Matt H Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 So the company that Hyper are using to Hybridise the turbos that F*ing turbofit stuck on my car have kindly, a week into having them, have told Hyper the turbos are beyond repair?! Can this be possible? only the second turbo blew, so how can both of them be beyond repair? im so fed up with my luck with my engine work on the supra its un-true, i just want my baby back, like she was, running perfectly and powerful at the same time, looking good and me actually behind the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=124267&highlight=screwed So Glad i did not take my car to turbo fit who was going to originally do all my work but instead had full engine re-build & Envy Stage 3 Hybrid conversion done at Mark@Phoenix & over the moon for what Mark has done to my car so far. Sorry to hear you having all so many bad troubles with yours hope you get it all sorted out soon. Here's my re-build thread for you to have a look at of what I have done to mine so far. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=117472 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have 4 spare / blown turbo's in the garage one which isnt blown and has slight compressor damage hence it being taken off. Your welcome to it if you want it. Though dont know how much postage would be for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Maybe it is worth seriously considering a small single now as the car needs new turbos and you seem to want to have a good power level on tap from what I remember of the original thread?

I disagree, it's going to cost a significant amount of money to go down the single route and from what Matt's posted I don't think he wants to invest another £5k in the car. I'd just go with the Envy hyrbids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Man thats bad news, get some Envy hybrids Matt. £1300 with the added benefit of a guarantee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Because he ran them at 1.4bar Mate, thats really pissed me off, they blew because my hybrids werent put back on, stock turbos were put back on and no way can they handle 1.4. I have 4 spare / blown turbo's in the garage one which isnt blown and has slight compressor damage hence it being taken off. Your welcome to it if you want it. Though dont know how much postage would be for you. Cheers mate thats really good of you. I'll bare that in mind but as it stands i think Hyper have a set they are sending off. cheers tho, very much appriciated. You changed your mind Matt ? thought you was going Blitz BIG Twins as you said in the Pancake run thread ...........Turbofit have something to answer for mate !! not good Cheers -Ian- Lol, no mate, i was only jokin about the Blitz twins! would be nice but far too pricey! Man thats bad news, get some Envy hybrids Matt. £1300 with the added benefit of a guarantee too. these envy ones sound good. ill take that further i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 How much are stock JSpec turbos going for nowadays? I am sure you could find some reasonably low mileage ones that are intact. It will save you a lot of money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just go with the Envy hyrbids Why would it cost a significant amount more when he already has the supporting mods required to run a small single? A much more worthwhile direction to go in IMO, especially given the reliability record of most 'hybrids'. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Maybe, guys, just maybe, he wants to go with hybrids and it's his decision, hmm? They are stil a viable option and his car is set up for a plug-and-play swap. Just needs a bit of good luck for a change. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
