Is it fooked? doesnt sound much unless its pressurising?

[Gibbo-Vtr]

Of course its 'fooked' its a French car.
Something, somewhere is broken... Guaranteed

[tomsaxo]

LOL thats why we buy them! I love french hot hatches!

[adzvtr]

i know the guy selling it, its not foobered, he has a skyline, and a turboed civic coupe, so he cant afford this one aswell.

[adzvtr]

SORRY same car different guy,
sounds like needs new rings now from what i just read

[maddison_vts]

the guy that built it used a cheap ebay turbo that doesn't boost, nothing to compensate for the fueling and claimed it to be 200bhp. It's now broken. I don't think anymore needs to be said...
*edit, the fact the car can run a standard clutch without slipping proved enough that it wasn't producing any amount of power especially not 200bhp. I'd be VERY suprised if it dyno'd above 160bhp.

[tomsaxo]

Yeah stay away from that one!

[Gibbo-Vtr]

Yeah stay away from that one!

Was said in the first post ;)

[maddison_vts]

its a bit annoying for me really, there are so many badly bodged turbo conversions on 106's and saxo's making sweet fa power that when someone like myself comes to sell a properly boosted one with proper management and mapped by a proffesional it makes it difficult to sell because people are too suspicious of them.

[adzvtr]

^^^^^
ye but mads, there are alot of people can vouch for u urs is a proper quick saxo, and done right

bit of a shame tbh as looks quite a nice shell.

[devilsadvocate]

He bought it for much more than asking price

I lost some oil from the rocker cover breather pipe

Can't be bothered to have it looked at yet will happily take several pictures and list it on ebay

Could be genuine but I smell bbbbbbullllllssssshiiiitt!!!!!!

[Mochachino]

It lost some oil through the breather filter...thats why hes selling :S

Thats like saying, im going to sell my car because the tyre pressures are down.

[tally2425]

The car doesnt drive.

[Mr_X]

so its still listed as a vtr, not a vts.

does it still have the kent cams in it with the turbo? i thought you were suppose to have different or standard cams?

[coleman258]

reason for sale being that I bought the car only last weekend

The fact it says that would put me off straight away.

[Manu]

If that's a VTS, then where's the passenger airbag + electric mirrors?

Nah some guys to run different cams as long as they're not hugely wild, big valve overlap is the no no (infect really any) with boost as blow by isn't great.

16v'd VTR:
Another point to add is that the car is originally a VTR with a VTS conversion therefore it would be up to the new owner to declare this as it's still a VTR on the v5.

[YourDreamGirl]

Looks naicee.. Shame its fecked :\

[JoshB]

To be fair I bet I could fix that for under £500, I'd just swap the block. If I went and viewed it I could haggle the guy down on price, £1500. A VTS turbo for £2000 aint too bad if you ask me.

[ollsaxogti]

thats my old car :( i sold it last year due to buying a house and it wad in mint condition , then it changed hands a couple of times and ended up getting ruined IMO , the turbo conversion wasnt done by me and TBH it looks to be a shitty job , no mension of mangment on list etc either . pains me to see a car i built from standard get F.U.B.A.R'D

[blackie_2k5]

as said already, its got no management, has run for a bit...FAR too hot and fried the rings, now has back pressure and blwing oil out :y:

new engine, decent management youve got a vts turbo tbh

[TomT]

I'd do that tbh.

[maddison_vts]

i don't think you guys aren't getting it!! its on a t3/t4 hybrid chinese ebay turbo. Even on management it will still be crap. the only things on that car that are of any use to a turbo conversion will be the sump return, boost piping and intercooler.
