Nic Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm just weighing up my options at the moment, could do without my car being off the road for too long and the expense right now. It'll depend which turbo has gone, I have a spare 2nd hand stock 1st turbo here, which would be the simplest/cheapest option at the moment. I'll find out the verdict tomorrow when the turbos are pulled off. I'm also looking at the option of going with a Garrett single and HKS set up, I have most of the supporting parts already, just need to work out what else I'll need. So if anyone wants to sponsor the Nic single fund, please start sending some orders my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yes officer, thats what i meant I meant "nooooo etc" to Nic's turbo blowing, not your (admirable) suggestion of a hooj turbo I've got a 272 intake cam if you need it, Nic -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've got a 272 intake cam if you need it, Nic They are the super fast spoolin 272 cams arent they? Buy it while you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 The verdict is in, BOTH exhaust turbines have disintegrated So it's either 2 new stock turbos or single kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Thats sucks mate....how about hybrids?? have you considered rebuilt stockers? Nowhere I know of here does rebuilt turbos, I could probably get them done in Japan, but the price would be expensive. Anyone want to buy a 6spd NA Supra?

Ian C Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I'm sure there are a couple of stocker sets knocking around over here if you have trouble sourcing them there? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to buy a 6spd NA Supra? Surely your half way towards a single anyway are'nt you?? only problem is you would'nt have Ian C to map your E-manage, unless you know someone over there who is good with it? you would surely only need the kit and an ECU no?? oh and injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
