Pretty much what everyone else said. Are you now buying a non turbo supra? They have a different engine than a turbo supra and will not respond to mods well...

Plus you would have to fab all kinds of plumbing to make a turbo work. I have a feeling the turbo is the cheapest part. And that tubo you liked to is a wet flot bearing type, so it will not last as long as a ball bearing supported turbo. Plus you really want to find one with a 360 deg bearing, not the 270 deg type.

I run up to 45 lbs of boost - but my engine alone weighs more than that little ricer.

My tip would be to get yourself onto a supra forum, sit back and read for a while. Figure out what guys are doing that works, and what doesnt.

Or you could just post..."what batteries do I need to make my Traxxas Supra faster..."


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
