mkIII

an incredible machine which included 3 different types of engines. a single turbo 3.0l 7mgte, a twin turbo 2.0l 1g-gte and a twin turbo 2.5l 1jz-gte.
all engines have an incredible amount of strength and potential. many people achieving 500rwhp and some going as far as 700-800rwhp. these cars are underrated and unappreciated. however, it increases the stealth factor.
the great johnny d installed simple bolt on modifications to his mkiii 7m-gte powered supra and has embar-ssed ls1’s, nsx’s, and cobras and has spent a mere fraction of the cost of a used neon. fstoy pushing 800hp and mr neely throwing up 730rwhp are further examples of this amazingly stealth machine 🙂
third generation of the toyota supra powered by a 7m(gte) and 1jz engine between 1986.5 and 1992

head gasket problems (bhg) were caused by toyota torque specs being too low along with having a composite head gasket.
properly built, this car can blow away the compet-tion

the third generation supra following 2 generations of celicas. the mki and mkii were celicas rebadged as celica supras.

the mkiii was powered by a 1g, 7m, and 1jz engine between 1986.5 and 1992 in the united states.
a mki and a mkii are celicas, but a mkiii is a true supra.
third generation of the toyota© supra. released in the us. in 1986.5, untill 1991. this model supra remains the most flexable model to date. with options for a turbo charged inline 6cylinder engine(1987+) it had plenty of power to move the well equiped ch-ssis but heavy ch-ssis. excellent traction from a independent rear end with one of the only all around sala modified mcpherson strut suspension oem on a j-panese vehicel. sale did poorly due to high cost, but it was a revolutionary vehicel for its time, and still remains a very potent condenter in street racing scene.
base line models were naturally aspirated with a hard top, but still boasted a 200hp power engine and all the amenities of a gt such as air coditioning, power steering/windows/seats, heated gl-ss & mirrors, 16″ wheels.
“short arm long arm” “modified mcpherson strut” suspesion was also utilized by porsche and mercedes-benz.

“think of it as a porsche 928 with a $50,000 rebate.”, “excellent ride and handling in a sophisticated and powerfull sports car”, “the best looking sports car to come from j-pan.”, and “comparies well in terms of horsepower.. the best ride comfort in the group” comapred to the corvette, camero, 300z, and porsche 944.

“the supra will impress you as favorably on freeways as it does on two-lane roads.” and “snaky secondary roads can be taken at silky-smooth, highspeed cruise or attacked with full tail-out, junk yard dog abandon.”

“it weights 300 pounds more than a corvette yet it feels smaller and lighter. it establishes a 0.87g lateral acceleration, yet it produces a suppleness of ride the corvette cannot approach.”
the mk3 paved the foundation for the mkiv, one of the best generations of the supra, despite the hg problems. the mk3 came out in 1986.5 and in 87 a turbo model came out. on 1989 and prior it had 230hp and 246lb/ft and a redline of 6500(6m) 89 and later had 232hp and 254lb/ft redline of 6250 due do a differant design of crankshaft(7m). it came with either 7mge/gte in north america, and in j-pan and around there came with the 1g-gte(2.0 twin turbo) 7mgte(3.0 turbo-a) 2.5 twin turbo. the redline is the lowest on the 7mgte because it has a long stroke
my 1992 toyota supra turbo with a sp63gt, lexus 550cc afm, aem ems, fmic, 2jz intake manifold, bic ddp(custom made), hks super drager, hi flow cat, je .40 over pistons, arp bolts, cunningham rods, clevite 77 bearings, knifed edges on crank, hks stopper type mhg 2.0mm,
the dumb people above me didnt know what they are talking about,it might have been built like a tank but it came with a powerful engine and parts that, back then, only came on $100,000+ cars and race cars. parts like the lsd (limited slip diffriential), the tems system (toyota electronicly monitoured suspension), and the array of “go fast” b-ttons in the c-ckpit prove this car to be ahead of its time. i bought a 1989 supra and did alot of engine work only because the dumb-ss before me ran it without oil for a while. now she runs great and i couldnt be happier.
the 87-92 supra was ranked 47th out of the top 100 sport compact cars by sport compact car magizene,this is what was said “built like a tank, big as a ship,and one of the quickest cars of its time.”october 2004 volume 16 no.10. you cant fight with scc!
mkiii supra after the mkii but before the mkiv. came with the 7m-ge/gte motor.
the morons above me that blow headgasket can’t keep the f-cking maintanance up. those are the same idiots that say……i ran low on oil and now i have a strange knocking sound.. well no f-cking sh-t you dipsh-ts.
