not much point turboing 1.4 engine for same price you could get a VTS engine which would make more power. ( i think )

but what if he only wants to turbo his 1.4? and if you only "think" it may make more power why post? what if your wrong? (your not oc) but that would be pretty bad advice and you'd look quite stupid wouldnt you?

haha go blackie lol.

tbh mate if its the 1 on ebay you will have to change the elbow cos it needs to be a smooth turn no like 90 degree flat lol.

and sam not every1 wants to do a engine change its like telling the vtr boys get a vts engine theres no point in putting a turbo on a vtr when most of the people that done it are more then happy with it. thats crap advice to be honest he didnt ask you what you thought he was asking advice on how to and what to do.

donnyboy if you can get a pic of what it looks like we might be able to help you better.

[blackie_2k5]

lol i cant help it but its painfully obvious that you shouldnt make statements about a subject then put "i think" on the end? waste of time among more practical things comes to mind?

[sergcab]

aww dont worry blackie he needs to get his posts up :) so he thought he would get 1 more by giving the most random advice that he dont no lol

[blackie_2k5]

lol....and erm 1 more for me ;)

[Donnyboyy]

aha brilliant blackie :D
ehh well it is on ebay and it does not look the cleanist but if it works .. hoo cares :))

Have A Little Look See What You Think , Cheerz Guys ;)

[sergcab]

haha come on lets stop spamming his question :) lol

yea stay away from that unless you wana fix it instead of putting it on straight away. you would need to sort the intake arm out coz of the 90 degree flat bend. and im not to sure it might jsut be my eyes but it looks like it on the wonk so it would starve the turbo for oil.

lets see what blackie thinks,

on a positive note if you could get that cheap it already has a 5th injector and all the sump plugs to and from so you would have nearly all sorted

haha 1 more for me aswell :) lol

had a better look at it just now does that even have an intercooler and the air filter pipes?

edit

[blackie_2k5]

stay well away mate, its just one of those bodged together pieces of shit thats floating around, if your scroll down a few posts/pages youll see this exact turbo in a thread, and i quote "the worst set up ive ever see"
read the stickies at the top of each section mate, all the info you need about turbos etc is in there, just stay well away from ebay gear as its worthles and will be a serious risk to your engine

[Donnyboyy]

right guys thats brilliant cheerz , just am desprete to turbo my car just not got the 2k for a really good one :)) thanks for your help anyway :D blackie good luck with your VtTurbo :D

[sergcab]

you can get bits cheap mate. take a few trips to the scrap yard :y: and get bits and boobs that you can work with and then get a propa mani decomp plate for the sump 5th injector or go standalone and pipes and air filter.

thts what im goin to do look for bits cheap give them a good clean and do it to the best of my possabilatys :y: coz i dont have rivers of money to spend either.

what turbo you goin for btw blackie? t25?

[blackie_2k5]

cheers mate, but id say(and so will most) if you havent got decent money to spend on a reliable build its not worth going for, but if youve got a bit spare and have a daft car just for a bit fun and a sapre engine you could do it very cheaply long as you know it will burst,

[Donnyboyy]

yeah very true mate , i would rather have a expensive build also , was just gonny try get a cheap one for a bit of fun to see how close it would be with my dads evo :)) but i think i am gonny start saving for it maybe start this time next year :D was looking at supercharger kits on GMC there and for the full kit ther looking for like £3500 might go down that route and supercharge it , got too many ideas not rnuff cash at the moment , im not even 17 yet and have so many plans :D its crazy

:oops: ok i was a dick on that 1. but just a question dont you have to put something on the sump?

i swear you where selling the sigcon and 5th injector for like 200 lol. i would have it coz thts cheap but im goin the standalone route wit the preds ecu. jsut wna get camshafts fitted, mani and exhaust as i just done a engine change on my vtr

[blackie_2k5]

lmao if you only 17 youll be waiting a while before superchargers or turbos mate, just go for the breathing mods for now, good things come to those who wait

[blackie_2k5]

nah mate ive got the sigcon that goes with the mf2 and fifth injector that karl has for sale, you do need to modify the sump for the oil return though

[sergcab]

oo i was thinking of something else i no bout the return dont no why i thought the de comp was for the sump :S.

o right i remember seeing a thread bout it on the for sale with all of it for like 200.

[Donnyboyy]

yeah a suppose i have around £1500 left in the bank saved up , so im gonny keep that goin slowly hopefully by next year i have around enuff for doing something crazy to my car :))

[Sophia_Bush]

that kit is like puttign a turd in your petrol tank and expecting it to smel nice

[sergcab]

get breathing mods, cams better suspension breaks and then save up for a turbo then your car wont be all about power coz you will need to be able to handle it lol. its not all about straight line speed mate.

if your 17 take things slow im 20 and i just finished fitting a vts engine mate now im goin to start doin what i always wanted but i do have other commitments so it will need to be a slow process which i might not even finishe and get a better car lol

[sergcab]

hahahaha wouldnt it still smell of petrol lmfaoooo :panic:

[Lew_C]

stay well away, that intake it like a right angle, as said somewhere above you need to keep the airflow as smooth as possible so it all flows schwweeeet. that is a bag of toss mate
