Toyota Supra

The fourth-generation Supra, built from April 1993 to July 2002 and now the most counterfeited car of its era. An honest owner's reference to the 2JZ-GE and the sequential twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE, covering the market-by-market power ratings and why they differ, the exact service data with the source conflicts printed rather than smoothed over, the ceramic turbine wheels that destroy Japanese-spec engines, the VIN checks that separate a factory twin-turbo from an NA-T clone, and the parts and community network that still supports these cars.

Known issues, covered honestly

  • Ceramic turbine wheels on Japanese-spec turbos, brittle above roughly 13 to 17 psi, and how to establish the wheel material before assuming you have boost headroom
  • The sequential twin-turbo plumbing: boost creep from aged actuators and vacuum lines, stuck transition solenoids, and the 4,000 rpm handoff that should be seamless
  • Rust and water intrusion, plus the targa panel seal that leaks and rattles once the car is decades old
  • Authenticity as the largest financial risk: VIN turbo-versus-NA verification, NA-T cars sold as factory twin-turbos, and salvage or VIN-swap history

…and the full survey guide, service schedules, systems, and parts sourcing in the complete volume.

We fold in your year, your engine, your electronics and refits, your hull number, and your vessel name and your own boat's photo on the cover. The book stops describing the boat that left the factory and starts describing the one in your slip.
