JamieP Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 I’ve never modded a car thinking about resale value and don’t plan to start now 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I think anyone that has done it for the resale value is crazy. I suppose you're in a unique situation with your setup. As you have the R35 to hand. So its surely got to influence what you'd want this one for. I recall you said 800hp was a good power value for the Supra.

JamieP Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 800hp in a supra is the sweet spot but I doubt I will go that far with it, I’d be happy with TT auto I think as want to use this car a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue if you going standalone then you might as well just have a basic cast manifold set up on the NA with a 58mm turbo and a DavidP hybrid box.

Expand It’s another option if Jamie is wanting to stay TT, I don’t know anyone yet who has fitted the Munro hybrids with a built auto controlled by Syvecs?

Expand He's NA mate, and Syvecs or any other aftermarket ECU can't control the autobox correctly and smoothly, you still need the stock ECU to control the autobox and add a piggyback ECU, like the LINK ECU.

Luxluc Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'm pretty sure Jamie has a nice plan. A Supra will always be a good invest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Fantastic news - I'm just passing through the forum and find that JP is back. Nice one Jamie, great to have you back behind a Supra. All the best, Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I decided to stay 2jz in the end, I bought a vvti 2jz-ge that SRD are fully building for me, will probably go with something like a Borg Warner billet s369 turbo. I need to find a 6 speed box also, I’m not in any rush though, I’ve got a lot going on at the min. also in the middle of building another garage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I like the garage - lots! We looked at a house up in the islands of Scotland and the quote to build a similiar size garage to yours with a room in the loft was £50,000 (and it wasn't brick built either). You must know a good builder, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I don't know if you'd noticed, but you forgot to build the roof. Also, the door appears to open into a hedge. Edited March 1, 2021 by Thorin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Knew I forgot something lol, everyone keeps banging on about the door into the hedge, there is plenty of room to get in, I didn’t want a door but would be a pain if there was an issue with the electric garage door or a power cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Now that’s a decent size garage. Just need a car lift in there and your sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your garage looks to be 40% bigger than the one we quoted for. It looks as if you'll be holidaying in the Scottish Islands next year for a few weeks Jamie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Been a bit busy of late, Not much going on with the supra but the new garage is finished. I need to jump back on gathering parts. If anyone sees a decent deal on a v160/v161 let me know please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Have you considered the Grannas Racing T56 swap? They supply it with a cast bellhousing adapter now too, so it looks more oem. Works with na auto diff ratio too I believe. https://www.grannasracing.com/blogs/news/new-2jz-to-t56-cast-aluminum-bellhousing https://www.grannasracing.com/products/supra-t56-magnum-f-swap-kit-mkiv-2jz-tr6060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 And comes with a warranty. Full kit shipped including clutch is similar to a v160 box on its own. Shifts way smoother too, watched a torque comparison on the shifter. The cast bellhousing reduces cost and better sound insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
