Been doing some research and pricing up the options, the fact remains turbo charging can be done for £750 with new parts whereas charging is £4-5K. Unless that is, someone fancies donating a rotrex.

kcw 1 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It cant be true?! How are you managing to turbo your car for £750?? I cant even seen to find a decent vr suitable second hand turbo never mind new stuff.Teach me! Please! Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Here is a complete kit that can be supplied. I'm in no way vouching for the quality or performance but it is one lead that i've looked into.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170346524761&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1085wt_941You could run this on low boost with no internal modifications, but from what I have read so far and i'm no expert on the matter I would feel alot more comfortable replacing head and crankshaft bolts, replacing pistons and fitting a spacer plate to lower compression in addition to a kit like this. Injectors would also be a consideration.It is still possible to run this type of setup with low boost and no further outlay. For better quality components and increased strength individual items can be found relatively cheaply if the risk of condition is assessed. ie turbo's for £100, manifolds about the same and intercoolers from other vehicles sourced from breakers. I'm still researching what's possible would suggest anyone else doing the same. Jim did all his for under £1000 and he's running more than 400 bhp. Jake bought a car already turbo'd on a kit similar to this and paid not much more including the car. So it is possible. I can't vouch for any of the specifics until i've done mine but there are some very clever individuals on here who are more than willing to help. Also you could haggle and place a bid which means you could get for less than the £749. Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Cheer bungy you make it sound easy, that turbo has a 90 day warranty so dont think it'd even last that long lol Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It's just an option buddy but is shows it can be done. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 spoke to a guy in the know location in canada so manifold would be for LHD cars? turbo does look on the small size, so would spool up quick and top end would be abit flat, more than likely chineese copies of the turbo and manifold too. discuss Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I just prefer doing th ejob right first time round, not running for a couple of months then replace something etc.Could end up replacing the whole lot in 12 months. I'm more like how Kev is with his motor, do it once do it right Link to post Share on other sites
