Ricky49 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I'm starting to get parts together for the next stage of my single turbo conversion. There's a couple of reasons for this. 1, With the game been pushed on by the big players Im getting the feeling of been left behind:(. 2, Also with running 750+ hp on a stock block I'm not wanting to lose it or in the trade it's called the Jamesy effect:innocent:. 3, Plain and simple I want more power. The Parts Head with 1mm oversize Ferrea/Supertech valves, springs, bells and whistles. With a SRD inspection, port and polish - got SRD 280 stage3 cams - got Shimless buckets One of my spare TT blocks fully built by Lee P PT 76mm 7675 - got Hypertune manifold - got Cosworth 87mm piston Carillo H beam Rods with carr rod bolts ARP stock size head bolts - got ARP main bolts - got ACL bearings or similar - got Full inspection of the block and crank TRD engine mounts - got TTC and UR pulleys - got HKS cam pulleys SRD twin electric fan kit - got Clutch - some sort of carbon jobbie Titan Billet Main - got I may look into modding a 4'' dp and mp to fit the HKS manifold of the back of the turbo so I have 4'' straight through. The parts will be purchased over the summer and hopefully get into lee over the winter period, I better pre book my place.

DaveR Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Sounds awesome, Ricky. Good luck with it all, including paying off the credit cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice spec, I would go BC pro rods, cheaper and just as good, I got them in both my engines, Lee supplies for about £500 iirc, 4" system is a must on that turbo IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Lee has offered me a good price on the carrillo's but they are nearly double the BC's still. Yeah Lee mentioned that about the 4'', I'm thinking of getting his man to fab one using the 3'' as a template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The BC pro rods are £550 + vat, they are very good and to this date have not had an issue with them. I would still consider the carrillo rods an upgrade, the Carr bolts are the best you can get. As Jamie says though the they are expensive but in the ultimate setup the cosworth pistons and carrillo rods are a great combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Sounds good Ricky, I went with the Carillo H beam rods and Carillo bolts, peace of mind and all that....good luck, gonna be a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 You should stroker yours Johnny G I'll be stroking it daily when I get it back mate I'm off to Florida in 4 weeks, so I'll be popping to Titan to see what they can do for me - and I'll look at all options. I had a 3.4 ltr in the MR2 and I would love to have a 3.4 in the Supra - but whilst I'm saving for my holiday home, I don't want to spunk huge cash on a hobby.
