Gday everyone.

Im looking into buying a TT Soarer, But need some basic information that I am having trouble trying to find. Ive owned a Beautiful Celsior for a while now and intend on hanging on to it aswell but just want some thing with more power.

1:
What would you consider too many km's on the clock if the engine is to be intended for more boost (around 14psi) I understand there are alot of varibles that can be taken into account. Just a rough figure would give me a guide line.

2:
Do all TT soarers have LSD?

3:
What sort of pressure and variance should be in the cylinders on a heathly motor when performing a pressure test?

4:
I have been researching intercooler kits and some places seem to say that a kit that fits a jzz30 will also fit a jza80 (4th gen supra), Is this correct?

5:
Where can I get dump pipes from? any links would be great.

Thanks for all the help.
Please be nice as I am new to turbo soarers.

1. There is no figure mate. The 1JZ are a strong engine straight out of the factory and provided it has been well serviced will easily take 14psi. I heave heard of some 1JZ doing 300,000km+. Don't look at km's as a sign of engine health when buying these cars, look for signs of maintenance and/or neglect.

2. No, LSD was only an option. Most did not have this option either.

3. No idea :-)

4. Yes, however some kits may require small modification to fit the JZZ30. You only need two extra bits of silicone. Search the forum for Just Jap, their kits have/had this issue. The Greedy kits fit 100%.

5. Lew or the ones on Ebay which supposebly needed to be modded to fit.

Or standard dumps like mine, and only .05 sec behind Daniel. So I would have to say that the standard dumps aren't that bad.

Hell any after market dumps will do it better than the standard setup =P

Unless they are purposely built to be worse. ;D
