boz · 5th August 2006, 12:04

Hi peeps,
well as some of you know i have a project im going to be starting very soon. Just depends on work load really, wether i will get it ready in time for trax.

Im going to get a load of pics taken and take you guys on a step by step guide to fitting a super charger kit then a turbo kit. lol
you herd right, im going to fit the supercharger kit first to the vtr then once i have my tubular manifold and down pipe built, i will remove the supercharger and fit the turbo. This will help to inform peeps the difference in the 2 setups. i will try and get a rr print out for both the supercharger fitted and the T25 fitted so i can compare the 2

i have the full kit sitting in the garage crying out my name.
So there you have it, i was going to keep it a surprise but you all knew my intentions.
Just need to get started, but as normal, work have me rushing around like a blue arsed fly! lol

WATCH THIS SPACE

hope you enjoy it

I will get get some pics up of the car and kit soon

nice one boz glad too see this is gettin the green light! look forward to seeing the results

boz · 5th August 2006, 12:14

LOL i just hope it all goes to plan, but i doubt it lol

picking up a twin plate clutch today, just need some uprated engine mounts and some forged pistons, but they will be coming at a later date.

i just want to prove that people can fit the kit themselves without paying high prices.

Also want to see what i can get out of the vtr

boz · 5th August 2006, 12:15

will get some pics up today sometime

ets2k9 · 5th August 2006, 12:15

What kind of price do you reckon it'll come in at?

Yates · 5th August 2006, 12:23

about time you started to get all this sorted, go start it today

boz · 5th August 2006, 12:52

well, i got the kit second hand for an ok price, which included a load of new parts with reciepts and still in bags

the turbo manifold and the down pipe are going to be fairly expensive as the are coming from the netherlands, but they will be well worth the money and wait. i will be saving on fitting costs. But things like the engine mounts, twin plate clutch and forged pistond will knock the price up more lol
i will keep track of everything and give you all a better insight when im done

got a few little thing that im going to keep secret too lol just for the suprise element

ets2k9 · 5th August 2006, 12:55

Which one are you intending to keep fitted (SC or TUrbo) or does that depend on the results?

It seems like a lot of hassle to fit a SC then a Turbo and possibly go back to the SC (if you get what i mean).

What company in the Netherlands are you using?

So many questions....

boz · 5th August 2006, 12:59

dp engineering in the netherlands, lad called Pieter really knows his stuff and has produced some awesome cars.

im keeping the turbo me thinks, just for the dump valve lol

its too hard to keep the 2 and run them together, would be awesome tho lmbo

I wasnt expecting you to keep both but I'll gladly read your progress if you do

.

Are you selling the Supercharger after the trial run then (you can see where this is going now (LOL)

.

ets2k9 · 5th August 2006, 13:06

Another question....

Do DP Engineering have a website?

boz · 5th August 2006, 13:15

they did mate but it was under construction last time i looked mate.

defo not running the 2 lol

i may be selling up the supercharger but you would need every thing to go with it lol i was going to keep it as a backup if the turbo went bang, but i have 2 turbos lol.

Really want to see how she runs with each of them, see how they deliver the power and how the vtr responds to each.
