1990 miles to decide - engine tuning

[Jay Payne]

Belt done now and save for a charger. You know it makes sense

 

[Daniel]

supercharged dan????

Yep. want it done in the new year!

 

[sideways danny]

have started speaking to some people, so many different routes though

still need the cup alternator bracket too

dont need the big bracket if you supercharge

 

[Topgeartom]

stop f*nnying around and put a supercharger on it.

 

[Nafoff]

dont need the big bracket if you supercharge

lol......

 

[Andyman]

Cams are getting less cost effective vs performance by the month going by the 2.5k for a turbo conversion, this Supercup inlet and charger conversions for 'old priced' full TB money etc etc

Saying that dont be fooled by this ''only 20bhp'' lark

 

[fad]

Good thread as I am in the same boat, hoping to have my inlets anytime soon so either looking into cams and a remap and be happy....or supercup cams and a remap.....decisions decisions.

I rember on GDI's site they used to packages with cams etc their sites a tad bare at the moment!

 

[Christopher]

I'd supercharge it!

...if you're planning on keeping the car.

 

[Nafoff]

I'd supercharge it!

...if you're planning on keeping the car.

there is no point in selling...lol

still the only thing i fancy is a mark 1, would then swap the engine over...lol

 

[Nafoff]

so i think i have narrowed it down ,after hearing peoples opinions on here and from a colleague who had a supercharged car..

the options...

cams, matched inlets, de - air-con, remap

or

supersharged, de - air-con

just need to look at £££ options etc now

 

[fad]

How much is charging or is it still all secret banter at the moment?

I'd go down the cams and super cup inlet personally and map and enjoy the car for what it is. At least if you decide to sell you can unbolt stuff and sell is mildly tuned etc

If you are thinking of charging etc buy a quicker car IMO

 

[Nafoff]

selling the car is not being considered with any of this.....lol

the supercup inlet as far as i can gather is still up in the air,

 

[Guppy]

so how many miles left?

the OP was 1990...

 

[Nafoff]

i reckon i have around 1800 to decide what i am doing, not a massively long time

 

[Guppy]

LOL

GDI ftw!

 

[Icarus]

wordsmith gup

 

[ChrisR]

meh get rid of the chest wig on wheels and you're sorted

How much is a charger kit coming out to?

 

[Nafoff]

not sure mate, trying to find out

 

[Winston]

there is no point in selling...lol

<3

 

[Nafoff]

1500 miles left

still no decision made...

 

[Guppy]

I seen you bought a big filter?

Loud? lol

 

[Nafoff]

not done anything chap, car is still the same

 

[The_Pirate]

Ive not read the entire thread matey but surley your timing belt was long due before now as its 5 years or 72k?

 

[Guppy]

not done anything chap, car is still the same

In that Pic its got a huge open filter on??

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

I'd say boost is the way forward. Cams are okay but the 20bhp is all up top, ITB's sound amazing and give you a good power increase everywhere, but boost the engine and the sky's the limit for power. I'd certainly not bother spending money on cams unless the car is bodied already

 

[Fred@BTM]

1500 miles left

still no decision made...

you touch it, you'll spend a fortune, and still get done by a stock car with a decent driver (no offense if you can drive)

go see Don Palmer, worth much more than 20bhp

 

[Nafoff]

i understand what you mean Fred.....

am interested in getting some track tuition, i can't really say if i am a good driver or not,

 

[Nafoff]

so far i have contacted

GDI
K-tec

[Jay Payne]

Your not very good in a kart everyone else had fuel in theirs tho so that doesn't prove much I suppose
