Brian Jackett Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 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.

Syed Shah Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Jackett Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks for the reply, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Supraforums should give the low down on the NA option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 NA-Ts have also made 700RWHP + As Gavin said, check out SF, and it's NA forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam W Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Jackett Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Anyone know how much a T88 Turbo kit costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Jackett Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 ANd of course all the extras such as : More fuel Intercooler Parachute The best setup to get traction at the rear wheels etc. etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 $4000 or so. Consider something a bit more up to date like an SP74GT or similar though, the T88 is about tne years old now and technology has moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Originally posted by far R L T C ! ! ! The best set up for drag racing is a locked rear end (spool). Pretty dire when it comes to the riundy round bits though unless the whole car is designed around it like the early Porsche Group C racers.

Adam W Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 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.

MONKEYmark Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 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.
