How Much..?

[mattchewone]

How much would a garage cost for fitting a turbo and all its gubbins roughly. Just looking in to how much i would need? As i am looking into buying a vts engine and port n polishing it, TB's, Cams, Turbo, Forged pistons. Think thats about it i think just thinking about costs. Any help is appreciated aswell as opinions.
p.s i have a 1.1 at the moment

Think carworx do turbo conversion startin at around 3.5k or somethink. Its on there site i believe.

Thats just for the turbo, conversion is around £1200 i think i heard. Its going to be at least £6k i'd say, possibly more?

[mattchewone]

wow thats alot of money will have to consider it, and doing it slowly over time as i really would like to do it all. But cost maybe a problem will see what happens. Is there know where cheaper for a conversion thats ludacris. Is it possible to do myself with help of friends?

i'd start with the vts lump, not to hard to do at all if you have the ecu unlocked etc. but can be a bit of a shitter. i believe Mark just did this, look at his thread in the photo section

Then i'd consider throttle bodies, i've heard its a good option for a daily driver! You could always consider a supercharger, i think boz had one so maybe worth a pm to him!

Its still going to cost you but would be a pretty cool project.

[mattchewone]

oh right will have a look i no its going to be costly but hopefully should be fun. Want to hopefully start up a custom car garage but need to do some courses and work for some people first thought this would be a good project for myself.

[Danr]

Well deffers keep us all informed about it matey

Anything more than £4k - don't bother, save it and get a better car!

I'd love the idea of kitting out a saxo with a turbo or a supercharger, but for an extra few £k, you could get an extremley fast car eg. imprezza, evo, skyline (second-hand like).

I'm saving for an evo 8 (as much as I love my Sax)...

Just a thought..
