Hi ,

 

Is there any one can confirm that the bolt pattern are the same between jap spec and Uk spec turbos to manifold?

,I know that the turbo cartridge are different,

I’m planning to rebuild my jap spec turbos so I have a spare Uk spec turbo without manifold ,

I just wanted to make sure the bolts pattern are the same or I should get the Uk spec manifold and etc

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks

No worries, I must ask, what are you planning to do? Hybrids? If that is the case, J-specs make better hybrids than UK specs.

 

Well I’m planning to rebuild my jap turbos and find some to rebuild them to hybrids but I thought I but the uk spec turbos on my car to use it but unfortunately I don’t have the full kit to do that ,

Is it worse to go hybrids or it’s just waste of money as I heard they don’t last that long

Rebuilt OEM and hybrid can be reliable as long at they aren't subjected to abuse. Things like bouncing off the rev limiter, anti-lag and 2-step.

 

Rebuilding using stock sizes would enable you to increase boost slightly so you would gain a little more power. Going hybrid, as in re-working the OEM turbo to take larger internals from the "disco potato" (2860) or 3071 will give you power but terrible lag and an awful drop in torque and power when turbo 2 two comes on line. Having looked at the various printouts it looks like a terrible conversion.

 

If you want bang for buck and a quick spooling 500hp supra then a cast manifold and small single is the recipe.

 

There was a similar conversation going on recently, this thread might give you a few options - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?355254-Hybrid-highflow-twin-turbos-VS-small-single-turbo-setup
