Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Just wondering guys what sort of money I'll be looking at to convert my 1996 manual TT to a large single? Looking for around 650-700bhp, this will more than likely be happening after October when the car will be getting taken off the road to avoid the lovely salty roads. But the procurement of parts may begin very soon. Any help would be appreciated thought it best asking you guys who have probably been there and done it.

Ric Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 to do it proporly, around 15k+ To do it cheaply and more than likely unreliably around 6-8k as a general figure of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not as bad as I though to be honest, what else will need uprated other than the clutch, injectors and fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It all depends on your budget and how you source parts. There are reliable second hand parts and kits for sale. But it all depends on if you want it done straight away or can you wait it out for the parts you want. Also you planning to pay someone to do it? Because thats where it probably cost you the most.

Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 here's a general idea: Turbo Manifold Wastegate Injectors Fuel pressure regulator ECU Downpipe Fuel pump turbo blanket Catch can Air filter custom intercooler pipes if needed Those are the main things but other things you need will pop up when you start on it.

Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 My budget goes as far as it needs to go for it to be done right:rolleyes: yeah I would do some of the things myself I.e clutch, injectors, fuel pump, I'd remove the original turbos and manifold and trailer it to wherever I took it to so they can do the complicated bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 It already has a AEM ecu fitted to the car and a large k&n filter on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Then from the sounds of things you are half way there. I be surprised if you spend over 10k for your single build. If you can remove the stock twins, bolting the single parts are easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A good full single conversion is around 20k, If you want extreme/best your looking at 50k+ a good example is Kaan nice supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 A good full single conversion is around 20k, If you want extreme/best your looking at 50k+ a good example is Kaan nice supra. I'd say £20k is a bit steep. I'm considering going single next year and reckon I can get it done for just over £10k. But that is with me fitting the kit myself and not including unexpected extras.

Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I could probably fit the single kit myself and all the other bits and pieces that are needed if it not overly complicated, it would then just get put on a trailer to a specialist to get it mapped properly. So as an average you guys reckon it'll be £15K? A new borg warner s300 turbo kit with the manifold and downpipe is around £5K and I've already got the full exhaust system for it.

Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Like I said you are half way there already with the parts so I don't see why you can't do the build for around 10k, plus you are doing the build yourself. Also think about your camshafts, because if you do finish your build and its running at xxxbhp if you decide to change camshafts on a later date. The mapper has to start from the beginning again.

Style Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd go to SRD and get one of their single turbo kits. They're using the Gen2 Precision turbos which seem to be making some great numbers! Price isn't too bad in comparison to the BW kit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the SRD kit with a gen 1 journal 6266 turbo which I think is priced around £4200 (don't quote me), a used syvecs, ANSU injectors etc. The rest depends on the current spec of your car in regards to what fuel pump, brakes exhaust, boost controller, intercooler, suspension, clutch your running. Best thing to do is price up your ideal spec and then discuss with the traders on here what they will charge for labour and mapping etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 What cams would you recommend? 264/264 cams seem popular. I would speak to SRD, Buy their kit & other bits from them, Fit it and then get them to check and map it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 264/264 cams seem popular. Yeah 264 or 262. Unless you are going 1000+bhp I don't think you need it any bigger than the two recommended. Buy it from anyone reputable and you be fine. Also maybe worth looking around to see who be mapping your car. I think Chris Wilson is the closest tuner to you,might be worth having a word with him.

Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't mind travelling, Jurgen at JM imports is only 70 mile from me, I'll have a root around. Might just go all out and rebuild the engine whilst I'm at it as she's getting close to 100k or is that not a problem with the 2jz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If you have the money why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 If you have the money why not I'm not saying I'm a bottomless pit haha but if I'm going to do something I like doing it right, or in your opinion will the engine still be ok at them miles?
