!!FOR SALE!!!....!!My Throttlebodied Turbo VTS Track car!! - Saxperience

blocks85 · 28th December 2009, 09:37

Hi all, dont post up here much as bit new to this. doing something different with the car than usuall so thought id share with you good peeps. ive got a track vts that i use at combe all the time and its running a MTECH jenvey bodies conversoin with cat 708's and MTECH V4 standalone management. fot the past year the car performs awesome even in the wet!(ask SAMB) and surprising most cars on the track. BUT WANTED TO GET MY TEETH into summit over christmas so i decided to turbo it and retain the jenvey bodies with the 4 butterflies. so i had a custom alloy inlet plenum made and welded to the trumpets so as that all done and fitted and everything else plumbed in intercooler,hard pipes, turbo etc. Its on the brink of its maiden start up id post some pics that samB took other day to show how its getting on!. once its fired up it will be trailored to MTECH to get mapped again then hit the track. hope its of some interest. thanks peeps.chris

awsome m8, cant wait to see this up and running, i had this idea, but most just said its not worth it and will be difficult to map, keep us informed m8, engine bay does look awsome with the 2

Alot of moneys gone into that engine

I would definately get some cambelt covers on, if a stone gets stuck in there :o

There you go, copied some pictures over for you.

Always chat about this with my mate boost and bodies! Awesome to see it getting done.

cheers for the help with all pics you swapped over paul, not down with that too much. if you wanna do more you welcome too.

In a answer to one answer above, yeah im from pewsey which is near devizes but me and a mate chris built the car in the farm workshop where i go shooting (hence the farm Workshop MOTORSPORT) stickers down the wings as thought it would be a laugh.

Thanks for the interest again, from what i can make out this conversion doesnt seem to have been done too often as most people do away with the butterflies so i wanted to give it ago and run both. ive got to fit the actuator, turbo,manifold and other bits tomorrow then when thats done it looks like its going to matt @ MTECH on thursday to be mapped.

This car has built on a super budget as id like to make people aware, me and chris have done everything apart from the bodies, mapping and management which was done at mtech. And they done me an absolute bargain offer on that lot so was too good to miss.

On the turbo side of things i bought a cheap 2nd hand kit off ebay where i used just the turbo, rs turbo intercooler and the exhaust flange and we made the rest up. we went to merlin motorsport and got all the samco joins for the intercooler, elbows for the down pipe and all other bits like oil feed, air intake pipe for turbo etc.

as money is tight i try to make this as cheap as possibe but reliable as pos so proof is gonna be in the pudding when it is mapped to how it is going to run, ive ran the last 4 track days at combe with the throttle body set up and after 500 odd miles at flat out on the red line the car has been perfect and not missed a beat as the mapping was perfect!! along the way the sax holds it own, 340hp evo 6 which my mate rich has we were stalemate round combe for 15laps solid after we decided to go in as it was gonna end in tears how hard we were pushing!!

Rough spec so far as what i can remember-

saxo vts j4 16v engine
jenvey throttle bodies
with custom alloy inlet plenum welded to trumpets
garrett t25 turbo
rs turbo intercooler in bumper
bleed valve
custom hard intercooler piping with samco joins
mocal oil cooler in bumper
cat cams 708's
MTECH V4 stand alone engine management
Dell laptop wired to ecu for display of engine gauges
adjustable fuel pressure reg
alloy strut brace

fully stripped out
no dash
bucket seats
haransses
full roll cage
battery reloctaed in boot in battery box
full spoox motorsport perspex windows
lowered spax suspension
mvk alloys with toyo r888's
ebs grooved and drilled discs
red stuff pads all round
goodridge braided hoses
5.1 brake fluid

prob missed other bits but thats all i can remember off my head

good old sax, love her!!

thanks again for time to read this peeps, if anyone wants to know anything ill be more that happy to answer any questions!!

cheers chris

that looks sweet!!

Mathias · 28th December 2009, 19:32

Very impressive mate, who made your inlet?

blackie_2k5 · 28th December 2009, 19:37

looks awesome mate, you still runinng the 708's with the turbo though? turbo cams not be a better idea..image youll get some overlapping with that profile.

gavin_t · 28th December 2009, 19:48

Think you was at the september action day at coombe wasnt you?

Remember seeing the car out there iirc

AndySAXO^p · 28th December 2009, 20:10

708's make a half decent boost cam unless you are using lots of boost and then you will get blow through.. andy l's old S/C vts is running 310bhp@wheels with them in.

car looks awesome mate, im VERY keen on seeing the result and the noise. please put some vids up once done.
im guessing that you will be aiming for anything over 200bhp with this low boost setup?

what tyres are you using and do you have an lsd?

blackie_2k5 · 28th December 2009, 22:30

is that so...sort of the same thing with bp285's i know theyre quite good up till a certain point, plus one on the vids it loos like a very well done car.

any 708/ph3/bp285/pt52 will be good for boost up until a point but i wouldnt worry about that unless you run serious boost... if you have got good sparking system it will help.
