drop the coupler down a few inches and be further away from the manifold.

[@mrxklash]

6:43 I couldn’t find the last one because I’m dumb

[@node5884]

holset turbos are the best

[@DanielBerthellemy]

Why would someone turn twin turbo into single ?

[@TunerTestDrive]

In this case, the twin turbos are small and limit power. A single, larger turbo can help produce much more power.

[@tkrice97kt]

Hello tuner drive! I have a question for U. I have the same setup greddy T78 . How do U do the mapping in stead of maf? My still using the maf help please thanks appreciate very much Cheers.

[@TunerTestDrive]

You'll need a piggy back (map ecu) or standalone ecu to get rid of the MAF

[@daniniki_musicgoodlife5606]

No tune needed?????

[@RudeDesire]

Where or how are you venting the IACV currently without a MAF?

[@TunerTestDrive]

If you remove the MAF you will need to switch to MAP/Speed density to determine airflow (piggy pack or standalone ecu would be needed (assuming this is a US spec car). You would then just put a filter on the IACV where the pipe used to run after the MAF.

[@RudeDesire]

@@TunerTestDrive You said 500hp with stock fuel setup, @ what boost?

[@TunerTestDrive]

Stock fuel system and 18 psi should get close to 500 (USDM Spec with the larger injectors)

[@RudeDesire]

@@TunerTestDrive thanks for replying! Is there a boost cut on the stock ecu? Or 18psi is what the stock boost is?

[@TunerTestDrive]

No you’ll need a boost cut eliminator to run that type of boost on the stock ecu

How much hp i can take on stock engine and what parts i need to get 600-700hp can you help?

[@thegod3543]

the main components block, head will handle the power, but thrust bearings, rods, etc can be spun at 500 hp, even cranks can be walked. just depends the condition of the motor. if you have a 100k mile motor be prepared for anything

[@shnill]

Why colder plugs? Never heard that

[@TunerTestDrive]

Higher boost(or bigger turbo and same boost as a smaller one) produces more heat. A colder plug will help dissipate the heat. If a plug gets too hot it can cause power loss, and detonation. Even at BPU levels on the stock twins it is recommended to use a colder plug.

[@johnnyrocket80085]

I thought 2jz's are bullet proof and make 1000hp so why all these additional costs and new parts required bro??

[@TunerTestDrive]

The stock block has held 1000hp, but that is a ticking time bomb ready to bend rods. 700-800 is the ‘reliable’ power limit of the stock block.

[@antonnikander7763]

Hi, can you put that turbo kit on a stock supra with the naturally aspirated engine that doesn’t have turbos from the beginning and without anh changes make 500hp?

[@TunerTestDrive]

It’s not as straight forward on the NA engines. Depending on the type of GE (VVTI/non VVTI) can limit the strength of the bottom end. The NA engines also weren’t designed for boost so the compression is high, fuel system is smaller, ecu will need upgraded, and drive train is weaker. So you can boost the GE but it’s a little more involved than a GTE to push it to 500hp and beyond.

You’ll either need a piggyback to control the extra fuel on the stock GE ecu, convert to the TT ecu (mods to the ignition will be required as well) and still potentially need a piggy back ecu, or go with a stand-alone option.
