aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 What are people's thoughts on this turbo with all supporting mods running on a BL auto box? I know it's good for pretty big power, but was wondering if it'll be any good running on a BL autobox and what a car running this set up (obviously with all the supporting mods) is worth? Cheers for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 You probably know it's a fairly laggy tubz! I picked Up a t88 yesterday, however it is Going on a 6 speed so will be quite different, would have thought a mid size modern turbo kinda t67 or gt35r size, what is your goals???

Bailey. Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) What is the car mainly used for too? Edited October 24, 2010 by Bailey. (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Car will pretty much just be street use.... To be honest I have seen a car for sale with this set up and was wondering what it would be like before I got it and also why it is quite cheap - around £12-£13k) Yea I realised it was pretty laggy - about 4000rpm before it kicks in right? How is the BL autobox? Would a manual set up be better with this turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 i know jamesy really rates his bl box, but he is on a much quicker spooling turbo, would have thought for a little more you couldget a 6 speed, such as gaz's on here in the for sale section.

Luxluc Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Can you post up the spec list. Engine, fueling, ECU etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1967132.htm That's the listing matey, thought it might have been someone from here but couldn't find anything with the search function Bailey - for £12-£13k there isn't much around at pretty big power - if i'm buying a single tubby I'm looking at 600 plus really and on here they are going around £20 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Oh and I have emailed the guy asking for more info so am awaiting that at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 definetly need for info,in my eyes i think gaz's is a lovely bit of kit, just look at the spec... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=227691 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 It is lovely that! I've looked at it quite a few times now And the BW turbo's so seem pretty nice too Only thing for me is that i'm not keen on a black supe (I know i can get a respray but don't get me started on bodyshops) and I would ideally like it to be minimum 600bhp If not I would go for a completely different car like a TVR Tuscan or Cerbera, IF i was to sell my TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magictorch Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Did find out who the supra specialist that built the car is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am under no illusion about the power mate, mine is BPU and I know that is a lot of power, so 550 is huge power but I am just looking at the magic 600 at the moment... As for the "supra specialist" I am still awaiting an email back from the seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Did find out who the supra specialist that built the car is? Those look like additional injectors in the IC pipe?? If they are, plus the choice of turbo, I'd guess it was put originally together in Japan some time ago. Spec seems good, for a car like this I would definitely get it to a Supra specialist and given a thorough inspection before parting with any money.
