The major difference is the drivetrain, brakes, and engine. The exterior and interior are pretty much identical with the exception of a few small things. Im pretty sure the chassis is identical so everything on a turbo should change over to a NA. ---

thanks for the info guys > [@newman](#): > > I hope you’re planning on putting an LS1 in an NA one. to be honest, if/when i went down this route, i’d probably keep the 2JZ. I would be keeping my camaro, and this car would be the clean/quick but not crazy cruiser. i would do tasteful modding… a single turbo setup, but nothing extreme. although an LS1 would be cool too; but i kind of want to try something different ---

I meant different for me. I always figured I would do a vette next, but I want to play with a different platform, and for obvious reasons I’ve always had a boner for the looks of a mkiv. I want to get into a house first, but I’m graduating this week, so I’ll finally be able to stretch my legs in my career. I’m gonna bust ass so I can buy me some nice things ---

> [@turbo ls1 ss](#): > > but i kind of want to try something different If you want to do different for you, try something else. For the price they’re nowhere near worth it. Look at a different platform. Try something mid rear … or even , dare I say, FWD. FYI a bigger difference to look at with these cars would be the differences between the years. ---

There is no DOUBT that the curb appeal of an NSX is superior to a Supra, I mean come on… Not to take anything at all away from the Supra, it’s beautiful, and I love it too, but it does not have the supercar looks that an NSX has. Thread starter, good luck with your search, I appreciate your approach to your cars/choices. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mkiv-supra-turbo-vs-non-turbo/76974.md?page=2)
