SARD K27 Single Turbo kit.

If the manifold cracks, can you still buy a replacement? If the turbo is failing, or fails, can you replace or rebuild it? Same for wastegate. These are far more important questions when buying a car with a rare (in the UK) turbo kit. Ask the same about clutches, LSD's and dampers.

 

This thread has some info:

If it's a genuine KKK turbo and not some Jap hybrid made under licence, it possibly can be rebuilt. I would imagine it's on the sensible size of medium, IYSWIM? Not so big as to be laggy as hell, not so small as to be no better, and perhaps worse, than OE sequential twins.

 

A turbo is only as good as its supporting mods, like cams, compression, overall engine condition, ECU and mapping. What ECU is in it?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for advice,

I see your point, but my point of view on that was being rare I need to make sure there's support available,

But if I bought a standard car if only upgrade those parts anyway I think? Does that make sense?

Is it a fair way of looking at it?

 

IE manifold. Well if it cracks then I'll replace it. There's probably better items available anyway I guess. Turbo the same. 6266 looks good haha!

 

I know very little on engine specs currently I'm looking into the car as we speak and awaiting its final checks and mapping now it's in the UK.

 

Also

 

IYSWIM? Not sure what that stands for sorry?

Bodykit information also isn't accurate. I believe cwest v2 front bumper, oem spats and maybe top secret side skirts.

 

SVA is just down the road from me, if you are serious about buying this car and would like me to go down and get more info or come see it with you then lemme know

Its a crazy way to go about it, rather than getting say, an HKS bov with a recirc adaptor.

 

It's certainly different, bit of a mad scientist thing going on. If it allows you to run without a BOV I can understand why they have set it up like this although I'd imagine there are easier ways to run without.

Was that that's at to do say 8 or so years ago. As it seems for what people have said it's an old kit and ECU. So likely to have been built specced a while back

Which gives me a little confidence in the fact it's lasted.

How many miles its actually covered is another story.

But looking at the fact it's got 2-piece front discs. Front wheels condition would suggest potentially aggressive compound pads, blue and smouldered edges on tyres with fairly agressive camber(from looking at obviously I've no idea what it's running. And what's agressive on Supras for that matter)

It looks to have been driven hard. Or being used as a track car. But no cage. Just a rear brace across the top or rear seats.

I would fit a MOTEC ecu and have it properly mapped, assuming the engine is basically sound. If it's been run mad

rich due to poor mapping or an incompetent ecu currently fitted it will probably need a rebuild first. Others favour

Syvecs ecu's on Supras and other engines. There are cheaper options, but factor all this into the bid price. I still think it's ludicrously overpriced.

There are dozens of competent MOTEC mappers, and a 4 stroke piston engine is a 4 stroke piston engine,

nothing different about the Supra one, especially a single turbo one.

 

I have personally used Fraser MacKellar and Dave Rowe for mapping various MOTEC ecu'd engines, but there are MANY more.

 

 

If these guys are trusted mapping this sort of stuff I guess they should just about manage a Supra ;)
