Animal Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Bin the induction kit and put a stock airbox in. Ask that question again in the search box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 its been covered many times i think they state the best thing to do with a n/a is to burn it, but you could always put a turbo on it n/a-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross C Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Service it, Enjoy it, then when the time comes sell it, upgrade to a TT. From an NA owner this is the best option. To get any power from an NA costs an awful lot for very little gains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It all comes down to your power goals and your current spec? I've got an NA but i have the v161 so logical step for me is going NA-T with a TT pistons so i can run higher boost and know that i've got the gearbox that can cope, if you have the auto/5speed manual and are looking for higher power i would really say just get a TT 6spd instead as it will probably workout cheaper in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP, if you are already craving more power, then perhaps an N/A isn't for you? Plenty of TT auto's going for 3-4k nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Get a whistle that you fit on the exhaust to make it sound like a turbo. That, or make BOV sounds with your mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2o2 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would concentrate on getting it set up well with some decent brakes and sorted suspension then maybe look at losing some weight from the car . As mentioned your not really going to get much from throwing money at the na engine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 right picking up my supra 2night just wanted to no if there's anything to do to get the most out the engine it already has a big zorst ant indution kit Hi and welcome to the club.

Graham1984 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) After having a na for a while now the only ways you will get the most out of it will be to have an upgraded manifold that does the first decat at the same time a 2nd decat a catback exhaust and if you are really lucky a mines ecu which is what I have but as mentioned the cost to gain is not in your favour. You could strip out unwanted weight like the back seats ect but it all depends on how you want your car to look. A good service with new filters,spark plugs,dizzy cap and arm won't go a miss and also get a stock airbox and panel filter back in it as well. The ironic thing is some engines will have retained more of the horses that were originally in the stable at the start which is annoying when you get other na's with just a a first decat catback being the same speed as what you are after shelling out.

Plenty of TT auto's going for 3-4k nowadays. i'm not sure i follow given that to reach my power goal I would need to go single on the TT engine anyways i don't see how buying a TT engine ditching the twins then going single on that will be more cost efficient than going NA-T as I will be doing the work myself this will also keep costs down, technically speaking I could even reach the power goals I have in mind by just fitting a thicker HG as opposed to getting TT pistons.

Dim Sum Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you don't have alot of money to play with right now, best just to leave the supra alone and when you can afford it buy one thats turbo already. Will save alot of time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.T. pistons are designed to work in conjunction with the oil squirters which you won't have, save yourself a lot of unnecessary work and use the thicker head gasket solution.

Sound advice......... I like how I was one of the only one's who tried to give the advice he wanted........ The old threads were right this place is going downhill.

David P Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't know why folks bother fitting thicker head-gaskets either, a stock N/A engine will take 1.1 bar of boost and give 500 horsepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my preference, especially from a resale point of view. I don't ever think I've seen a N/A-T fetch good money. It's your car, but I would be thinking of future valve before I undertook a serious modification like that on a clean OEM car like yours.

If your doing a cheap conversion go for it, but if your throwing money at it, it's always better to see some back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
