mathew Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 may sound like a stupid idea, may not but what sorta costs would i be looking at transplanting an engine rather than getting my N/A turbo'd? would a soarer tt engine fit? and i know this has been covered a million times but what sorta cost would i be looking at at having mine turbo'd with no fancy extras just the bare minimum for what is needed? i dont really wana get rid of mine but.... .........................i need more power!!!!!!

Steviekid Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think it would be far more cost effective to sell your car and buy a TT considering how cheap they seem to be at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 ah but as the TT's are cheap so are the NA's meaning you still need 2000+ to get a TT of any value. NA-T's are around 2500-3000 and with the starting point of a single sup its almost a better option. I think you can get a 2JZ GTE engine for around 500-2000 depending on if it has ecu, loom, turbos etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 when you say na-t's are around 2500-3000 do you mean the conversion. how well do na-t's sell if the time was ever to come? as i dont think ive ever seen one for sale:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Matt, sell yours buy mine Gixer wants one... He has £5.5K in his pocket That means only 2K more for my car!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If an NA-T is maxed out it could be just as quick as a single sup so I would expect anything from TT prices up to single prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If i were you i'd consider selling and buying a TT. If you love your car too much to sell then the NA-T route is also very good. Speak with GazGSI as he's done the NA-T conversion and is loving it.
