Mike Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Open them up and see if the blades are ceramic.. if they are it's UK, if not it's J-Spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Open them up and see if the blades are ceramic.. if they are it's UK, if not it's J-Spec What? The JDM supra has ceramic turbo's designed to be lighter and spool quicker, the metal, heavier blades were reserved for the export market. The exhaust manifold on a UK car has a recirculation feature not seen on the JDM car so the exhaust manifolds are different. I don't think you can physically swap the turbos without other changes.

Jake Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 if the first cat is jspec then the turbos are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 What? The JDM supra has ceramic turbo's... I just enjoy spouting wrong information... why would he listen to me? I've got an N/A?! Sorry mate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 if the first cat is jspec then the turbos are too. the 1st cat has the temp sensor hanging out the side of it with the wires cut......which i no j specs have so ime guessing its a j spec cat.... as for the EGR its all still attached to the inlet side with the metal pipe coming out to the head but cant see where it goes onto the exhaust manifold to recirc it??

Chris Wilson Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Sounds like J-Spec turbos, turbo elbow and associated bits are fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
