Aero N/A to Turbo manual


Brian Jackett

Recommended Posts

As you know you cannot buy an Aero Turbo Manual Supra.

 

Which is why I want to build one.....

 

Any reason why you cannot put a Turbo Supra engine in a Mkiv Aero N/A (Cost not an issue).

 

 

Aero N/A are cheaper then an Aero Turbo, so as I want to mod a lot i.e. single turbo etc... then may as well buy an N/A.

 

I am looking for technical reasons why this would not work Aero N/A to Turbo.

Do you plan to turbo the NA unit, or put in a 2jz-gte? Eirther way is good, adding a turbo to a 2jz-gt is simpler though.

 

This is an easier path now eirther way due to the AEM ECU. And as long as you can afford it, there are no problem with doing this.

Was going to put in a whole complete engine from a Turbo car.

 

But if it is possible to add a Turbo to the N/A then will do that

 

It is possible eirther way. If you swap engines though, it is best to have a full donor car, as wiring loom and other electrics will also need changing.

 

Going NA-T would be easier, as long as you use the AEM (a good ECu needed whichever way you do things TBH). As only the ECU will need changing, rather than any other electrics.

The TT engine has piston oil cooling unlike the NA, The NA also has a different compression ratio.

 

Supraforums should give the low down on the NA option

I would say spend an extra 2k on an aero TT, this will give you a much better base to work from to build a single turbo car, and make life much easier. Unless you plan on changing all the internals anyway. I'm not an expert though, research it on supraforums cos it's been done lots. TT -> big single is a fair bit easier and cheaper than N/A -> big single though I believe.

More fuel

Intercooler

Parachute

The best setup to get traction at the rear wheels

etc. etc. etc.

 

Parachute? :eek: :cool:

 

Intercooler-wise, I reckon a Greddy 4-row is your best bet, or maybe something custom.

 

Fuel, depends on turbo and power aims. Probably 1000c+ injectors, new lines and twin pumps. What fuel will you use? Race fuel, unleaded, Methanol etc

 

What times you aiming for?

Unleaded

 

Times - No idea, top speeds would be good.

 

WHat times could I expect 10's?/ top speeds 190?. New to all this, the car I want to look special as well, fancy a really nice wide body jobbie.

 

So really times and speed are not everything, just fun knowing I built it my self and the fun in building.

Check out the top speed calc under technical on http://www.mkiv.co.nz/

 

Providing a raised rev limit, 200mph+ would be very easy.

 

10s? On street tires of DRs? You'll need good technique and a lot of power to run these sorts of times on street tires. Much simpler of DRs though.

 

Good luck with the bodywork, a widebody fitting some 335s underneath would be nice. :thumbs:

Independant rear suspension does you no favours either as the camber angles change as the car squats down. What do you want the car for Brian? A T88 or similar, with the suspension setup to put the power down, will be absolutely godawful to drive on the road or on a track day. Unless it's drag only you really need to go smaller.

would go with one of the sp turbo kits something like a sp63 or sp66 or sp67

 

is it going to be just a weekend play thing or a show car?

 

a nice red with starsky and hutch stripe would look cool, then when people in ferrari 325i laugh at you on road you can blow them away.
