Budget? HP goals?

 

Hey matey I have money to play with, 2000 max really(but have more just don't want it costing a bomb!

Goals...I just fancy more hp nothing major just a nice increase with good gains nothing monsterous unlike some on here haha

What ever gives me best results for reasonable money spent lol

(hope this helps)

A decent NA-T conversion will cost a little more than that if you go for best parts possible (recommended)

I think the going rate for a good NA-T is around £3k-£4k mate.

There are plenty of threads reference NA-T conversions on here mate. Do a search and they will come up :)

AFAIK there is only one thread reference supercharging a Supra, its called "project supracharger".

Hi bud, I would say stay with the twins and maybe upgrade to BPU good for 450bhp and be happy. You can easily spend £10,000+ getting to 600bhp and even then it may not be reliable.

 

Its an NA mate. A TT conversion will cost around the same anyway. BPU will get you around 380-400bhp without an aftermarket ecu, which is more money again.

With a NA-T, with the right bits, you can get around the same power as BPU. I think Noz hit around 380bhp on his first dyno NA-T, and that was with a few hiccups.

Yh o read that thread the supercharged build looks awesome, I have funds there I just didn't realise how much it could cost worst ways,

I've been looking into kits for turbo conversion but can't find kits as such for it tho

As I'm only 20 nearly 21 got full no claims since 17 I just wanted to increase the potential of this supra :)

Cheers

There are no SC kits off the shelf and all attempts have yet to be run as a daily driver, with only £2k to play with I wouldn't look at turbos either, save some more and get a TT or spend the money on a nice exhaust, manifold, decent disks and pads and give it a full service ;)

The option of selling and getting a TT would probably be the cheapest power gain tbh. You can pick up a nice TT auto for around £4k-£5.5k mate

Once you add turbos or SC to your NA the insurance will prob be higher than a stock TT :search:
