I'm a first year student in a 3 years degree, so I don't understand how I can get my degree sooner. I will get a part-time job as soon as I get my right to work (~3 months), 2 pt jobs means full time and as I'm a student it's impossible. Saving like 3-400 pounds every month means I have to wait 1 year+ just to afford the TT 6 spd Supra...and a few more months just to afford all the mods to make it APU. So the n/a seems for the moment the best solution but who knows, maybe I'll win the lottery :bow: :rofl2:.
"note that a thicker head gasket in a 2jz-ge does not produce a combustion chamber with the equivalent shape and horsepower potential to a 2jz-gte" I know this, but I meant raising the boost from 9-10 psi (don't know the stock n/a boost level) to 15-16 psi, not higher. "You also still may run into detonation issues at lower boost levels" I also had in mind better spark plugs + better coils. That should do it, right? And for all the work I'll ask a friend to help me + I'm somehow a medium mechanic, as I've worked before at my motorcycles (when I used to ride them) + I've helped a friend build a 240sx, from whom I've learned some good things. For the harder things like the gasket kit and the drilling the oil tank, I'll try to find a good mechanic (who worked with supra's before). Thanx again!:bow: |

Another thing is, auto TT is considerably cheaper than 6MT. I'd advise you to go with that instead of the N/A if you truly want turbo power. Of course, it won't feel as dynamic as the 6MT :D If you do go with N/A, try to find an SZ-R (JDM spec and grade) post '95 - they have the same tranny and suspension (Bilstein shocks!!!) as the TT so, turbo'ing that baby will be even more sensible. Did you see any in the UK so far for good prices? Have you checked out the link I gave you?? Lots of great info there that will answer many of your questions on N/A - TT differences and conversions... Hope you get it soon :bouncy: |

The SZ-R is the perfect candidate for the n/a's, but it's rare... In UK, TT's go from 5500 pounds for auto's and from 9000 pounds for 6spd. And as this is the starting price, these come with high mileage or seem used hard so for a fairly good one add at least 1k more. The n/a's start from ~ 1750 up to 3000 pounds for a very good one. The thing is I could have money for the auto TT(even though I want the manual :(), but I have to keep in mind also registration costs, I want to fit an alarm with gps, service check before buying, changing oil, brake pads and etc beside the power increase which is the whole point :(... Pwpanas, what about the SZ-R, you haven't said anything about them. If I could find a SZ-R, I could also put tt calipers + brake disks and I could also rebuild the engine after ~1 year with TT pistons :D. I prefer this instead of waiting until like mid 2013 to buy the TT...:rolleyes2 |
