Non-turbo or TWIN TURBO - what's better?

01-25-2005, 01:02 AM

Oh I just took a look at the first reply and if I may suggest: don't listen to him! Well, he's got some truth but saying that going from N/A to turbo is no more work than changing your stock turbos is NOT TRUE.

The non-turbo supra engine is not at all like the turbo one so if you want to convert it to a turbo one you have to change MANY things. Keep in mind that the N/A is set to use air at the atmospheric pressure. If you cram in compressed air from a turbo, you have to change a lot of parts to get the right compression ratio for an example. And that's only one of the many things.

I've already seen such a thing (N/A to turbo) but it's even more expensive than buying a turbo supra engine in the first place.

If you chose to get a supra, get the turbo one. The supra is well know for it's remarkably strong engine that can handle 800+hp on STOCK internals. Also keep in mind that it's only a 3.0L engine so without forced induction (turbo) you can't except to get THAT much power.

Turbo all the way.
