tonys on going project ... rebuild is on .....


Recommended Posts

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.

You could run this on low boost with no internal modifications' date=' 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.

Like I said fella's i'm not vouching on quality but just that you can shop around. Already contacted the seller and they can supply for right hand drive. I don't understand how a T3/4 hybrid can be too small. How big do you want?

Jims is a T4 and that seems to be plenty.
