Scooter Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 With it being approx £200 for a whole engine as removed from someone doing a TT swap it makes more sense to get one of these and swap it in than rebuild yours........unless you are after something special?

tooquicktostop Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 What would the point of throwing money for a rebuild on an NA engine be exactly? I just cant see the point unless its for another car, even then the TT lump is the only way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka-P Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Id either buy another NA engine or go TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dannyboy107 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hmm im stuck between Na-T or TT and i no most of you will say TT costs less more efficient etc............. If i was to go Na-T id go full engine rebuild with stronger internals be near the 350bhp + ya it will cost more but if i were to go TT id want to go single so id be buying a TT conversion then convert to a single now that will cost even more than the NA-T. I just prefer having one turbo than two Not too interested in the big bhp, you never know what condition or the history of the TT engine +turbos after a year might need a new set or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 If you are not looking for big BHP then a TT lump will be the best solution by far, you can BPU this at some point and away you go Single turbo set up for 350 BHP is pointless and expensive, have you driven a Supra TT ?

Supragaz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yeah I would advise going from an N/A to a TT. I did and the difference is amazing. Then when you want a little more power down the line you can go Bpu then Single etc in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dannyboy107 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I havent driven one no but ive been in one though, wasnt that impressed with the stock performance still alot better than the NA ofcourse. Im not saying im aiming for 350 saying anything above that ill be more than happy with it, Cost wise it will be more expensive doing single but id rather say spend 4k tops and do a single then spend 2.5k on a TT and then down the line BPU and i no i will want to go single all in all id spend more than 4k, i get addicted once i no i can upgrade something i have to do it.......going NA-T you sorta have a limit once you've got your 400hp your at your peak unless you really wanna go silly and upgrade everything and make more power...well then you might as well gone down the TT route..... suppose like marc_p you get the kick of the single turbo and sound just prefer the single turbo set up than the twins. But my minds not set yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I would sell the car and buy a TT. With prices what they are at the moment, 4K plus a couple for yours would get you a TT. That way you know (not "no") it's not been dicked with and will probably be less of a pain in the arse than any conversion, It would probably be worth more when you go to sell it also. But, if you want a single turbo, just for the sake of having a single turbo, then NA-T is going to be the cheaper option obviously. Don't know if a NA-T conversion can be done properly for 4K. Seems amazingly cheap when a similar conversion on the TT is going to cost circa 10K, but then I don't know much at all about NA motors.

Guest dannyboy107 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ok after much searching and thinking pretty much what i do all day at work, ive decided to go TT risk putting a unkown engine block in and well hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
