182 Turbo's?

[vtgrrrs]

Apart from ktec who does turbo conversions for 182's? Thinking of considering it after my warranty runs out. Also, how reliable are they?

If your serious, i'd by the one thats already been done thats for sale at £12k

 

[kully]

true , as your looking at around 6k for the conversion , is it bb performance that do them too (sp)

 

[vtgrrrs]

Can't afford it now but should be able to in a few months/year. Just looking into other options apart from ktec (that's not to say I have a problem with them, just want to know what else is out there).

Aye, ktec and bbpt. Sure someone else did too, cant think who it is now though!

not given it a proper hammering from standstill yet, but spins in 1st and 2nd.

It's like the 5k kick, but all the time, power delivery is so smooth, just constant pulling up to around 6000 where it peaks.

Dave, I want to see it fully stripped and running 310bhp @ 900kg's.

Should go like the f**king clappers lol.

nooooo!!!! It's sooo pretty! I always wanted a nice shiny black car.

Well I'm not asking you to take the bumpers and bonnet off like some muppets on this forum do. Strip out the interior. You can always put it back if needs be. Sure you may not reach 900kg but f**k me a 310bhp per ton car will be rapid.

If i had somewhere to store the interior, I would. I had good results with stripping the 172, that was only running 179bhp, easily beat cups with all the rear stripped.

For now it's quick enough. I'll no doubt strip it one day for a bit of fun.


Rebecca says i should diet before stripping interior out again!

 

[Peperami]

Hehe! Aye, leave interior in mate.

Set of recaro's would go a treat in that

I think it did, but was down on torque. I left it in the car, was not enough power to keep hold of it.
