Tricky-Ricky Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have been talking about it for a while now, and as I'm getting a little bored with the Supra, and fancy a change. So I'm considering selling, but only if i get a sensible return, or possible PX with cash my way for the right car. I am in no hurry, nor do i need to sell, so daft offers will not be entertained. M reg six speed JDL kitted single (GT4088) this has a precision turbo hot side with NO signs of overheated turbine, and NOT the Garrett housing which is made from the wrong material and will cause damage at high temps, as its made for diesel's! and in fact just been rebuilt with double seals on the hot side. Anyway i digress, there are pics in my garage, and i will endeavour to document all the mods eventually, this was a fresh import from Jurgen JM Imports back in 2006, and I'll have to check but i think there is still under 50K on it. Just testing the water at the moment, so more details and pics to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Finally taking the jump out then mate, what you got in mind to replace it with...im STILL having that nightmare. Great car this, and I too share the same views on the GT4088, I also had a genuine Precision Garrett unit and this too was clean and completely undamaged when removed...seems its only the copies that have issues. Good luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck mate! Thanks Sean, yes i have no real idea what to replace it with, and i still enjoy it from time to time, but i just fancy a change rather than keep throwing money at the Supra, and although its capable of over 600BHP with an injector change and a remap, i still want a change.

wkdtime Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Why can't people offer 350Zs R34GTT or S15 for PX instead of M3 and RX8:taped: bump! IMHO E46 M3 would be a more fun toy than any of the above listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, mine has endured >600 bhp for over two years without issue. Think mapping plays a big part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
