tooquicktostop Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 only after 500 mate for now, would you recommend a decent turbo from exspirience? I was always chasing big BHP not smaller turbos, however a T61 is a good reliable option, I am sure there are some new billet turbo's around now however that will be even faster spooling Paul Whiffin has mentioned a very fast spooling single that he can supply as a kit,I would talk to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Its not so much the bhp that will kill your box mate its the torque To be fair a 500bhp (ish) single turbo with an autobox would be a cracking street car. And very useable. Its waaaay to easy to chase numbers without evening knowing about them, i was guilty of that throughout my build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah but do u just like them cos theyre big??? A T61 would be a brutal fast street car in an auto Would be well worth your while getting a few rides in different single turbo'd supras to feel the difference dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A T61 would be a brutal fast street car in an auto Would be well worth your while getting a few rides in different single turbo'd supras to feel the difference dude i would agree with that but i could jump in lui's, then yours and if brave enough jamie's and i would not think of anything else than a 1000bhp build ha ha, its strange how i work... i have drove a bpu tt a few times which was auto and loved every min in it, so i would like my first single to be compared to a tt bpu if that makes sense? and not compare it to say yours jamesy, which imo is my ideal car/build Edited February 21, 2011 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If u enjoyed an auto bpu then you're going to cream yourself with a tidy single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
