New to the world of tuning and modding. Did some research and spoke to a few guys with some decked out supras. I’m not hard set on any specific brand but some that I saw myself definitely stuck out to me in a good way.

If you don’t mind taking a moment to give some feedback on this list, please share anything you think would be valuable to me.

I appreciate it and I’m sure others will too, thanks.

EDIT:
Just talked to a guy for some feedback on this and he mentioned:

1) to consider choosing whether this is going to be a track, drift, or street daily style build since it will drastically change the build. I think I’m gravitating towards street daily, so any feedback in context with that is great.

2) do breaks, suspension, & stiffen the chassis. & then go for the cold air and turbo, etc.

3) he also mentioned to run the correct rims with backspacing instead of spacers to prevent snapping the hun or axels

4) he said to consider upgrading the rear differential, axels, and a carbon fiber drive shaft.

Just those bits of feedback alone really help me understand the bigger picture and gives me a sense of direction.

EDIT 2:
I’m genuinely glad this gave some of you guys a good laugh. I’m laughing at it now myself. After getting further into it the mod list is much more simplified and I don’t feel like running a methanol kit at all unless that changes for me.

As of now I really just want to get:
-wheels/tires
-hks springs or kw coils
-a few bolt ons with a tune

& I’m happy with that. 500hp is cool for me, maybe I’ll want more later but this alone is going to cost a nice dollar with the aesthetic added.

Thanks for the feedback.

Order should be : downpipe, unlock, tune, tires, then suspension upgrades imo. Catback + intake are just not needed. That's enough for 500whp on E50.

This list is insanely over-complicated. What do you want to achieve? I imagine about 3/4 of it can be deleted from the list.

With that much money, why not just get a GT4 RS? o_O

Not good enough. You need to spend another 100k to see real performance

I want to 1) build it over the next few years in probably 5 stages of performance and aesthetic mods. 2) have a badass daily street based performance car 3) learn

If you were to try and reach 750hp what would your route be?

If you were to try and reach 750hp what would your route be?
Intake manifold + port injection + injectors ~$3.5K
Transmission build ~$7K
Turbo upgrade ~$3.5K
Low pressure pump upgrade ~$1K
Femto unlock + MHD license ~$3K (idk current pricing, but probably close)
Motiv Reflex controller + wiring harness ~$2.5K
Downpipe + exhaust, idk ~$4k max

There's your easy 750WHP starter pack. Everything else on your list can be deleted because, and I cannot stress this enough, they are not necessary.

Thanks for the insight, with all the added power, I’m assuming it makes sense to upgrade the suspension, breaks, and tires to handle the uptake of power?

Suspension: no need. Stock is fine.
Brakes: no need. Stock is fine.

Wheels/tires: goes without saying. No stock setup is going to hold 750 on the street.
