slapping a twin turbo on a naturally aspirated SUPRA

this is probably a stupid question but can you slap on a twin turbo setup onto a 95 NON turbo SUPRA?

No. 2JZ-GE motor on N/A cars. Different head, compression, layout, etc... Better off selling the car and buying a TT. That's the cost-effective way.

Cost effective to upgrade if you want to pretty much convert to a TT, but if you want to make it NA-T, there are several kits, but you are kind of limited to under 500 whp due to the stock W58 limitation. The GE shortblock is just as stout as the TT; same internals with the exception of the oil squirters in the GTE.

It will cost you $$$$$$$ to try and get an NA to the potential the TTs have out of the box. Youd be better off selling the NA and picking up a TT. You wont regret it.

It's easier to swap the stock motor out and drop in a twin turbo one. Many people go this route though.
