bambisdad Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just wondering if there are any suggestions for tuning an n/a without using turbo(s) or is it just a daft idea. Is there any way that I could get a reasonable performance upgrade up to somewhere around 300bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The words "no" and " not worth it" spring immediately to mind;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It is easy to get 300bhp when you know how, All you need is three items which are unicorn tears,snake oil and rocking horse poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim1987 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 not worth the money trust me just go tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 well to start with you sell it and buy a tt, or failing that remove n/a lump(recycle) buy gte lump. simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Search your options. The money to get TT power is the same as the purchase of a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What about if you use an electronic supercharger, turbo whistle and add racing stripes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim1987 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What about if you use an electronic supercharger, turbo whistle and add racing stripes? you could even get two electric superchargers might make 0.000000001 bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Get a nice 5.7 LS1 engine from the states and have a lovely V8 in there which has 350 hp & 365 ft lbs torque from stock without turbo's I know a man that already fits these into RX7's and boy do they go rather well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Hi! to get this a little bit serious here's a nice build that shows what is possible on an NA. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?191770-N-A-BPU-completed&highlight=header I'm doing quite the same right now. my project will be completed in april. The corner stones of my project are: Xerd Header Midpipe with custom fitted 200cell sports cat Tanabe medallion touring HKS DLI for NA (yes that was available especially for na - discontinued) MINES'S VX Rom ECU Injen intake-hardpipe genuine TRD sports air filter C's Short stroke Shifter (Genuine one - discontinued) Tein coilovers Exedy Sports tuff clutch TRD lightweight 4-Pot brakes in front and TT rear setup And the most important - A nice rebuild of the engine and a lot of more stuff that is just being changed because of my insanity Furthermore it will receive a new TRD LSD by next year with complete Diff rebuilt But don't expect it to be cheap. If I had decided to go the TT route it would have cost me the same by now... For example I sent the ECU back to MINE's to get a small change in the set up (new rev limiter) - this costed me 450GBP a month ago. - yes you can call me insane BUT this will be one of the nicest NA-BPUs around (there are only few really BPU'd NA's in my opinion...) Regards, Herbert PS: If somebody is more interested in this I could also post some pics when finished...

Supra Gaz Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Pictures Herb, sounds cool. For the op, as has been said, its quite expenisve, fit a 1uz v8 if you want more NA power or for turbo-ness fun fit a 1jz if a 2jzgte stretches your budget.

I have been scrolling ebay and piston heads looking for one already done for months now. One came up for sale on here over a year ago and I passed, wish I'd have bitten his arm off now.

Dnk Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Afraid i've no idea but think he only buys what he needs, i will try to find out if i can but i don't have his number so will have pop round to his workshop when i get time, bare with me. Are you looking for just an engine or a converted car ? Im toying with the idea of buying a nice NA with ABS and getting him to convert it for me, he's done a mkiv already so should be easy peasey Edited February 14, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find LS1's in this country is un-believable, people seem to think if they have one they have the right to print money. I seen quite a few for sale in the past but then they just dried up. I found an old s13 drag car for sale with an LS1 but it didn't tickle me. If he had a nice rx7 with a ls1 in it with the subframe in the stock position I would be interested.

I own a NA and will confirm anything as a bhp gain including passengers,food shopping and even a breeze pushing me along will do in my tiny mind.

Removed at your request (might want to edit your quote too ). I thought it was a relevant discussion even if you chose not to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
