saxo vts turbo ????

[sammasson]

Hi i am wanting my saxo vts turboing and i dont have the time to do it or get the parts it need so does any one no some one who is willing to turbo my vts for me thanks

[jones91]

Speak to Atspeed on here mate, that's probably your best bet

[Ross]

Or Constella who are 200 miles closer.

[luthor1]

I can do it, I'm in Southampton - what BHP do you want?

Andy

[wadoryu]

Pm Sophia bush

Andy

what ever happened to that drive in drive out turbo conversion you were going to offer?

[Quick]

What is your budget???

[sammasson]

not got a budget

[Ross]

not got a budget

Prepare for that to change.

You've got a budget trust me. It's somewhere between £1k and £50k.

Perhaps a better wording is "how much are you prepared to spend".

[sammasson]

i dont have a budget i wold spend any thing

[welshpug]

Why start with a saxo then?! Just get an evo, or a gtr.

[Ross]

i dont have a budget i wold spend any thing

Good luck.

[jones91]

So your basically saying that your willing to spend 40k + on a saxo?

[Ross]

we may
be
being
trolled. :(

[jones91]

Just seen his other thread about bike carbs...... maybe he's going for a bike carbed, turbo'd vts...... hmmm

[Gandi699]

There should be a tally of how many times a week someone asks about turbo charging. I reckon 90% of it is trolling

[Brettles1986]

In that case, give me £30K and im sure I could squeeze a few extra ponies out of that car of yours.

You need to be realistic, It will cost you a fair few thousand to do it properly, which begs the question, why not just buy a better car?

I asked about this once, fairly sure most of us have. Had the intentions but never the determination.

[luthor1]

I sent 3 quotes for turbo charging after PM reuest, first 200bhp, then 300bhp and then he asked for 400bhp, then I saw he's asking for bike carbs

I don't understand :(

time to drop your prices andy - obviously scaring him off :p

[luthor1]

£2750 for a 200bhp drive-in drive-out including brand new turbo and ECU, injectors, intercooler, dump valve, pipework, oil cooler, mapped inc vat and labour?

...oh you're joking..

Very funny :P

[Ross]

What was your reply for the 400bhp question? :D

[luthor1]

Probably around £9k but I hadn't fully quoted it out including: forged pistons, rods, headwork, cams, solid lifters, engine rebuild, BE gearbox AND BE gearbox conversion, uprated radiator, intercooler, ECU, injectors, fuel pump, regulator, appropriate clutch, oil cooler, mapping and all labour and fitting

[jones91]

I was going to say it would be around the 9.5-10k mark just for the engine work and transmission alone, and then you have tyres, suspension, brakes etc to think about

However the o.p sounds like the type of person who would try to throw 400bhp through his Nankang tyres and TA Technix suspension :p

[Saxo_Mick666]

The OP may be trolling. But I'm quite interested in the 200BHP service. It may be in about 6-8 months time as my new job doesn't pay too well for the first two years, but if I can save the money; having someone who knows what they're doing do the conversion for me is probably going to save me more money in the long run buying the wrong parts and running components not suitable for each other. Is that price relative to the VTR (what I have) or is it more because you don't have 120BHP to start with? Thanks

[luthor1]

the price is for the VTS because I make ECU's for them so for me the mapping side of things is really quite simple and the rest is an exercise in mechanics!

[Saxo_Mick666]

Do you only work on VTS' then?

[luthor1]

I don't make an ECU for the VTR 8v so that kinda puts me out the equation a bit. Can't get the ECU plug to make an ECU is the problem.

convert to VTS!!

I take it blackie spliced his looms then as I think he runs one of your ECUs? correct me if I'm wrong though

[blackie_2k5]

Ja...

i run a single plug 106 quicksilver loom..with a 3 plug chassis side plug spliced on.


if you wanted it on an R..you have a few options..

1) if your car is single plug..find the loom from a 1.4vsx...or a single plug westcoast and its as easy as that..plug and play!

2) if your car is 3 plug..you can either find a single plug westcoast or singleplug quicksilver..or 1.4vsx loom..and get the chassis side plug changed so its plug and play

3)...if andy aggrees..and you probs pay more (but will be more worthwhile then splicing looms that can be easy damaged...you find an old VTR ecu...can pick locked ones up for under a tenner!...de solder the plug from it and post it to andy and he can poss make you an ecu with that plug on (not been done yet as far as im aware so it would be up to andy if he does it)

[Saxo_Mick666]

My VTR is a MK2, 2002 model so 3 plug I think? 3 plugs go into ECU under the bonnet anyway. I'd like to keep the engine I have cause it's quite low milage and has been quite reliable thus far. If it becomes a problem child closer to the time I have the money for this then I may look at a swap or even just buying a nice VTS to start off with. But if he does agree I'll do my best to source whatever he'll need to do the job, on my VTR. Like I say all this is quite far in the future though, funds just sadly don't allow at the moment.

[Saxo_Mick666]

So option two seems easiest and less 'groundbreaking' for want of a better word. I imagine this has been done before, so sourcing a loom that has had the plugs swapped seems most logical?

[welshpug]

thought the 1 plug vtr was the same plug as any other 3 row ecu, std 55 pin bosch plug?

might be worth getting in touch with these guys for the 3 plug stuff, they show the loom plugs :D

[blackie_2k5]

sourcing a loom which has had the plugs swapped will be hard to find ;)

im not aware of anyone else running a pred in a 3 plug car..andy may know of someone?

edit- and no..the vtr runs a diff type plug..so does the rallye irrc

Believe the rallye (at least the s2) runs and entirely different one again from the VTR

[Saxo_Mick666]

And the VTS is different again? Hence not being able to splice a VTS onto my VTR?

[luthor1]

Single Plug
8v VTR - 2 row 55pin
16v VTS - 3 row 55 pin

3-plug
8v VTR - 3 row loads of pins
16v VTS - 3 row loads of pins same as above

I do single plug VTS, 3 plug VTS and probably 3-plug VTR too since they are the same ECU just needs testing!!

simtek won't do the 3-plug wire to board but I get them elsewhere anyway

The VTR 2-row plug is the problem!

Andy

[Saxo_Mick666]

So my 3 plug ECU shouldn't be a problem providing everything goes to plan during testing? Im in no rush at the moment as I say it will be a while before it's possible for me, but I'm pleased I've found someone who may (most probably?) be able to do it. I'll definatly be intouch closer to the time I want it doing to see what's what. Thanks to everyone with comments, idea's and solutions aswell!
