wtf...NOT on the 7M!!!

200HP 188TQ on the N/A, 232HP 254TQ on the turbo.

Didnt realise how much less torque the N/A had, but 7M turbos are most definetly TORQUEY!

Yes...dont forget that MkIIIs weigh an average 3750lbs, if he has a targa then its 100lbs more over a hardtop. Not to mention that 200HP = back when it was new.

On a turbo? with stock fuel, 10-12psi is pushing it, stock IC, and the turbo, but the internals are good to 400-450HP or so, depending on condition and wear

edmunds.com...7Ms are undersquare. It'd be straight up homosexual if they didnt have more torque than HP

Also, check people's dynos...err...well whenever you can. People get 20-40more torque even

is it a 7mgte or a 7mge? If its a 7mge it probly wouldn't be a good idea to turbo unless you mabye got some new internals and what not. Don't get me wrong, you can do it but your car wouldn't be as reliable. If its a 7mgte, then I'm sure you got about 50000 more miles of no problems even if you upgrade it. Im just saying that cause my NA MK3 has 160xxx miles and still has not had one single problem yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(but i and previous owners have took extremely good care of iit)
if you don't mind me asking, how much is this guy asking for the car

Orion is 100% correct. N/A supras are slow as fuck because of their weight, plus they feel even slower when driving them cause of the squishy ass suspension! Then you add mabye a hundred thou miles to the mix and you only got 190 hp pulling around that much weight. It's like having a dog pulling a horse carriage!(i know, i have one)lol

7M-GTE is turbo; 7M-GE is N/A. I'm willing to be that its N/A. If its in that bad condition, its not worth $2500 regardless I dont think.
