    NA-T vs TT

    I'm happy to take you out in my NA-T so that you can see that they don't break just by looking at them - despite what people think!! and the power delivery is awesome.
  2. ODB1 is a circular port, OBD2 is more rectangular.
  3. Will give you a shout tomorrow Paul. Thanks
  4. Having driven this car now, I can honestly say it is every bit as good as I always imagined it to be. It drives so smoothly, handles excellently and the work Paul has carried out under the bonnet has been done to a great standard. You need to actually KEEP this one Rich!
  5. Bell housing, shifter extension cradle, speed sensor (I believe)
  6. Cheers chaps! I shall be turning my attention to the interior next and maybe some engine bay bling:)
  7. That's not necessarily true either dude. There are plenty of examples of NA-T's running 450bhp+, Rob_SRI, Rich.2211 and my own as three examples. Completely agree on the cost front though mate. I could have brought numerous TT lumps for what my conversion has cost me, but the power delivery and whole experience of NA-T is something special. Because compression is generally higher than a stock TT, you don't need a lot of boost to make good power, which is available early on in the rev range. If you look into the NA-T stuff in the states where it is more popular still, they're making crazy power. In fact, TkDav3's car is 600hp+ and is in fact originally an NA-T. Don't forget the bottom end of the GE and GTE are the same, bar oil squirters and Pistons. All the important bits, crank, rods, bearings are identical. Please don't think this is aimed at you as I know from previous conversations it's not Tony, but people have a very negative attitude toward NA-T when in reality, 9/10 the people have never experienced one.
  8. I think that's personal opinion Nic and I tend to disagree there mate. The NA-T conversion has become hugely popular in the last 12 months or so, with more and more people undertaking conversions and kits now available from the likes of Whifbitz. With the cost of Supra's in general rising rapidly, people who want a turbo supra can no longer necessarily afford a TT and so this offers a great alternative. Can I ask why you would never consider one?
  9. Hi all, as above looking for a APR carbon cooling plate. Ironic as I sold a brand new one a year or so ago. What do you have?
  10. I'm currently torn between selling the supra for a Lexus IS-F, a GT86 Aero or keeping the sup and buying a daily.... I do love the GT86 Aero and I'm not sure the type of driving I regularly undertake is doing the supra justice
  11. So I've been using the car daily for the past couple of weeks and it's been absolutely spot on. No trouble at all and a genuine pleasure to jump in and drive. Drives just like stock off boost, then when you hit boost, it becomes a completely different car. I let Rich.2211 drive it to see what he thought...as it happens he's just brought his 5th Supra!
  12. Find out the thread of the stud you are using. If you buy a decent kit, It should come with the drill bit etc that you need

    Brake Pads

    OEM or Chris Wilson pads are the general recommendation. I used Mintex once and they were fine but did generate a lot of dust. Just go OEM mate, not expensive and good quality
  14. This, check the map sensor, faulty earths and obvious things first mate

    chicken

    Hi Joost, welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the bad luck!
  16. E1 and TE1 are the diagnostics ports mate
  17. You must be a paid up member to post a wanted add. Thread edited.
  18. Unfortunately it was already like this when Rob brought the car
  19. Just an update on this, we did it! We are now world record holders, with 403 jumpers - previous record 273. Also, £250k raised for a great cause and in Stephen's honour. What a fantastic experience! I'll be posting up the video shortly - if and when it arrives!
