sean2kuk Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi everyone..... Only had a supra about 6 weeks and learning about different modifications. ....can somebody explain about going single and manual conversions with cost ect? Going single what turbo to use and expected bhp? Is the manual box a w58? I think ive seen that somewhere.... Current car is a baltic blue 93 GZ TT auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Single turbo conversions done properly will be over £10k. Manual conversions for a TT go for around £4k at the moment I think. You don't want to use the five-speed W58 with a single turbo. You need a six-speed V160/V161 for that sort of torque. To find out which turbos and power levels are good, have a search on here. It's been covered loads of times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been covered loads of times It can be cheaper if you buy 2nd hand parts and collect them Also dont rule out the autobox, there are a few on here that run them and they are very good when rebuilt.

Swampy442 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Also the way the power is delivered and when is far more important than the ultimate hp. A 500+hp road car is pretty scary and you can achieve that on a fairly small turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sell your car, and buy a one already converted. It will save you a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been discussed to death, but if I were doing it I'd be using brand new parts that I know will work from day one. There are enough variables involved in a build like that without worry about perished seals and leaky diaphragms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on your budget and whether your willing to take the risks that go with buying 2nd hand parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
