Homer Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Jesus, good luck mate, you'll need it. 90% of the kit is junk, there are very few usable bits so hope you have a decent contingency fund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You probably will with that kit.. pessimist .............at least with NA engines being given away he won't be short of a cheap replacement........ i say good luck if he can resist going mad with the boost it'll be fine i think......."edit" talking NA-T in general not sure of the quality of the bits of this particular kit.

Marco Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 As I understand it, you should avoid XSpower! Don't buy it!! You'll regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I would go down the TT route, its stronger and has more potential going forward, also NA-T cars dont have as good a resale value Otherwise best of luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Which kit have you ordered Chris? Presumably this is from their ebay shop? If you can show a link or list the exact parts in the kit there's a few here that can recommend what might and might not be usable. Presuambly you know all the 'extra' costs associated with the NA-T conversion? It will be more costly and time consuming that an NA-TT conversion.

Homer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I don't understand your rational for this, a purpose made kit like the BL will cost significantly less in the long run, especially with the exchange rates right now. The XS one is junk and will not be bolt-on. Have a read of the older posts by Bromy and GazzaGSI to get a picture of the costs involved (BL and XS power respectively) What are your goals for the conversion in terms of peak power and power delivery?

SatSport Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 better alternative here http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/Toyota-(93-98)-MK4-Supra-Turbo-Upgrades-Turbo-Kits/c128_130_335_336/p168/ETS-(93-98)-Toyota-MK4-Supra-NA-T-Turbo-Kit/product_info.html costs more but maybe not so in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ETS Michael Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm running the ETS Turbo kit on my SC300. The NA-T Version. Everything was a direct bolt on. Included everything i needed. Here is a picture of my SC300 - I went with the 3" Intercooler because it's all I needed. You get what you pay for most of the time. Before my 97 conversion I'm going to recirc my blow off valve once my HKS comes in. ----- I'm not a vendor here yet, So you can erase my post if needed. Just looking out for you. I'm a lurker more then a poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ETS Michael Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My car is my daily driver and has been boosted for 5 months now with no problems. I enjoy it. My car was a slug before I added the turbo kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra-lover Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Why not do a TT transplant? Same power (with much more future potential), cheaper, more reliable, etc... would do but you have to change every bloody thing, gear box clutch drive shafts too much hassel mate plus finding a bloke to fit it mega money just not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Michael, did you go with the Stage 2 fuel system as well, and what sort of bhp numbers are you seeing with your spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My car is my daily driver and has been boosted for 5 months now with no problems. I enjoy it. My car was a slug before I added the turbo kit. does this kit definitely clear the steering column on a RHD car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ETS Michael Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 would do but you have to change every bloody thing, gear box clutch drive shafts too much hassel mate plus finding a bloke to fit it mega money just not worth it My car is an automatic so for me to switch to the TT, and go with the 6 speed would have cost me a ton of money as well. I'm happy with the setup i went with. If i could have gone with the TT i would have, it just didn't fit into my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
