JnrEast21 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi fellas, i am currently looking at getting a supra, and was wandering if (and how hard etc) is it to put a Twin Turbo engine and manual box into a manual n/a supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 pretty easy , chassis is the same , just quet expensive. if your currenty looking for a supra youd be better off just buying a tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Do a search for NA-T = not that uncommon of a transformation. Does come at a hefty price - one could argue that it is best to sell the NA and just get a TT to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 buy a TT. much cheaper way around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnrEast21 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 is it really that mega expensive to do the swap? because the tt supras seem to cost about 4-5 grand more then a n/a? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It costs roughly aorund £1700for the tt conversion kit, and around £600 to fit, also take into account the price of a performance clutch to handle the power! And maybe further mods like uprated suspension and brakes , possible tyres to handle the extra power! I see your in cambridgeshire, whereabouts you from?

pezzler Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 At the minute, its possible to get hold of a tidy TT for £5k; as mentioned, you would probably be better off buyting a TT. As well as the cost implications of converting an N/A to TT: You'd have to consider the labour costs (if you're paying someone to do it for you), the quality of the work carried out, the administration work - ie informing the DVLA, your insurance company etc. Then there the quality of the transplant engine; not knowing how many miles it has covered, or whether it runs as it should until it has been fitted. If you're going to be keeping the car as a manual, you will need a decent clutch to tranfer the power to the N/A 5-speed gearbox - but staying with the 5-speed will limit you to what performance modifications you can do as it is not as robust as the 6-speed or TT auto. If you did want to upgrade the gearbox, you'll have to budget for either a quite expensive (about £2.5k) 6-speed manual, or the cheaper auto box. You'd be better off finacially if you bought a TT, plus you wouldnt have any of the hassle that goes with the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Suprafly Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 TT's are plentiful on PH and Autotrader! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
