I've decided to keep the Supra cuz i forgot about the whole "if you have to save to buy an FD you can't afford one".



Anyways I wanna eventually run some major horsepower. But the engine i have now runs fine and i really have no reason to tear the block apart. So should i just buy a used JDM shortblock and rebuild that with some stronger internals and valvetrain so i can still drive my car and work on my engine at the same time? What are y'alls thoughts.

If you make one post without mentioning your Supra I'll give you a quarter.

that motor internals will hold together at 400hp with the proper ECU and tuning. a good rebuild/freshening will last you a while. you might want the turbo rebuilt. our site sponsor cheapturbo.com can do that

Save a few hundred bucks.



Go to the junkyard and grab a spare block.



Tear it down.



Rebuild it using teh good ****.



Polish EVERYTHING.



Attach a big f'in snail.



Remove current motor after it craps out.



Install bling factor 400 motor you've worked on for the past few months.



Race a RX7.
