Restoring Single Turbo Conversion to TT?

Wow I seem to have started something here!

 

Guys, unfortunately I don't own a Supra yet but I am working on it.:eyebrows:

 

No, it's something I always wondered but nerve found being discussed, NA-T yes, TT to Single Turbo yes, Auto to 6 Speed, 2JZ-GE to 2JZ-GTE but restoring TT not really it's ether super easy or no one does it!

 

Say I get a Single turbo Supra, since there is a lot of them around and I want to go back to TT, is it a case of buying the whole TT setup and sticking it back in or does it require some set up? The word I'm looking for is blot on?

 

I never really messed with turbos but I'm hands on, I did my MR2 clutch, SMIC and many other fun things haha if it counts!!

Well, I don't have everything bud, but most of it.

 

Stock twins, perfect working order

Exhaust manifold

Exhaust gas bypass valve

Exhaust collector

Stock fuel rail with 440s

Fuel pulsation damper

Egbv vsv

Tvsv

Oem bov

 

I'd sell all of the above for £300

 

You'd need to source:

 

Iacv vsv

Manifold heatshield

Vacuum lines

Intake pipework

Turbo pipework

Turbo oil lines

 

 

Ive possibly got a couple more bits kicking around, but that list would be almost everything

This is actually a fairly clever prospect. If you were to spend, say, 12-15k on a single 6 spd tubby.... you would probably get a good few K back from selling the parts. Most likely you would make more of a difference than it would to just buy a TT6.

 

Anyway. I can't see any issues at all for swapping back to TT6. The only thing I would say, if you are looking to do it, is get yourself a good known TT6 harness, so that you don't need to worry about any loom modifications. That way the wiring is absolutely straight forward and absolutely everything is plug and play :)

Guys, thanks for all your amazing answers and suggestions I have never had a warmer welcome than this! ;)

 

The car I am looking at is exactly what I want features/spec wise and almost stock but has a Single Turbo setup with a little more power over stock TT (actually a BPU TT could achieve the same...) and I can actually afford it.

 

Trouble is I though about a TT6 but I really want one now as I can't bare to wait any longer!! :taped:

 

Besides by the time I upgrade it to a TT6 say it will cost about as much as they cost anyway but at least I will get to work on the car and spread the cost and make it more affordable to do and hopefully find any issue along the way, you always do! lol

PITA yes but I don't mind as long as I can find all the relevant info and parts.

 

If and once I get the car I will post pic ect...

 

Thanks again
