Guest suprasutty Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Anyone had any dealings with this company which is advertising on E**y item number 180462118707 I am thinking about putting this unit into my NA Auto, is it a good deal or am I better going TT. Don`t want to sell my Supra as I only paid £2500 for it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Have a search around the forum, you'll find the general consenus is buy a tt. However have you looked into a TT transplant? Can be had for around 2500 and alot more reliable than the NA-T option. If your set on keeping the car, i'd think about a TT conversion instead. Even if you go the NA-T route you'll probably get used to it and crave more power. the TT engine is a better base for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 TBH I wouldn't touch this engine with a barge pole. IMO you are best off looking for a low mile TT engine to transplant into your NA and work up from there. You are only getting 3 months parts only warranty on this engine, milage is unknown and at the end of the day it's an NA engine so further increase on the BHP is VERY limited.

Guest suprasutty Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Same thoughts then as I had just wanted another opinion, does anyone know of anyone in the NE who would do a TT transplant anlong with the TT diff. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Agreed i wouldnt touch that particular engine, just leave it. at the end of the day it's an NA engine so further increase on the BHP is VERY limited. Thats just a load of bollocks In NA form it is limited but in turbo form its just as capable as a TT block to make power if your know what your doing.

So you could get say 600bhp out of a turbocharged NA engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 You can expect the guts of 500hp out a properly set up na/t with decent turbo i would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So you could get say 600bhp out of a turbocharged NA engine? With enough money yeah. You'd have up change the geerbox/dif aswell with that kind of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 With enough money yeah. You'd have up change the geerbox/dif aswell with that kind of power. So as I thought, not cost affective and better to get a TT lump in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 So you could get say 600bhp out of a turbocharged NA engine? There's NA-T's running more power than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) There's NA-T's running more power than that. Sorry my mistake. I always thought that NA engines in standard form with a turbo dropped on weren't up to making big power without spending silly amounts of money, so not cost affective. As I said earlier my mistake.

Kirk Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Its been done already in the states.... But just to assist you in your search heres a few Going for big power on a NA would cost you NO less or MORE than going single on a TT Edited February 14, 2010 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
