LOGIE Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Howdy could anyone who has been down the NA-TT route give me any info on getting it done, ie where did you get it done? cost of it? Ive pm'd and e-mailed keron at the end of last week but aint heard anything yet. I also got in touch with silverstone garage but the guy sounded very dissinterested especially when I told him I didnt have the parts myself i was hoping he could source the engine etc. Many thanks in advance Logie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Would you convert the transmission? What is currently in it and what would you convert to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 you can build your own kit without the price tag as long as you get quality parts. theres an NA-T boostlogic manifold for sale in the sale section right this moment. NA auto box won't hold more than the stock GTE engine's 280bhp so you wont be able to modify the engine much. manual NA is good for 350-400 (some reckon 450 depending where you read). NA-TT is about 3k. That includes uprated clutch. 95mkiv is doing one in a few months, thats what he got quoted. your intended power is the important, as you may need a different gearbox if you wish to go higher. what are you aims?

Rob_Mitchell Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 i dont think he wants to go na-t, i think he wants a tt conversion done? keron has done loads of these, he would be the man who can help.... give him a ring mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I was intending on just going NA-TT at first with TT autobox then depending on how much that cost (with new timing belt, waterpump,oil pump if needed), if any cash left over id maybe get BPU altough not in a hurry for that. Im aiming for a reliable 400bhp after bpu. How much would it cost me just to get the engine and autobox transplant done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistermann Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Sell the NA and buy a TT auto...can't be that much difference in price in this current market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Sell the NA and buy a TT auto...can't be that much difference in price in this current market Yeah I thought of that but im worried if i never had a supra between selling mine and buying the next id learn to do without... that i dont want.

Dnk Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah I thought of that but im worried if i never had a supra between selling mine and buying the next id learn to do without... that i dont want. Just get someone local to take you out in a 400 ish tt, that'll get your love back very quickly. Sell the NA and buy a TT is my advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'd sell the NA and buy a TT if it were me. That way you'll stand a better chance of getting your money back should you ever sell. If you convert an NA to a TT, it won't make it worth the same amount as a genuine TT and would ultimately make the conversion dearer than a swap! If however you would rather convert your NA, it does sound like Keron is the man but I'd try and call him if I were you as he's terrible at returning PMs from my experience!! Perhaps he's too busy doing NA-TT conversions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 if you want to stay auto your limit is around 300bhp. to back this up a statement from other NA-T owners: http://forum.clubna-t.com/showthread.php?t=10785 a new tranny and engine conversion will cost more than its worth. the price of auto TT doesn't justify it mate, might as well sell up. maybe you would find someone who would do a PX if they are looking for something cheaper to run.

Dnk Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 plus the auto tt box can cope with 400 ish hp all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I thought the N/A auto was the same as the TT Auto transmission, which surely would mean that it's capable of handling single turbo power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 nope, this isnt the case im afraid. the auto NA is a weaker box than the manual NA, the auto TT is stronger than the w58 but not as strong as the 6spd. they all have different diff's as well. the Auto TT diff is definilety different to the Manual TT, not 100% is the NA auto vs w58 diff is the same. not that this is even important as you wouldnt want to swap them anyway.

I'm only talking about the auto transmission. Take the manual out of the equation here. The N/A and TT auto transmission, I thought were the same.

Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 sorry mate i thought what i said made sense... ::Weakest:: - NA Auto - NA Manual - TT Auto - TT Manual ::Strongest:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 i thought what i said made sense... ::Weakest:: - NA Auto - NA Manual - TT Auto - TT Manual ::Strongest:: i think what attero wa trying to say was the auto boxs are the same so how can they be both stronger and weaker than the W58.

Noz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 as far as i understood it they are different, i didnt think he understood i was saying they arent the same. people reliably run BPU TT's all day long with auto's, yet anything over 350 on an NA auto its risky business, so they must be different as the reliability statements of these boxes are oppisite.

Attero Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 sorry mate i thought what i said made sense... ::Weakest:: - NA Auto - NA Manual - TT Auto - TT Manual ::Strongest:: I looked it up. Both the N/A and TT use the A340E 4spd auto tranmission. There are only 3 transmission types with the MKIV (4 if you decide to split the V160/1).
