jay_NW Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 That seems very cheap - at least compared to the TT to Single thread that's around where the total cost seemed to be about £9K. I seem to be missing something, because there seem to be two options for having a big power single turbo : 1) Buy a TT (£8K?), and spend £9K converting it to single 2) Buy an NA (£5K?) and spend £4K converting it to single I'm sure I'm missing something significant - but why do people buy TTs again.....? The pistons, cams, engine works, 650cc injecters dont come with the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_NW Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Great work, do you have an auto tranny or manual? 5 speed manuel and its getting re-built with stronger parts to take the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 5 speed manuel and its getting re-built with stronger parts to take the power. Would you mind to post the costs for these parts? and do you know what parts they will use to improve the strength of the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Have you got any pics of the dyno chart, not seen one yet from an NA conversion. What turbo is that in there and what was the rear wheel HP (the one that matters ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 and about the gear box they rebuild the gear box with stronger components. Stronger components from where? it is a toyota box. The guys on supraforums have been doing these conversions for years, it is a fact the 5 speed is a weak box. Your box will not last long with 500 newton metres of torque going through it, but if turbofit say they can then:d Good figures BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying but I think maybe what you're missing is that a singled TT would be making more than this singled NA. Jay's car is now making 390rwhp and 395 lb-ft or torque, if I've worked it out right. Now that's a big improvement over an NA but it's not a lot more that some BPU TTs. I suppose the power level of Jay's car is now about halfway between a BPU TT and a small single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
