skyline1 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Ok im sure its been asked before i really want to know what will be needed and a price guide on the full conversion. list of all the parts needed and rough prices. i havnt got a supra (yet) as still rolling in the skyline untill its sold. just seems most of the good supra's that come up for sale are Auto's and i dont really want a auto, im old school and its got to be manual unless its cost efficient to buy a auto. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If its a 6 speed conversion you are after you are going to be looking in the region of 3k plus labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 how about for a 5 speed manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 £500-700 notes plus fitting but the W58 will not stand TT power for a long time especially if you intend to tune to bpu, single etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would wait for the right 6 speed to come along, they are not that rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yep just save and wait intill a good 6 speed comes up. It wi be cheaper and easier in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I could take you out in my auto TT if you haven't been in one (as I'm local), I was very surprised with how good the autobox was when I drove one for the first time If not, I've attached the list I found of what is needed 6 Speed Conversion Part List.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you want to build the power levels you are better off getting a 6 speed, the Auto box is a fantastic drive, its also effortless in traffic, I would never have anything else for my daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline1 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 ideally i want about 500bhp so can a 5 speed box take that power? im open minded as of yet, from what i can gather the BPU is the one to go for with a good twin or single set up. anyone correct me?

BPU is on stock twins mate, not a single tubby, if you click on http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?94705-BPU-(Basic-Performance-Upgrade) it will give you all the info you need for BPU.

Just read that, will point out that with the right supporting mods the autobox can take that power, have a look at Rob's (mitchell9006) build as he is running the stock autobox and is wanting 550 with 2 coolers I think.
