Turbo conversion…
-
I wouldnt touch a cheap non brand turbo with a barge pole, wouldnt last five minutes :lol:
that kit doesnt include a manifold either!making your own turbo kit up is the wayforards,
and part of the fun for me, wether it be 1.6 or 1.8 8)
-
Do you know what gets on my tits when you tell people about possibly turboing a car? When they say "why not just get a better car?"
Where would we be without people uprating their engines?

I find most of the retarded comments like that come from people who know nothing about cars/think a car can only be good if it's less than a few years old….and there's plenty of those around!

You should move this to rainys thread about stupid sayings/phrases LOL!
-
So has anybody here actually pulled this conversion off successfully? I'd love to try but it seems a much bigger job than i originally expected.
-
give me another six months i should have mine installed
-
great. i would like a full log of everything you do and everything that goes wrong when you're done pretty please with sugar on top.
-
it will all be in my project thread mate,
then i'll do a write up.
hopefully nothing goes wrong after it,lol
Im keeping it mega simple and basic to begin with
so it wont be too hard to trace if there is a problem :)
-
In america you can buy off the shelf turbo kits for the V6 + 1.6 all complete ready to assemble
-
but please dont any one waste there money on them :P
most of them dont include management/manifold, and they are cheap turbos!
you want a good brand named turbo liked Garrett, IHI or Holset.
-
cheers, a shopping list would be great too.
-
whats your budget then?
-
As cheep as poss. Am skint. Looks like around £400 would be the least possible amount. That about right?
-
Not really , you need to double that atleast.
Second hand turbo and manifold > 150
Uprated clutch > 200
AEM fuel/ignition management > 300
Plug and play wiring harness > 120
Injectors > 30
Intercooler & boost pipes > 50 - 100
Wideband lambda > 120Then on top of that add in a mapping session.
-
The budget kit from america starts at £700
-
And that dont even include the manifold/exhaust downpipe or management!
