sorry, theres a few turbod saxos on here, best place for advice is gmc

[woodsy]

true but someone was gonna say it ...

its just comman sense to search i would of thought

plus prices and fitting etc all vary so wouldnt get a exact answer

[kennedy]

a was looking for a rough idea also just wanted to know what the power gains ect are like just wanted to know

[kenny]

gmc motorsport are the best people to speak to about this for sure dude, do a search for ideas about possible gains etc.

Power will vary on how much money your willing to put into it, if it's a daily drive or not etc..

[sy_VTR]

but like most people on here and in every day life, a lot of us cannot afford to go to gmc, maybe the guys looking for prices with a made up turbo kit!

[S34MER]

[kenny]

whos look for a turbod vtR

carworx and gmc are the people to speak to

id say around 3k + for parts and fitting thats just the basicish kit

cant think of anyone off the top of my head on here who has a turbod vtr

theres a few with vts turbos though

[kennedy]

was actually thinking of stripping my car and using the turbo and dump valve of that then it would mean i just have to get the manifold intercooler and pipe work done so could work out cheaper

[hesslevtr]

a turbo off what

need to get it all set up to

[matt-vts]

jamesvts had one so he knows all in ins and out, think epmotorsportr did some of his, manifold etc

[DevilDamo]

there you are mate

[williamsvts]

why do you wnat to take the turbo off that and onto yoru saxo?

[kenny]

thats quite smart the civic

[kennedy]

because i might be braken it so instead of buying a new turbo all put it on my saxo when i get one i just want me own project to do

[S34MER]

that Civic is fuckin mint mate!

[hesslevtr]

whats up with the civic it looks awsome and rather have that then the saxo

[tweeqd]

you need to know the specs of the turbo, what are the trim sizes, to be honest it would probably be better selling that to a civic owner and starting again on the saxo, it can be done DIY but turboing a saxo is not cheap, ive not done it to a saxo but to its better looking brother (with a vtr lump ;) )

[kennedy]

the turbo on the civic is a GReddy t19 turbo and yeah the civic is really nice but i bought it like that so dosent feel like mine if you know what i mean and i have also been a big fan of saxos and i want to turbo one because there aint that many of them about were is now there is loads of turbo'd civic and stuff

[Mark51]

keep the civic, imo

[tweeqd]

you would be supprised ;)

[vtr130]

pug1off are good m8, there do it for around 3k. Say craig sent you and there sort ya out ;)

[Matt_R]

Civic is well nice, I would have one of them if i didnt have the vtr

[Karl]

that civic looks lush mate.

[boz]

loads of places do them mate, just depends on what you want.

i would stay clear of the likes of cituning and the like who offer cheaper kits (these kits are just low boost items and are not the best.

the likes of carworx and gmc in the uk, or dp engineering in the netherlands are the guys to speak to.

but running a turbo car costs quite abit. you will be looking at 4 -5k for all the kit, then fitting, then setup which is vital and needs to be done by a pro.
then you will need bigger brakes, much better clutch, suspension, forged pistons if your running higher boost, standalone ecu for better setup of management. the list goes on lol turbo manifold is the expensive part of the kit.
turbo saxos eat the gearboxes and drive shafts, just ask the founder of this site SIMO, hes been running his saxo vts turbo for years and has had a few probs, he will be the man to chat too ;)

you can also supercharge the saxo, which has a similar effect to a turbo, some will argue one is better than the other but you will have to make your mind up and research into it. supercharger kits are easier to fit and are a tad cheaper, not much tho lol

defo worth doing in my opinion ;)

[boz]

a turbo manifold for a t25- t28 will cost around £500+ for a stainless version. these are bespoke/one off made to order.
a intercooler and radiator from gmc are around 350 each, you can just run the intercooler from gmc and use a bigger saxo/106 diesel radiator (cheap new from euro car parts) but you will also need to run the header tank from the diesel car, this will mean you have to relocate the ecu position where it is now so you can fit the header tank there, but it defo worth doing as it lowers the cooling right down ;)

you will also need the boost pipes from gmc along with an extra injector holder with extra injectors and an mf2 unit, ,which controls the injectors when the turbos on boost and a 2 bar map sensor. you will also need an air fuel ratio meter to ensure that the car is not running to lean/rich etc. 2 mutli steel layered gaskets to lower the compression or a set of forged pistons, a oil cooler(must have), bigger brakes(must have) and an uprated clutch(must have) lol.
i am sure i have missed a few bits and bobs off the list.

gmc motorsport in scotland supply all of these parts off the shelf as seperate parts. but the cost will soon add up lol

i would recommend a turbo off a twin turbo skyline r33, think they are a water cooled t25 or t28, they spool up really fast on the saxo and are ideal as they dont suffer too much lag, think they come on boost at around 2k ;)

[xclairex]

seen this quite a few times in shields its a lovely car i would keep it!

[kennedy]

cheers for your help guys and girls and for car comments well all a need to do now is find a saxo to do and turbo it :)

[saxygjk]

u wanna speak to Reece (r66ceo) and olly from down my way, chelmsford ther couple guys i know they had all sorts of engine upgrades pm them im sure there point ya in the right direction!
