ShawnPreece Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just thinking about possible future mods to the supra to gain more power (currently running standard setup just bpu and minor mods) and was wondering a rough estimate on how much it would cost for a HKS twin turbo setup like the one below? It wouldn't happen for a little while yet but just wondering if it would be a possibility in my future plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I wouldn't, it's not a good setup IMHO, most on here that will say they are good but have never driven one, they are laggy as hell, you make next to no boost in first gear, far better setups out there.

Justin Bieber Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 5k for the kit, 2-3k for the ecu, 3k for the 6speed box and diff, and then labour to fit it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh right I have never driven one with this setup but was assuming that although it wouldn't be as powerful it would be less laggy than the single turbo route, are the turbo's the same size then or is it still one bigger than the other just like a bigger version of the original setup? 5k for the kit, 2-3k for the ecu, 3k for the 6speed box and diff, and then labour to fit it all. Thanks that was what I was after the ECU is more expensive than I was expecting, was thinking that would be only just over the grand mark but hadn't looked into it as didn't know which one is most suited for this setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) They are not sequential like the stock setup, they make plenty of power but as I say, very laggy. Edited October 24, 2014 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just go small single, the most fun I've ever had in a supra is when I ran a T67DBB on a stock block. These cars are a bit of an addiction you keep going, going, going till you have so much power it's ridiculous, but you then cant simply jump in and thrash about. Small single turbo, stock block, fun forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks that was what I was after the ECU is more expensive than I was expecting, was thinking that would be only just over the grand mark but hadn't looked into it as didn't know which one is most suited for this setup I think the turbo kit is also much more expensive than that. The T04Z kit is well over £5k now, so I reckon it'll be nearer £7k for a twin kit. A Syvecs will cost well over £2k fitted and mapped. The minor gains associated with some twin kits just isn't worth the added expense and complication IMO, a high quality single kit is the way to go.

Ric Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The T04Z kit is well over £5k now You can get the T04z kit for £3500 from RHDjapan, even with shipping and possible taxes don't think its 5600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 i sold the same kit a few mths back... nice bit of kit to have but not great to drive compared to a lot of newer single turbo kits which spool up a lot quicker... we sold a used kit for £2500. Also your 5 speed box wouldnt last long with much more than what you have now...... you would need to go 6 speed tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The S362 Bw single i had was far more responsive and much better to drive than the HKS twins "around streets" on the motorway the big twins were savage! cant disagree with the "laggy" comments as they are so definately a nice stroked engine and lairy cams would be on the cards if anyone is planning a twin build. Also working on twins is a drama no matter what you do! slightest of exhaust blows meant engine out job pita Big twins looks knockout! and being involved in shows i always had the upper hand when the bonnet was lifted. no one cares if you got a big turbo! people want to see 2 of them! simple as that. my advise would be get a decent single turbo street setup! keep things basic... much more fun and slightly better on the wallet, members over complicate the builds they do.

drift_bear Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm currently away to undertake the big HKS twins build, but im also adding a 3.4 stroker kit to help with the lag side of things. I've always preffered the look of big twins over a big single, but its just personal prefference really. IF you have a look at some build threads, it might help you out.

ShawnPreece Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah I can see the advantages and disadvanges with both, it's still only future plans as v160 gearbox is the next item on my list so will look think abit more into the turbo setup options, thanks for all your advice though it's nice to get the feedback off people who have had this setup and know about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
