zaheer0027 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hello I want to order an xs power turbo kit for my supra sz 5 Speed. I just want to know from any members on here, where did you purchase yours? Xs power website? Ss auto chrome website? Any other website? Reason I'm asking is I've tried calling them but no answer. Also no reply to my email. I'm thinking they closed down but I'm not sure[emoji52] Thanks in advance for any help. Zaheer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Most experienced members would recommend that you simply buy a cheap TT and save the hassle like I did. I owned an NA and when I looked into it, turbo reliability seemed to be a major issue for some people. I even bought a second hand '700-1000hp rated' twin scroll XSPower turbo off ebay for £90 and whilst it looks ok quality it only has oil cooled sleeve bearings and that's not ideal. It may go on the truck eventually for a laugh. The seller said it had too much lag bolted to his VW Corrado! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If you want to know about the XS power stuff, send dr_jekyll a pm. He had built some of the best and quickest NA-T supra a on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaheer0027 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks for the replies. The reason I want to go Nat is 1. My 2jzge only has 81000km 2. To do a tt transplant will cost 40000zar /2000£. I can go Nat for that same amount and get more power on my engine which Is still fresh considering the mileage. 3. Tt engines are a bit of a hit and miss affair. The importers say it has 70k-80k on it but there is no proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I had an xs kit on my old na-t for just over a year running 400hp Turbo looked brand new when removed and it didnt have an easy life, my car had a beeR rev limiter aswell They do not reply to email, been there done that, but they do still trade as far as im aware For me i only used the manifold, turbo, downpipe The rest of the kit like wastegate, oil lines etc are pretty crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Most important for judging an engine's likely internal condition is if it was from a manual or an auto. Autos just don't rev' very highly throughout their life compared to manuals, that are usually over-revv'ed at each gear change to allow for the drop off in rev's between gears rather than when it's best for the engine. Manual Supras can accelerate so fast in first and second that they inevitably hit 4-5000 rev's even when being driven casually and it's incredibly habit forming and addictive. All this increases engine wear dramatically. Thanks for the replies. The reason I want to go Nat is 1. My 2jzge only has 81000km 2. To do a tt transplant will cost 40000zar /2000£.

abtin90 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Contact Dr Jekyll as I'm sure he offers fitting too at a very good price. I may be wrong but I'm sure he produces a kit of his own now based on the xs power kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaheer0027 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just a heads up I managed to get through to xs power. Their Facebook group is XXS POWER. There is a contact number on that group that someone answers. Also because the shipping cost is prohibitively expensive I won't be using them.

Morpheus Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Just a heads up I managed to get through to xs power. Their Facebook group is XXS POWER. Not very confusing then! Great marketing strategy. Not. Maybe the name was already registered to the original company that probably went bust because it was called S Power and disgruntled employees left it and called themselves X S Power. I used to work for an agency called XJS because two employees left their former company called JS (Employment Agency or whatever). That doesn't make sense by the way. Edited May 9, 2015 by Morpheus Because it doesn't make sense. Actually it does. My bad. (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaheer0027 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 So I got a quote and basically the shipping cost is ridiculous. It would be cheaper for me to send the kit in a 20ft container lol. So I guess that option is out. Any other options for a decent quality budget turbo kit ? I have already purchased my aem v2 ecu from a member for my 2jzge so there is no turning back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
