dan1985 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Well, after my teething problems Dude has come and taken away my supra. After the dramas of getting his trailor into the drive, then a huge oil leak and my mrs even having to sit in the drivers seat (fear of god in me!) we sat down and had a chat about what he can do for me. It was a great feeling when he said 'its a good one' ,my supra. Theres going to be a few changes, Maybe even a nice brand new turbo this week!!! will keep you all updated as the project goes on. one happy chappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Exciting. I don't know Dude personally but I certainly get the impression he knows what he is on about. Should see some good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an xs power manifold and a turbo that is too big... not quite sure whats meant there.. but can see things getting pricey and its going to be a while before i get the supe back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeast_supra Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Think of the power! If your worried about things getting pricey then set a budget and tell dude thats the max you have to spend then you cant go over budget and get into debt.

Jamesy Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Just had a text from dude and i can see things are going to be expensive... I have an xs power manifold and a turbo that is too big... not quite sure whats meant there.. but can see things getting pricey and its going to be a while before i get the supe back Prob due to the XS Power manifolds being straight and not angled which can cause issues when fitting larger turbos mate.

JamieP Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 what should i be looking at guys? Decent turbo kit, something like boostlogic, what ecu do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 what should i be looking at, guys? Dude, you should be looking at girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm in agreement with Jamesy. Dude and Matt both know what will suit your needs. Just to whet the appetite though. Nice all in one kit from Mr Whiffin More options Of course you can research everything around. Probably take a few years though. Have a look through the specs of members cars, JamieP, Lee P, UK Rich, AndrewoW, Chingy, Matt Mufflemans ex car etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Matt can map the F-Con so you are ok there, just a decent turbo kit needed by the sound of it, buy a matching downpipe aswell or have the one you have now fabricated to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan1985 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 is the xs power mani worth changing? or is it ok for now? i know the turbo will probably need changing first as its just not good for the car hard not to get disheartened... was hoping to have her back this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 XS manifold is junk imo, when it cracks later down the line or you have over boost issues due to the bad design you will wish you had changed it when you had the chance, anything xs power kills the cars resale value aswell imo.

dan1985 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 whats a good replacement and what prices should i expect or will this depend on the turbo i choose? am i right in thinking that all i need is, possibly the turbo and manifold, everything else should be ok?

JamieP Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Depends what power you want, best to talk with Dude and see what kits he supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan1985 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 i would but hes so tight up, dont want to keep bothering him lol il just keep my eyes open and ears to the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Tight up? Id imagine you have the wrong end of the stick there, he has your car in to fix so you need to sort a plan of action with him, If you are supplying the kit then look at boostlogic/whifbitz/HKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Search on here mate, theres tons of inffo on manifold/turbo combos and prices. XS power have really cleaned their act up in recent times but its not a patch on a quality manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dan will be calling in a min, it could only be an XS power manifold with the amount of pigeon crap you can see just under the turbo!!!! The turbo looks like a cheap ebay one but is in good nick just appears way to big for a stock auto, the inducer is 72mm although the A/R is 68, I still think it will be laggy as f**k. I do have a plan:eyebrows:, speak to you in a min, im just taking my engine out ........again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
