Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 That's just someone who has ordered the SSautochrome setup from ebay.com for about £250 les than the price he's selling it for - probably just trying to make a few quid. Think someone on Supraforums is trying all of this lot minus the tubbie itself, big thread over on the supraforums site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 A couple of people here have bought that kit and I know someone has one installed but with a different turbo. I think the T4 turbo is a lag monster (1.04 a/r according to the ad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yeah, it is an SSautochrome kit.. Value for money it isn't a bad kit, provided you don't want stupid levels of power... I have however used a different turbo to the one he has in the kit... I used a lot of the autochrome stuff on my conversion and most of it seems to be up to the job...

magicmatty Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 someone who has ordered the SSautochrome setup from ebay.com for about £250 les than the price he's selling it for/QUOTE] How much are they available from then...(I had never heard of supra forums until just now ) Are these kits worth considering then??? I thought to turn my NA turbo'd would cost a small fortune.....Much of a power increase??? I'm very interested now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The manifold is no good for the NA-T, the heads are different between the NA and TT, I bought a manifold in order to test it and it is WAY out.. that doesn't however mean you couldn't modify the header...

As said by gav, the heads are different, as is the compression ratio, so you will have to do some other things. I also wouldn't run with the turbo that they supply, I have no problems with using the manifold, but I would get another tubbie and wastegate.

Terminator Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 just out of interest why would you change the Turbo and W-gate??On other forums with experince of their kits have found these parts to be the weak point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
