tim_palmer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 PHR Stage 1 Turbo Kit Hey guys, Was just wondering what you all thought about this piece of kit as I'm very tempted to go down the N/A-T path, seeing as all the TT guy are constantly slating the N/A and I have always wanted to have the boost sensation. Also if anyone is running this I would like to know how its been for them and whether or not they would recommend it. Thanks Fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thats supposed to be a very good kit. Personally, I would go with a Supra TT first and then convert that to a single rather than a NA. I just believe its better to start with a design that was built by Toyota for FI. Also - for me, Singles work best with Manuals and not with Autos. TBH - I am not a fan of Autos full stop, but each to their own. If you are buying a kit then let me know, perhaps if we bought it together we could end up with a discount.

Jake Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I just believe its better to start with a design that was built by Toyota for FI. Huh? Where did you get that from? TBH - I am not a fan of Autos Oh really? I'm surprised you haven't mentioned it before now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 isn't there a problem with them kits being in the states so made for LHD and fowl on the steering shaft on the RHD? if not i maybe interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Huh? Where did you get that from? The engines are different right, the compression ratios, Cam profiles, pistons, etc..... One is designed to be NA and then other FI; now if you would like to go down the route of a single turbo - from my point of view it would make sense to start from the right base (hence the Supra TT engine).

Scooter Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 ah i think Jake read it (as i did first!) that you meant "F1" ie Jensen Button etc and not Fi (forced induction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think Jake, like me, initially thought you meant designed for 'F1' rather than Forced Induction. edit: Damn it too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim_palmer Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hehe, thanks for the response fellas, and I agree that starting with a TT and going single is alot better unfortunately I'm a poor man and my supe is keeping me that way so upgrading what I've got is the only option (apart from selling it ). I'll look into it further imi as I'm going in for the ol'gumball this year so might be able to get trade price and if we're buying together maybe more of a discount if I am going ahead with it I'll let you know.

imi Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Ta... I have started researching single turbos. Looking for a daily driver, so has to be smallish, quick spool and great driveability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably work out quite a bit cheaper to sell yours and buy a TT instead, compared to fitting a turbo kit on your NA. The PHR products are very high quality, I have used a number of their parts on my single kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
