dibbleyuk Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 N/A's are shit etc. and the point of that is! some of us cant afford TT running costs etc and some of use are sensible and start with the NA to get used to that type of vehicle. thanks back to the topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 When i had mine dynoed it was 192BHP so out came that engine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 If you bothered reading Sonic's sig you'll find he's got an NA as well, and was merely pre-empting the usual crap from blinkered TT owners by using irony.

sdavies Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The reason a lot of NA's are *likely* to be off spec BHP wise with factory figures is due to age and lack of "proper" servicing. Same can happen with any car as it gets older People in the UK don't spend as much time and attention on "tuning" their NA's (unless you count NA-T lot, or NOS enthusiasts) and are not so acutely aware of a few horses here or there - I blame the "Buy a TT don't bother with the NA tuning" mantra Will get my NA dyno posted before and after conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I never dynoed my NA, but i will do it soon after my NA-T installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 and the point of that is! some of us cant afford TT running costs etc and some of use are sensible and start with the NA to get used to that type of vehicle. thanks back to the topic I can afford both, but daily driver etc, wanted the newest one I could find, an went with an N/A - although the constant mantra of 'some' quarters of this site is that TT's are ace (even though they seem a tad less reliable than our N/As) and N/A's are shit... I was saying to my other half last night, this board has (for all the laughs etc. I've had from it, and make no mistake I enjoy being a member) spoilt Supra ownership a bit for me, being that every time this comes up the usual suspects come out the wood work to tell us we don't drive 'proper' cars... I just find the whole subject kind of tiresome to be honest... anyway sorry to hijack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you. at the end of the day we are all here cos we love supras be that NA or TT (and lets not forget u single turbos!! ;o) ) Thats enough of that anyway!

iain2010 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thats really bad mate sounds like you have the right idea thou I think mine was low due to high milage and poor servicing. But that is after a full exhaust system, decat and induction kit! I dread to think what it would have been standard!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my NA and am impressed when i drive it personaly couldnt afford to buy a TT insurance wasnt a problem or running cost it was buying the thing would of been another 3-4k on top for a nice manual.

TrickTT Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Max Headroom dyno'd his n/a at the japworcs rolling road meet last year. I think he posted his graph on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 My N/A is better than all turbo's on here due to the large amount of bullshit that is pumped into the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Max Headroom dyno'd his n/a at the japworcs rolling road meet last year. I think he posted his graph on here. Yes I did and came out at a respectable 220bhp at the fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 221Bhp IIRC, it was a good 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I had my NA dynoed.. 216BHP. With 2nd Decat, NurSpec, K&N Panel filter, IK24s, Walbro pump.. Fully serviced etc... Gonna bin it for a VVTI TT lump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee S Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It doesnt matter which you have, but a kill in a N/A tastes much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm going getting my 96 Facelift NA manual next week and although it has 78k on the clock (if correct) I am not really bothered about having anything more powerful. Did look at a couple of TT's in my price range but they were a bit ropey. Also the thought of turbo failure does not sound attactive tbh. I mean how fast can you drive on public roads these days anyway?? I have a job where I must drive and so losing my licence is always at the front of my mind. I'm not sure if i'll get mine dyno'd when I get it. If it feels quick on the test drive I'll buy it and be happy.!! I'll just look good no matter whats under the bonnet!! H.
