Ian W Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 personally i've been thinking about looking at a supercharger conversion onto the 2JZ-GE engine? apparently jagman is attempting it on a Single turbo'd car so i'll wait and see how he gets on.... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 ENVY do a NA-T Kit for around 4k but you still need a mechanic to fit it all and thats gon'a cost shit loads. Most say giveup and buy a TT. I'm also looking into NA-T kits or supercharger installs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking into NA-T kits or supercharger installs. i finally found one of dangerousbrains attemp:cry: sounds a hell of alot harder than doing a normal car unless the tt equipment was in good condition instead of being damaged, the chances are i probly will just buy a tt but am just having a crazy brain wave at the min lol:rtfm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Theoretically though, a supercharger SHOULD be a simpler job....once it's been done once they're easier to fit than a turbo conversion are they not?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Mate just buy a TT [you know you want to] If you buy an NA for £4k, then spend £4k [atleast] on a turbo conversion. You are looking at about £8k You can buy TT's from £6k upwards nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 (did i really just agree with Sabrina?! ) TT's are pretty cheap these days, AttilaUKs just put his UKTT up for sale for £6.5k which is a crazy price. Would cost a lot more to buy an NA and put the TT lump in. Lad on here has just done that - see Adi2009 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=36858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 yeah, level 1 Just to add too, insurance on an NA isn't any cheaper than a TT really either. A UK TT's advantage is that it will get cheaper insurance than a j-spec NA so if you're tight on pennies, a UK car might be an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Search up some more of my posts. You'll find the part where I did a full investigation of supercharging an NA supe. To bring it to conclusion if money is the object then forget it as developing a kit with the design of supercharger mounting brackets getting them manufactured etc etc. Then there is the costs involved of buying a supercharger a compatable cooler as well. Basically I came up with a £4k a kit cost if I managed to sell 10 or more kits and I'd have to have put all the money in myself upfront otherwise as a one off it was pricing up in the region of £7k just to get the 320BHP that you get from a stock TT. Then you have to pay insurance for a car with 50% more power than stock (which when you consider that N/A insurance and TT insurance is pretty much of a muchness is a cheek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 thanks DB!! looks like it may be a TT i'm after after all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, it's only the internet:cool: truthfully i dont no were i found so many big words dont worry its all good and u are rite about the search function:respekt: ive heard about the insurance thing about a n/a or a tt, ive also noticed there is a twin turbo red one on the auto trader site for 4000 or 4500 :eek: if i had the celica sold i would have been away to buy it hehe, it was just an idea that sprung into mind about doing a conversion but ur all rite i added up the parts, labour and so on and i would be best just buying a tt straight away, its just annoying that i have to wait a wee bit longer:unfair: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
