scott87 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Im looking at modifying a tt inlet manifold to fit my n/a, i havent carried this kind of work out before so would like some assistance if possible Im also looking for someone with a fairly nicely powered na-t (nothing over 450bhp) that could take me for a spin so i can have a real feel of what i am going to be soon getting into.

I will look into getting the parts come payday then :-) Dont want to go in that, it'll make me want to buy a tt :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDevelopments Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 what do you want to do with it? there are turbo converted n/a's on the forum making very good power with the stock n/a intake system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I want to mount the tt inlet as it would be on the tt but on my n/a. The main reasons are whilst its n/a it means i can access the engine easier to make changes or repairs and when it goes na-t i will be able to mount a fmic without having realy long pipes bending all across the engine bay.

TBDevelopments Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 mmm as you know i'm new to the supra so not upto date on the finer details yet of stud pattern etc, i know you can't use manifolds from n/a to turbo on any other toyota engine. So that would be the information you need to find. if the manifolds will even swap over Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Scott save yourself a heartache and do TT conversion. By the time you will finish gathering all stuff for NA-T + cost of mapping it properly, you will have decent TT conversion. I might have 1JZ engine coming out from my Supra soon (i'm going 1UZ way), can do complete conversion for you and you can see engine running.

Chris Wilson Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Either do a TT conversion or keep the N/A intake. Doing a one off TT style intake to an N/A head will cost a fortune unless you have your own machine shop. The gains will be negligible at modest power levels, the sort high compression, cast, none oil cooled pistons will be happy with! If you are desperate to give yourself wallet and headaches, do a multi throttle valve conversion. Not much harder, infinitely better than even the TT manifold.

scott87 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 It isn't to make gains on the n/a engine as such, its to get the bay ready for na-t. I much prefer how the intercooler plumbing looks with the tt inlet as apposed to the pipes being stretched right across the bay. Do you mean an itb set-up? I looked into that and it was very expensive for very small gains. A tt conversion was on the cards but price wise it's a world away from going na-t, i also am looking to keep an n/a engine also because they are much cheaper to maintain or replace should something go wrong. Par mapping, which im waiting for a quote back for, the cost of na-t is coming in at nearly 900 less than a low mile tt lump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Trust me, doing a proper N/A to single turbo conversion is nothing like as cheap as doing a TT conversion using OE parts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Part priced up so far it is coming in much less, im also paying zero labour costs par the mapping. But i should add, im wanting to do a build rather than a conversion, i converted my mr2 so fancy something different also.

TBDevelopments Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 i've done alot of mr2 n/a to turbo conversion and they are fairly simple. But i do understand your desire to be different. anyone got any pictures just for reference for the guy of the stud pattern differences etc of the n/a and tt manifold setups. I'd personally get a TT after owning mine but trying to help you with information as i'm here to learn as well Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 OK, good luck, the maths don't work for me, sorry. This. A complete TT engine conversion from Keron (iirc) is in the region of £3000-£4000. A decent NA-t is going to cost at least the same, if not more with decent parts. Saying that, a few people have had great success with budget parts, but if it goes wrong, you'll be paying a lot more to put it right.

Nodalmighty Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I will ask my wife if she would make this for you. I have a spare NA upper inlet half we can cut the lid off. I also, by some quirk of fate, have a custom front facing inlet for an na in stock for a polish and paint so could use as a template for yours. You will need to buy a throttle body kit and mounting flange. I have a billet 90mm throttle body kit in stock but It might be sold. Lyndon.

Chris Wilson Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The easiest way to get a stud pattern outline is to buy a TT inlet manifold to head gasket. It so happens I have several new ones for sale .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
