mitsi_matt Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 right i have a manual soarer tt, after smashing it a little at norfolk arena drift days & purchasing a mk4 supra tt for a dailydriver (which i love) have decided i would like another one for a pro drift car build, planning on buying a n/a auto for mucho cheapness & plonking the soarer 1j engine box etc in. question 1: will everything bolt straight up? 2: would i need to use the n/a supra prop, soarer prop, get a supra tt prop? 3: do supra n/a come with torshen diff if not does the soarer one fit? 4: would i need anything else for the swap? want to get a budget together dont want to be left with another project car i cant use due to overlooking a essential item i cant afford.

dr_jekyll Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 i not sure exactly but a few people have done it , i dont think its to difficult. tha engine should sit straight on tghe mounts as should the gearbox. i think youl need a supra diff with a soarer front half of the prop and a supra rear half. but dont quote me on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsi_matt Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 do all supra's come equipped with an lsd or are n/a's open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Some are standard non-LSD, others are Torsen LSD diff. VIN plate will tell you which it is - A or B at the end of the TRANS/AXLE bit I think, B is with LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsi_matt Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 cool, cheers that may well save some hasstle found the torsen in the soarer fine for drifting! saying that this is going to be a more compitition focused car so will probs end up with a 2way.

shima60 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 you could buy another soarer for much cheaper wheres the soarer love lol. *note* not to get bashed he does already have a supra so i can't be slated for saying a soarer is cheaper.

mitsi_matt Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 i do love my soarer just think that a full comp spec supra would perform better & certanly stand out more there were a few soarers competing in the uk this year not totally sure but have not spotted 1 serious spec supra, shorter wheelbase is more suited to my taste. & the supra seems to generate more traction.

Gaz6002 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 There are a few Supras being built for sliding in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 about bloody time tbh! still cant understand why there is not more already. will have to checkout the project section for some insparation. Mainly due to cost, the Supra is an expensive toy when it comes to motorsport. Also, she's a big heavy girl and can be a little bit violent when shifting the weight about.

mitsi_matt Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 the weight thing can be an advantage with drifting, i found my old s13 extreamly snappy when i put it on a weight reduction plan. the soarer i have has full interior ac the lot & its better than any leightweight car i have drifted even on a small track such as pod or norfolk arena! the cost thing i do understand after buying my road car but most serious drift drivers are more than compitant spinning spanners so: soarer auto for the engine ecu etc + supra na + 7m turbo r154 + jz bellhousing is far from expensive in comp car terms.
