Guest jimmy4lfc Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi, i recently bought myself my first mkiv Supra!!! its a na Supra and since buying it, my mates have been asking me, "why didn't you buy the twin turbo?". very frustrating for me as i've adored supras since the first time i played Gran Turismo on the old PSX. Ther information i'm after is - Is the tt engine the same as the na engine, just with a pair of turbos? Are all the internals the same? could i bolt on a stock tt exhaust manifold with the stock turbos, intercooler, mapping settings etc and get away with it? if anyone could clear these few things up for me, i'd be grateful! cheers guys, regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi mate, welcome to the club Its not that simple, you'd have to get an engine conversion done. Tell your mates to talk a walk, you own a supra, they dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 There different engines mate, you can buy turbo conversion kits for the na but for around the same sort of money you can put a TT engine in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Many people say "why didnt you just buy the twin turbo" The answer is, "why dont you have a supra at all?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBEXsupra Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ive got an NA. i get people at work saying why dont you have a twin turbo? wouldnt worry about it too much. i plan on uprating the brakes and everything else. including gearbox.RPS clutch then going for a tt upgrade. all in good time though. my car is still a lot faster then their saxo's and corsa's which frequently break! and you can get you own back. dont give em a lift to work!

stevie_b Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have an NA supra. "why don't you have a twin turbo?" me: "Because I didn't particularly want one when I bought it. I bought a supra mainly for its looks. I'd like the extra power that the TT would give me, but I can't justify changing cars and I'm very happy with what the NA gives me. Now run along, haven't you got homework to do before school starts again next week?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The XS power kit is utter garbadge if you are after anything more than a TT power levels (even that is pushing the NA-T kit they supply). Most of the fixtures and fittings are hopelessly useless, quite a few items dangerously so after they've had a few thousand miles use. Be very, very careful in your choice and makes sure you know what you're doing before attempting it. 'Clueless' I do not believe you have run the car for any real mileage or have just the XS power fitted alone. You must have made other changes to the very well demonstrated hopeless fittings. Has it been put through a decent dyno operator yet? (que SRR meet in May ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
