Re: mintys 172 turbo
Need people's opinions now, got new exhaust and some friends say recess it into the bumper with a 182 exhaust surround and some say leave it how it looks below...
do I make a bumper cut out???
very slight kurbing and one hole on each wheel is damaged due to locking wheel nut removal.
Pilot sport 3's on the front with 3mm left
Kuhmo V700s on the rear on the limit.
just wanna know what their worth.
sorry if its in the wrong section.
Re: mintys 172 turbo
I will be getting a gauge for boost soon so i will know how much pressure then. heat resistance plate is decent and covers slightly more than the one i had on their before, standard? so the turbo can get hot as it likes safely!
I think the ecu is preset with the map im...
Re: mintys 172 turbo
Its a 230bhp conversion using a T25 turbo, standard internals (safe up to 230hp) has a piggyback ecu. Pics to follow of oil feeds.
Re: mintys 172 turbo
Thank you all, it is a very tidy install indeed, engine bay is fully steam cleaned before the engine goes back in, which I thought was a really nice touch.
Re: mintys 172 turbo
i have seen this but all the pipe work is good for up to 280 horse so I think it is alright.
i want to remove stickers I think seeing it in the photos! Will post picture when done, cheers for the feedback guys!
Re: T17OJC current owner
Yeah runs sweet, need to do another 500 miles then change oil and take it back to check the boost and the whole conversion over then she's all set and done!
Hopefully on the right area!

Around 12-1 pm
