Turbo diameter is larger, injectors are smaller. If you care to search you can find pictures of the impellers themselves and the remarkable difference in size. Turbo's are more complex than simple impeller size though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That interesting .. Nope definately physically bigger (smaller injectors though yes), but people just assume they are smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm not seeing prices going up in the jap auctions. He was shocked at what he was paying a few weeks / mths previously for particular models, His Jap buyer has said the Russia thing is having a large effect on buying / bidding prices, All down to profits of the importer We probably won't see much of a hike here as to be honest there is a limit to what we will pay at the end of the day for what is a 10 year old car.. RX8 FOR EXAMPLE Why buy an import ... Same money.. 350z the same ( he got stuck with 2x for 5 mths !! and they only had 2k miles each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter on the size its the efficiency and pressure output that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be the UK versus Jap spec debate, Its all pros and cons , UK you get standard leather and a few creature comforts better brakes etc but the Jap has other benefits too , So i suppose its down to what the buyer wants, Seems to be lots of conflicting specs etc about the J Spec Supra whenever you read about them nothing. is ever the same..
