Alex Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The SSAutochrome manifolds were the subject of a recent debate on here and a copious amounts of flamage.

GeordieSteve Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I thought the kit was quite good to be honest. The intercooler was bloody great. Speak to Paul Evans... he bought the kit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sorry mate it was the kit for the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sorry mate it was the kit for the Supra Its being subjected to Pauls famous 'Urine' test as we speak , he leaves it amongst his leaking 'bags' for a year or so to see if anything disolves , if not it passes !!!!

Dragonball Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The manifolds I found to be quite well made - the tig welding neat and tidy - and confirmed by local welding company - internally it could have done with taking out a couple of the sharp points - but that was being picky Generally it was far better constructive than a recent 'well known' USA manufacturer who charges 4 times more I cannot comment on other car makes - some inc the more complicated S14 I think were not great At the price great VFM - all bags still intact!!

adi2009 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 just got an intercooler from SSAutochrome and its quite nice!!! but was thinking of buying a turbo from them, has anyone tried out their turbos??? cheers adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yes - the 'larger' one they do is NOT suitable for the soop (I believe it comes off a bloody great big Saab truck i think I read somewhere) The smaller hybrid TO4 they do should be capable for up to approx 500/550HP according to the turbo company in Oxfordshire we took it to So if you do want to order from them - speak to them first - or I have been in contct before and could do it for you (i seem to have got a better response than Geordie Steve - but then you cant guarantee the ebay prices!)

adi2009 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hi, well got a link for one of the Turbo's, do you think this is suitable for the 2JZGTE http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7955242923&rd=1 cheers adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 IMHO No - that is the huuuge turbo by the looks of it - and your tranny will probably give out before you can even get near spooling You need to contact them and get a list of the ones they can do for you m8... Unfortunately I cant give you info on each and every one...as I just dont know what they all do...ask them for compressor maps of the turbos they are selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 well... tried contacting SSAutochrome to get the compressor maps for the turbos but havent got any response as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 IMHO No - that is the huuuge turbo by the looks of it - and your tranny will probably give out before you can even get near spooling are you sure thats the huge turbo? the ebay link says superfast spool. anyone else got any opinions on this turbo? i know you get what you pay for but thats only a couple of hundred quid. got to be worth a go if its suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
