Smoke_U Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hi. I´m selling my Auto supra for a 6spd. sigel project. Looking for 500+bhp. So, I am wondering witch engine would be cheaper to build of? NA-singel or TwinTurbo-singel? I´m guessing the NA is a cheaper car to buy but i don´t know if the engine bloc and internals will cope with the new power. Please shed some light on this. Thank you!

b_have Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 NA manual 5 speed won't take that sort of power, far stronger to use a TT6 for the base car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 TT to single would be the better option but which route you do decide will still cost alot of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The N/A block does NOT have the piston oil squirters to cool the crown, which do help quite a lot, especially with the stock hollow crown pistons. Quite how much they help with none stoc forged pistons one can only guess, as these do NOT have the hollow crown for oil cooling. The crank and rods are the same, but the head hsa different ports and exhaust manifold bolt patterns, limiting manifold choice for a single turbo. Given a good budget, which any single build needs, I's say build on a TT and get the TT engine, Getrag TT six speed gearbox, big diff and correct propshaft and driveshafts, bigger rad, and ABS all in one package.

Luxluc Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I would say the (often) simplest and cheapest solution is to buy a nice modded single straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Many would say if youre looking to go single cheaply then maybe you shouldnt go single at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Exactly that. I also wish some UK members' English was as good as his English. Strangely it's gotten better since the riots started. I wonder why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 A single build NA-T will typically give the same power as a purchased BPU 6 speed. NA-T is such a pain in the bum, and to get 400bhp you have to spend in excess buying a TT6 with all the installing, transmission upgrades and extra's which you `should` do but not everyone does. If you want to do it `properly` you should save and get a TT as this will be the `cheapest` option in the long run, reliability being a main contender! There's only one reason to go NA-T over TT to begin with, and that is that you already own an NA. if you havent purchased and don't want to part with your car (like most NA-T owners started out), SAVE!

Nic Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Far better to start with a twin turbo 2JZ-GTE engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
