Hi guys, i know i have been quite on here but only because i have been waiting till my old project was sold till i could buy my first supra :p

 

As you may have guessed now is that time :) but my dilema atm is finding a single turbo conversion on a manual and in budget. I have found two single turbo conversions but both in auto. My question is who does conversions to manuals withing my area of buckinghamshire/berkshire? Also how much should i expect?

 

I am capable of doing it myself aswell so prices on parts alone would also be helpfully but i am a bit lazier these days since im up at 6am and work till 7-8pm at times :/

But also peace of mind that someone who has done it many times before is good haha.

 

Any advice would be good other than keep the auto box haha its just i prefer the feel of a manual not a gokart ;)

 

Thanks in advance

Alan

the conversion parts alone for a six speed box and associated bits range from around 2.8k to 3.8k depending on milage

 

I'll have a full conversion for sale shortly with a bit of luck (please dont bombared with pm's)

 

Please keep me posted mate or let me know roughly when to nag you lol. Are you including fitting :p haha

 

You could fit an R154 from a Soarer straight in (pretty much) or one from a mk3 Supra with a bit of adaption, its all been covered here thoroughly, if you are pushing over 400bhp and torque I would avoid a w58.

 

Im all ears mate and yeah i would be hoping to someday push for 500/600 but not anytime soon i would of thought due to budget.

 

If you added 4k to the budget, would you not be able to find a Single'd 6-speed?

 

I wish i could mate i have looked at that option but im stretching even with my current budget.

The Soarer/Supra r154 can take about 750 BHP and torque on average depending on condition etc. They are getting rare though, try driftworks for them they pop up there every now and then. Its all about in the search button mate, its been done a few times. Some of the traders would be able to help out too with their knowledge. Good luck!
