Default Came across this
I was just wondering if any of these would fit the GS400? Anyone know?

Not without a custom exhaust manifold. Then you'll need injectors, downpipe, Wastegate, Intercooler, map sensor, metal head gasket, etc..

SRT offers a TT kit for something in the neighbourhood of 30k.

The full SRT TT kit includes a LOT more than just the core TT stuff for that money though. If you already have some of the stuff (coilovers for example) you can pull it from the cost.

I'm not sure.
A whole bunch of stuff. I think it is best to contact SRT for the whole list or one of the members on here that have the TT conversion done.

30K is a little pricey, but to be expected.

30K ? You can get a supra for it and it runs 10 second. I'd like to know what come with the kit. I know it's not easy to do tt.

JPI: Your right, for 30K i'd have to sell my car to buy the TT but then i'd have nothing to put it on. For a price like that, i'd rather wait for SRT Stage3 or 4 supercharger to come back.

Who has the kit on here? I'd like to see some dyno numbers backing up that 30k.

I think a search on srt and/or twin turbo will give you loads of info.

$30,000 seems way out there. I can make the manifolds, turbos, FMIC and piping for less than $8,000. Figure another $3000 for standalone engine management, injectors and pump and voila, turbo kit.

Guru,

So for an estimated 11,000, you could do a TT setup? What kind of numbers would you expect it to produce?

supras aren't very fast stock.(high 13's) they're boats. it's just the 2jz that can produce and hold so much power...
