Message And alot less work plus resale on a TT is higher than a conversion plus less things to go wrong.

: Not a Z question, I know, I know... but Supraforums is down.... I need all the info I can get!

: Here's the specs:
: 1994 Supra
: 46k miles
: N/A, Auto

: Ok, ok.. It's an NA Auto which should instantly disqualify it. However, get this: the asking price is $13,800 (I can get it down to $13,000)

: My first question then is, what will it cost to install a twin turbo setup in an N/A Supra? Minimum and maximum cost, if anyone knows. (Including everything, such as changing the compression ration of the engine, etc. ... Not simply popping in turbos, is what I understand.)

: My second question is this:
: Is a conversion to 6 spd possible from an automatic? If it is, is it reasonably priced, or would it be stupid because of how expensive that would be. We're talking about putting in a 6 spd getrag or upgraded transmission, and a clutch... etc. ...

: My final question is:
: What about brakes? The N/A Supras did not have the world class brakes (some of the best brakes on any car ever) that the TT Supra had. What is the cost of upgrading the brakes on the N/A Supra?

: Basically, I'm saving about 8 - 10 thousand dollars off the price of any other Supra I would get with this car.
: For 8-10 thousand dollars, can I do a turbo conversion? I think the answer is yes. But within this price, can I put in real brakes and (maybe) 6 spd transmission? If the answer is no, I would pass this Supra up definetely.

: If I have an N/A Supra upgraded to turbo, and six speed, and brakes, would it be the same quality as a TT Supra? Or are there other details on the TT Supras that were not given to the N/A???

: Remember, I'm only considering this because of $13k price. It had damage on the front left area but very well repaired. It drove very nice.

: I appreciate any advice on this. Thanks!!
