Lbm Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Why not just buy a TT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 sell it and buy a TT or if you have 3-4k spare and can find a 6 speed then do a swap. You could keep the 5 speed from the na, but the 5speed will not take the torque of anything more than about 400bhp with BPU mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisito-awo Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Why not just buy a TT? because i already have it and it is an export mkiv and where i live i cant find an export mkiv for a good price. so thats why i would like to do an engine swap. like this i wanted to order an japanese supra rz and swap the engines and the gearboxes and then sell the japanese supra with the n/a engine in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 whats the point buying another car and swapping the engine and geerboxes over? Your just de-valuing both cars. Just buy the bits you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tayousei Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I agree with the fact you're devaluing both cars by swapping motors... I you compared an imported JDM supra with mismatched motor, tranny, seats, etc with a domestic market supra in original condition with all matched parts, guess which one is worth way more? Anyway, why not just import the engine if you want to do that instead of trying to buy it, swap and sell the JDM one turboless... You'd be taking a hit in the wallet either way.. I'd say if you want to maintain your car's value, and waste less time/effort, just upgrade your N/A to turbo with a kit (unless you could just find a turbo supra for a decent price to begin with).

A kit is £3000 minimum without mapping and labour and all the other countless extras. itll be the cost of another car by the time its properly done. A TT transplant will only cost £3000 or so and at the end of the day be more reliable than a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, putting a single turbo on an NA engine is nowhere near such a "known quantity" as running a 2JZGTE engine. IMO NA-T is OK if you really really like tinkering with engines, but if you just want a car that just works, I'd recommend the stock TT every time.
