TT Paul Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Well been on the cards for a while always wanted a single decided to do it, Going to use a complete xspower t61 kit will be fitted to run on stock ecu for now on low boost gets sorn in winter as well, then with syvecs coming later and a hybrid autobox built by david.p to take the power, hoping for around 500bhp for now. I was going to have a go myself but time and some where to do it hold me back so went with some one who has done it and has been very helpful from the start of getting parts to making me a list, even when he was on holiday still kept in touch. The build will be done by T14PPA from the forum met him today nice bloke, had a chat and left the sup there for the start of a new chapter. so will update as we go should take around 1 month for stage 1 of the build Supporting mods Xs power turbo kit 840cc injectors to be fitted Twin autobox coolers with fans Syvecs etc. tobe fitted Larger fuel lines 3inch straight through exhaust David.p built autobox to be fitted Walboro 400lph pump Large fmic Fpr 264 hks cams Edited October 2, 2014 by TT Paul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Good luck with the build Paul, but how are you going to control the 840cc injectors if you are staying with the stock ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraleeturbo Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd order 2 manifolds for when the 1st cracks mate Or go for a japspeed one if your trying to keep the cost down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you never heard of greddy or hks manifolds cracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Why didn't it fit? Was it for a GE? They might have sorted it now, but back in the day the xs manifolds on a GTE lump could never hold steady boost as the WG port was to small. Personally I wouldn't touch anything xs power myself, if you are on a budget I'd go cast manifold, find a good quality, used turbo and WG.

j_jza80 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't know why people never get their turbos/manifolds braced, it's pretty common with other cars. Given the weight of turbos that Supras use, it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't know why people never get their turbos/manifolds braced, it's pretty common with other cars. Given the weight of turbos that Supras use, it makes sense. Bracing is fine on a cast manifold but on tubular they generally break the brace over time as the manifold expands and contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I agree but remember this is pauls build thread. Its not right for people to start putting the parts down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I agree but remember this is pauls build thread. Its not right for people to start putting the parts down. You got what I said completely wrong, I was just saying that the xs are known for cracking and for him to get a better one so he doesn't have the troubles later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You got what I said completely wrong, I was just saying that the xs are known for cracking and for him to get a better one so he doesn't have the troubles later on I dont think xspower are as bad as eveyone says. Ive had my manifold on for over a year now and its holding fine. Yes they may not last as long as a top brand but you can also replace it at a tenth of the cost - - - Updated - - - You got what I said completely wrong, I was just saying that the xs are known for cracking and for him to get a better one so he doesn't have the troubles later on Ps: i wernt having a go at you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
