bambisdad Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Guys As a newcomer and still searching for my dream Supra, please may I ask for opinions on which would be the better choice between a regular TT or a single turbo conversion. Many Thanks Bambisdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Jumping right into a single turbo would be a mistake tbh What kind of car do you want. What other cars have you owned? Rough guide... Na supra 200bhp - not much to mod very fire gains to be made Single Turbo kit on na 300-450 bhp ish Twin turbo supra 320-400bhp - lots of modding potential for good money. Single turbo kit on Twin turbo 500-1000+ bhp - lots of money to be spent doing it properly Edited January 4, 2012 by Guigsy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambisdad Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Does a single turbo produce more BHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You can't compare a regular TT and a single turbo conversion. A regular TT has no upgrades, where as a single conversion will be twice as powerful if not a bit more. It's all about power delivery, and what you want. The gradual increase of each turbo in sequence, or the single boost increase from one turbo. Though you can modify the twin turbo system to enable both turbos to kick in at the same time. Seriously big power and fast 1/4 runs have been acheived with both options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Does a single turbo produce more BHP? Depends on appliaction. A big single turbo would produce more than stock twins, but big twins could produce more than a single. It's all down to each individual set up.

Guigsy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Depends on appliaction. A big single turbo would produce more than stock twins, but big twins could produce more than a single. It's all down to each individual set up. Could but not always. Jamie's single is more powerful than Lee's big twins. Though not much lol. It's about the delivery. Anyway let's not confuse the poor chap with stock twins and big twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 How about odd twins and un-related twins lol bambisdad, hit the search button, check out build threads and decide how you want your power, and what power you want. Sor-ted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambisdad Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Great advice. Thanks very much. I think the car for me is a TT unmolested UK example if possible. Looking for a long term love affair with a Japanese beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Great advice. Thanks very much. I think the car for me is a TT unmolested UK example if possible.

Nic Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Great advice. Thanks very much. I think the car for me is a TT unmolested UK example if possible. Looking for a long term love affair with a Japanese beauty There were only 600+ UK Supra sold, most of them autos, so you may be waiting a long time to find the right one.

Swampy442 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 But they've got those ugly lumps that stick out the front of the engine that make it all look really untidy.

Josh Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) There were only 600+ UK Supra sold, most of them autos, so you may be waiting a long time to find the right one. What cars have you owned before? Make sure you don't end up buying a 600+bhp beast and spin it all the time.

mellonman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 gotta love the small fast spool single turbo, but each single turbo is different and spool is affected, lots of different numbers and turbos out there you could end up with a rubish car if wrong turbo is fitted, stick with tt bpu = sweet car all round,and go straight to single when the turbos are shot or replace with stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle, lag, boost, face pulled off. PERFECT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My gt35r is just about right. A second or so of lag is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I wouldn't change me GT42R for the world. I suppose it's all down to personal preference really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
