toyotasupra1980 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hiya all it Joseph from llanishen cardiff, have had a long hard think, and have come to the decision in selling my n/a MK4 supra and getting the Twin Turbo Manuel Supra MK4,have spent enough on my n/a and it goes well for a non turbo, but allot of my mates and my mates at hyeline performance believe that its time i should drive a turbo especially if i want to hit the 400-500bhp mark which is what i want, will be starting to save money by the end of this month, and maybe will be driving a red manuel twin turbo supra after the summer, the bodykit, and gauges and auto timer i was going to put on the n/a i will be saving to put on the TT, will also add the peromance bars and airfilter if the TT Supra i get is standard, will swap the bonnet and the wheels too, because i like the look and the kit would be awsome all together, apart from this i will be leaving the car the way it is. http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/phot...48177_5769.jpg http://photos-e.ak.facebook.com/phot...48180_7035.jpg http://photos-f.ak.facebook.com/phot...48181_1181.jpg http://photos-486.ll.facebook.com/ph...49932_5867.jpg http://photos-486.ll.facebook.com/ph...49933_6286.jpg http://photos-486.ll.facebook.com/ph...49934_6672.jpg http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/phot...48178_6159.jpg Engine and styling mods list for you lot interested: engine 3ltr straight 6 n/a auto and my estimation in the 230-240bhp range.

Franko Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 sounds like a good piece of kit, but if you already have a 6 speed why not opt for a N/A-TT conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 6Speed?? NA-TT is a good option if you love the car you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasupra1980 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 sounds like a good piece of kit, but if you already have a 6 speed why not opt for a N/A-TT conversion? the car is an automatic straight 6 engine, not 6 speed, would live to keep the car but doing a turbo conversion is mega bucks.

toyotasupra1980 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yer it can be mate 3k+ if i was to keep the car, and pay £3k for the turbo conversion what power increase am i looking at? and would it be good enough even if the car was an auto? just asking because if it is worth keeping mine and doing the converions then i might change my mind.

dibbleyuk Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Depends what you go for mate if you was to go NA-TT then BPU with FMIC, boost controller etc which can cost around 4k you looking at over 400bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 You could go all out and get a 6spd conversion along with a bpu turbo conversion for around 7k. Just an idea if you like the car you have. Will also mean you know the history and you know the condition of the engine and gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the most cost effective way of getting and NA supra to 400bhp, by putting a TT engine in it. Its not as hard as you would think there is proberly a few guys that know more about turboing the NA engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i can have my mate at Hyeline Performance do it, but they ain't going to do it free. wasn't impressed when i looked at using them and have heard some scary stories since. Maybe things have improved now since moving premises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something like the PowerHouse Racing bolt on turbo kit for the NA supra, as supplied by Whifbitz, then? http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/supra-turbo.html (£3.1k, plus labour I'm guessing) I'm sure Paul can provide ample options for increasing power, if asked ... EDIT: Some more details on the kit at http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateH.asp?SubFolderID=802&SearchYN=N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem - I've been wondering if I should add a turbo to my na at some point, myself.
