mikeyb10supra Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 says nothing about a built transmission either or a higher stall speed, that would be a dog to drive without both of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 AFAIK Garret never made a T04 turbo, I bet its one of those crappy XS power T04 (b) jobbies. He'll be lucky if it's even 350bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 What a great price. I may call him if you don't;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Holy crap it's only in Crawley, 10mins down the road from me ! I'm not looking, I'm just not looking Some things aren't right, a reprogrammed access ecu ? Blitz did an access ecu, but I don't think they are mappable. Plus the Blitz access ecu includes a FCD, so why run an HKS one too ? etc. Doesn't say what injectors are on. However, says it has a rebuilt engine by the turbo centre, so sounds like he may be able to prove this. I'd like to know more, but I'm not going to find out - already have too many cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know more, but I'm not going to find out - already have too many cars Its got an SAFC, so must barely run the single. Bet its got stock injectors too Worth a look though, if its local... get some piccies if you do please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Garrett T04 Well I never... Still reackon it'll be a bodge job of a conversion. If it were done properly it'd have some of the spec mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 But with the engine already rebuilt and the building blocks in place someone could have a decent car for very little extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 But with the engine already rebuilt and the building blocks in place someone could have a decent car for very little extra money Okay, maybe I'm being a litle sceptical here, but just because he says its "Built" doesn't really mean anything. For all we know it might just of had the head off at some stage, or some fault reapired. Doesn't mean its got a new set of pistons, rods, bolts, etc... If it had I'm sure it'd be mentioned (and the price bumped by £5-8k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It's not an NA-T, unless NA's came with traction control??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had I'm sure it'd be mentioned (and the price bumped by £5-8k) I'd be very sceptical too, and re-reading the advert, it may be the turbo that has the new internals, not the engine ! It's a poorly written advert, and from the info. given you just can't tell if it's any good or not. But there is a chance it could make a decent starting point if you want a single'd Supra, and i'd say its worth a look - but with your eyes wide open. I'm not going to have a chance to go look myself, plus you can only imagine the look I got from the missus last night when I threw it into a conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
