Its really easy if you know what you are doing. I've done the swap to my 85 SC a few months back. The pic in my sig has the Z nose on it,but I had the ground effects off at the time.One thing you will have to do is drill holes into your car so they can bolt on.

IF you want the whole thing to look right you will need to put a 85 and up Z28,IROC,88 SC,or 89 and up RS nose on the car and a rear bumper from any of those cars. If you leave your 85 SC nose on the car the front of the car wont seem right, the gfx's will be lower than the 85 sc nose. The rear bumper will not meet the rear quarter panel gfx's right. The nose and rear bumpers are a direct bolt in for your car.

Before the downpipe and exhaust, I ran a 13.22 @ 107mph in the Supra.
Should be mid to low 12's with the exhaust and downpipe and fuel controller. Got 53 RWHP just by tuning the fuel curves on the car, it was running so rich.
303RWHP with downpipe and exhaust.
356RWHP after adding the Apex-i SuperAFC and leaning out the mixture. We were running 16-18psi of boost.
