marc_p Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Niether until you get to 5th gear, then the 6 speed would be quicker as I believe the ratio's of 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think the 5 speed should have it if both power figures are identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 hmmm maybe the question you should be asking is; whats slower? a tt6 converted to an n/a or tt6 speed converted to n/a and 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Surely the extra gears gives it that little bit more after the 5 speed had redlined and the internals exploded all over the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Surely the extra gears gives it that little bit more after the 5 speed had redlined and the internals exploded all over the road. But the 5 speed has less work to do (in a manner of speaking) to get to a higher speed. Unless you're talking top speed, which doesn't mean the car is "faster" in all situations, I'd say the 5 speed would have it due to the ratios.

Homer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It would all depend if you changed the diff If not, the 6spd will be the quicker of the two in acceleration from the line and top end. The 5spd and 6spd gear ratio's are not the same at all, they are completely different boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 But you would, wouldn't you?! Me? No, not yet, but it's on the list. The NA open diff is pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Me? No, not yet, but it's on the list. The NA open diff is pants. That would be on my basic na/t swap... as you rightly say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyAndy Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 oo dear.. i think Ive started some think here lol i would have sed the Supra TT 6 speed over all but now some of you guys are saying n/a conversion lol..

Dazzi Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Every manual TT is a 6 speed. You can only get 5 speed in NA's and those that went NA-TT of course. 5 speed Ratios (W58): * First Gear: 3.285:1 * Second Gear: 1.894:1 * Third Gear: 1.275:1 * Fourth Gear: 1.00:1 * Fifth Gear: 0.783:1 6 Speed Ratios (V160) * First gear: 3.830:1 * Second gear: 2.360:1 * Third gear: 1.680:1 * Fourth gear: 1.310:1 * Fifth gear: 1:1 * Sixth gear: 0.790:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
