Axl Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 was that a vvti or non-vvti 1j? Mine is a non vvti full rebuild with hybrid turbos Drivetrain is a R154 with an A02B diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTRD_MK4 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Was wondering if any turbo owners were responding on this topic or not. All I can say is, if you bought a turbo supra, you bought it for that reason. Not cause we bother bout the fuel consumption. Any fast high powered car drinks fuel. If you complain whilst owning one (not that people really are and if you are, pardon me as I meant no harm) then you no different than people asking to modify their engine to gain more power but still want fuel economy. Drive a diesel in that case or a 1 litre Yaris/Vitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-tt Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Na is the way to go you can pimp about in a supra for 2 grand wheres the down side Just like my BMW that I bought last year with my xmas bonus nobody needs to know it was only £150 still looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The point is though a BPU TT can be as good on fuel as an NA, a fact i loved about my TT's was i could drive sensibly and return 25 + mpg, on one run out in europe i got that figure up to 30mpg which i consider pretty good. Then if i wanted to i had 400 hp to go play with, so imo the best of both worlds. The only advantage i see that the NA has is that it has far less to go wrong so i totally get that and if your happy with 200hp then thats totally fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I love my NA5, but even with the 4.27 1.5 way diff it feels slow now. Ever since I put coilovers on it and changed the diff, the level of grip and ride quality makes it feel slow even when you're not going slowly. It's almost identical in speed to my IS250.

mplavery Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 So that's settled then were all agreed NA's are rubbish only joking not really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Won't be rubbish when it's a 4.3 litre NA... Still a nice car though, drives well for something of its age and I love being out and about in it; the looks alone are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlover Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Mines an N/A - albeit a 4.0l 1uz so I feel I can join in here I also owned a 3.0l N/A and as said in previous thread somewhere on here, they are good fun! I couldn't give a rats a55 what anyone thinks of what I drive.... people might take the mick and pretend to hate but in most cases it's just jealousy. I was driving the car home from work the other day and going through a small town centre - the noise was naturally louder with buildings each side and noise bouncing..... I won't lie it sounded great! I was in 1st gear going about 5mph when someone from a group of youths shouted "your cars sh1t!" As for fuel costs..... it's not good haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brassbones Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) So that's settled then we're all agreed It's worth £10,000 to swap a 2JZ-GE engine for a 2JZ-GTE engine only joking no really!!!!

Suprakeith Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Makes more sense to spending the £10k on forging the na block and have monster build than buying stock tt [emoji4], that’s what I in middle of doing [emoji106] Also when I was using my na with the Nos system she beat quite a few bpu tt’s and only cost £2.5k for the system, they didn’t like getting beaten by 5 speed na [emoji23].

BPU tt should easily run 13 sec quarters but will really depend on the driver the tt also wont run out of N20 what would you get out of your bottle 3 mins maybe on constant use Edited September 23, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sorry but how did this thread turn into a mpg discussion. It's a supra who gives a damn. If you want mpg go by an old 3 or 5 series diesel remap and your at well above na power for two thirds of the price. When I get in the supra it drinks what it drinks. Even when times were very hard a few years back I just stopped using it, and only drove it a few times, but when I did I still enjoyed it to its full.

Dnk Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Its just part of the discussion, some NA owners were saying how a tt drinks fuel which in reality isn't true hence i wished to correct that part of the discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with my bottle I would say more than 5mins constant use as my system isn’t the normal off shelf one. I only needed 2-3 hits of nos to beat um as was at top speed by then.

jonc Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 No hate from this call sign. My first Sup was an NA then I moved onto a tt. If you have a Sup in any guise then its good in my eyes (maybe not a chav mobile which has been poorly modded:rolleyes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 And where did that £10k figure come from?! I have a TT6 but personally I'd rather have a TT auto than an n/a5. The price difference between those 2 seems to be closing. £3-5k is probably more realistic due to the increase in price of n/as lately.

There's not a massive performance difference between my 320D daily and my NA, but I'm sure as hell that one of em is a lot more enjoyable to drive!!! And, oddly, I don't get strangers asking me questions about the 320D or slowing down / speeding up to get pictures of it on the motorway, or thumbs upping me etc etc. Fair play if you're taking your TT on track days or beasting it round the Nurburgring, but I'm damned if I'm paying 3x the price for a relatively modest power boost just so I can beat a scroat at the lights outside Tesco! Plus you will still get roasted on the motorway by a host of random grey snotbox's. Having said all of that, if I had money to burn I would be driving a mint stock TT6 ... in black obviously!
