The 12 Easiest Cars To Mod, Ranked

Historically, Toyota has never been known for being a purveyor of fast cars. However, when Toyota commits to creating something, it is usually executed with precision. Such is the case with its Supra sports car. Originally a trim level of Celica, it later became a stand-alone model and developed into the Mark IV Supra, made famous in the “Fast and Furious” movie series. Since then, it has been elevated in status on par with Italian supercars and its value has grown to absurd levels. The main reason for its desirability is the incredible stout cast-iron block 2JZ inline-six engine that, according to MotorTrend, is capable of handling up to 2,000 horsepower.

The value of the Supra means may be moderately easy, but it won’t be cheap. While the stock 300 horsepower engine can be made to produce much more, The Motorhood says the sequential turbos and fuel delivery systems are the first limiting factors that need to be addressed. Since the stock ECU is not made to easily accept upgraded tuning, a “piggyback” ECU can be installed inline to modify performance variables. With the new ECU, the twin-turbo setup can be changed in favor of a single turbo with more flexibility, such as a Garrett GT3582R. The next possible mods include high-flow injectors, upgraded air intake and manifold, and cat-back exhaust. If done properly, your 2JZ could see as much as 700 horsepower without ever cracking open the engine.
