Being a factory turbo, turbo reliability is a plus for TTE compared to other turbo kits available. The fact that custom chassis mod has been offered for this kit suggests that Toyota has paid adequate attention in making this kit as reliable and safe as possible.

Deciding upon 200bhp on this kit is probably a decision Toyota has made based on the tolerance level of the stock 1ZZ-FE engine. Thus, one can enjoy factory turbo without worrying any reliability issues with stock internals. I would not change anything of the turbo if I get it as I don't wish to upset the performance balance Toyota has strived for this kit.

If there's anyone who wishes to get a bigger injector, or up his boost, he/she is better off getting some other turbo kit in the market. The fact that TTE turbo runs at a premium probably suggests the amount of time and R&D it has spent to make this turbo as reliable as possible. So why ruin it? I know I won't. 200bhp is more than enough for our nimble 2.

I do have a question though. Does TTE offer this kit alone to overseas customers (just kit and not including installation etc)? If they do, I will most likely go for this, as I have 100% confidence it will offer the utmost bolt-on reliability compared to other aftermarket turbo kits.

The official kit comes with a power output of 185BHP not 200 I believe s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

And made due to regulations and not because of anything to do with the engine?

Tough decission

I have a BRS widebody, custom wheels, a Remus exhaust wich is the TTE, TRD header and AEM Cold air intake.

My question is if they'll install the turbo with all this mods, if they do will they use any of this parts?

Hi Juan,

Can not resist turbocharging??? s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Got the Monkeywrench pieces to turn into 1.93 cc , Wiseco Pistons, sleeves, Crower cams, Valves, springs, retainers but...........can't find any decent shop in Asturias to make that conversion.

I have all the pieces paid and now only find morons, they say it's 2much work. TTE sounds good, a bit expensive, not 2much power but in the other hand reliable. I need urgent POWER, my shoes are a huge anchor 265/35/18 in the rear.

My biggest concern about TTE or CPower is to take the car to Cologne or Budapest

Have to meet. I'll be in Marbella first 15 days of October

spynish · September 14, 2005, 18:25

Hi again Juan,

I haven't talked to them but I'm sure your conversion can be well done here:

http://www.vege.es/visita.php3

They are in Requena, one hour away from Valencia. I would ask there...

Where are you working, mate s:?: :?: s:?:

After all the money spent in your body kit/wheels, you have bought all these MWR parts and are going to do the conversion and still have money for going turbo... s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:

I'm a little envious... s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Uhmmmmmm, that place looks really good, I wonder if they'll do it and how long it could take, obviously they look professionals.

I run and own a construction company in Oviedo. I make money of course but I save some, no family "wife or kids", I just invest in life hapiness (food,drinks,trips,Mr2 and girlfriend). I can consider myself a lucky person.

TRD header and AEM intake has to go. Widebody, wheels and exhaust can stay, unless you want less restrictive exhaust.

You're right, it's too much work and you shouldn't do it. Instead you should sell all that stuff to me s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Prolex-UK · September 15, 2005, 19:02

I've just had an email from Freidel @ TTE and he's happy for me to take the completed order form to essen for you (you still get the special offer)

He confirmed that the conversion would take 1 day.

I can recommend a hotel 10 minutes walk form TTE and 3 minutes from the train station to get you into Cologne (wicked night out can be had)

please email me at Prolexuk AT gmail DOT com for the relevant order form.

If the travel is a problem I MAY be able to sort out a deal (post Essen) where I get it fitted at my workshop for a special price. My technician deals with the 500 + Supras and Skylines so is well able to do the job (if required)

However I recommend a trip over ......4 hours from Calais is all s:D

Prolex-UK · September 22, 2005, 20:20

TTE tell me they can only start installs from 2nd week in December.

markiii · September 24, 2005, 15:22

guys just got back from hols and ghave emails from freidel waiting.

As soon as I've caught up I'll update you.

markiii · September 24, 2005, 18:49

ladies and Gents please see the promised pictures of the extra chassis bracing.

Nice pics Mark, thanks.

Kinda interesting to note that TTE haven't got rid of that useless plate and spoon combo and gone for something more like Corky's plate. I wonder how easy it would be for someone to fab up that X-Brace, and just how much of a difference it makes...

TommyD · September 24, 2005, 23:36

Is that it! Looks a bit cheap to me. No wonder they throw that in for free with the turbo

markiii · September 25, 2005, 00:01

I should point out that

this si only used on cars made before the end of 2004, as after that their is additional bracing as standard.

pics are from the prototype I should imagine so expect better finish on customer installs.
