Alright folks. I just purchased my 88 supra Turbo with 200 k miles on it. It has a HKS intake and hard piping for turbo to intercooler. The miles are what is killing me I assume... but it runs and it still boosts and pulls. I just want to know what my stock specs are and also... what are some common engine problems as it gets odler. Thanks
Bray

Moderators, can we please make a sticky in the MKIII section that says: SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST!

Hi MKIIIBray and welcome to the forums. I recomend reading through the FAQ threads and getting to know your search button, they both are very valuable allies. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=194124 Here's a link regarding factory specs. As far as common engine problems, at 200k I would say just about any failure you can imagine will be quite common, but I would pay special attention to your oil level/condition and the condition of your cooling system as rod knock and blown head gaskets are common ailments for any age Supra.
