Lot M 0001: 1995 Toyota Supra

Common problems split into two buckets on a ‘95 Supra turbo:

1. Factory twin-turbo cars (2JZ-GTE) – the usual suspects:

• Leaky turbo oil lines and old vacuum hoses for the sequential system (boost drops or small fires).
• Harmonic balancer rubber separates (oil-pump damage risk).
• Weak automatics if you add power; cooling system runs hot on track days.

1. Big-power single-turbo conversions (like this 925 WHP GE-block car) add:

• GE pistons/ring lands can fail north of 800 WHP; head-gasket lift is real.
• Needs a spot-on ProEFI tune—knock or lean spike will lunch the motor.
• Stock-style twin-disc clutches won’t live; budget for a serious multi-disc and fresh V160 synchros.
• Turbo heat soaks everything; oil cooler, good drain-back and heat-shielding are mandatory.
• Fuel filters and pumps become wear items—clogged pickup = instant piston meltdown.

Bottom line: a stock twin-turbo ‘95 Supra is pretty sturdy if you service the sequential bits, but once you go big single on a GE block you’re in ‘check the tune every pull’ territory. Buy only with full build receipts and a fresh dyno sheet.
