Guest George89 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi i was looking at this site and i am finding some manifolds, turbos and stuff for quite cheap. Would it be worth to buy some of this and turbo my NA supra and get abour 100bhp extra and then in future i will just slowly upgrade everything first intercooler then turbo etc. http://www.xs-power.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25 They prices are really cheap compare to the rest i have been finding manifolds over a gran and turbos over a gran etc. I just want a basic turbo really and probaly 2JZ-GTE pistons for lower compression and thicker headgasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Stay away from XSpower, do a search and you will see why... They are cheap for a VERY good reason, it is crap stuff on the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If you buy XSFlower, then you will be buying everything twice, believe me........ Time to make full use of that search button chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George89 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 ok thanks for letting me know, but is their any decent sites i can find manifolds and turbos for not too expensive? i don't want redicolous performance to begin with. maybe about 100 bhp gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, XS power is utter garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George89 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What about used manifold and twin turbos from the GTE engine and the pistons, headgasket etc? i know it wont perform like the GTE but would that be worth considering?

The NA and TT manifolds aren't the same as the exhaust ports are slightly different, which means you are SOOL (....out of luck) with using a TT manifold. The NA-T option really isn't the most economical or easiest way of doing things, that said it isn't an impossible task either but not one I'd take on lightly unless you are prepared for the pitfalls. The easiest option is the TT lump change (as has been covered lots of times before). Do a search for NA-TT... *must be going soft in my age* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George89 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 As i see to be honest my best bet is just a GTE engine conversion. Rather then going through the hussle of a NA-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
