Supra non turbo

Hi guys, did a track day the other day was great fun but being a automatic did lack a bit of speed coming out of becketts,

 

Would it be worth putting in a manual gearbox and is it worth it and does any know the cost and where to start looking for one? Is there anything else I could do.

 

Cheers Clare

I would say for track work with an na yes it would be worth, unfortunately manual gearboxes seem to be becoming rarer, w58's should be available but some are from other cars so the shifter won't line up, others may have had a hard life in a higher than na powered car, all will be far more expensive than a few years back, maybe £500-£800?

Depends on your gearbox choice. What are your future plans for the car? If you're planning on going turbo eventually, a W58 would be a bad choice (for example).

So I be told can’t put a turbo on a non turbo engine, would be better buying a engine with a turbo already, just going to do maybe couple more track days next year and hopefully respray her.

 

Not true, but its a better, cheaper base option to get a twin turbo engine. NA/T is expensive if done properly
