GTT Conversion

[Carl_RT]

Just wondering the cost and insurance on a conversion???

Oh and the kind of power (BHP) once the conversion is done??

 

[edde]

Costs about £1.5k I think but you have to supply the bits and a complete car is the best place to start. and then sell whats left afterwards.

Power output depends on what you want to spend the stock is 120hp and with a few mods ie exhaust intake and messing with boost pressure 140 should be easy anough Id think.

Ask BRUN on there he has had his car converted and will know more though

 

[CHR15G]

do a search, there should be loads of info on GTT conversions

 

[Matt16v]

Loads and loads of info.

Plenty of people done/doing or contemplating it at the moment!

 

[bill]

what kind of 1/4 mile times are these cars pulling?

should be good i would imagine?14s? less?

 

[Griff]

I doubt it would even break into the 14s tbh.

 

[bill]

what about the tweaked turbo lumps on here,have they done any decent times?

 

[CorsaD2003]

your looking at around high 14s to 15s with basic mods.

 

[diamond geezer]

if you need some details post me. just having major rebuild done but in standard form, beat every clio ive come up against.

Where abouts does the conversion for 1.5K????

 

[BRUN]

Grey Devil Industries in Caxton, Cambridge did mine

Andy who runs the place is a top bloke and is regularly on this forum, if you want a GOOD job doing, with no bodging then hes your man

07010 716440 - Andy Cutler

my insurance stayed the same, and YES it is declared, i already had modified engine policy and the capacity of the car hasnt changed, so they said no change to policy cost

im with Liverpool Victoria, who also give excellent customer service

 

[major b]

Brun, what spec is ya engine?

bhp/torque?

what charger ya using?

Soz to be nosey, but was pointed in ya direction as an example of GDI handy work.

 

[Matt16v]

Only places to go are GDI and Torsion Tuning.

I went to Torsion Tuning and they are very reasonable and offer a discount to Clio Sport members.

Although I know nothing about Andy I have seen the pics and the work looks tidy!

when you see how close that battery is to the Turbo, you might think again about wanting it still in the engine bay, a Turbo gets VERY VERY VERY hot

i mentioned keepin the battery in the bay to mailto:Andy@GDI">Andy@GDI, until he shown me how close it is to the turbo, i changed my mind !

oh an with regards to Torsion, they have had my mates 16v for over 6 months now doing his GTT conversion, awaiting some parts im told but there is no way on this earth i would wait 6 months+ for it to be completed, especially given the money he has spent/is spending (a very serious amount of cash!)

 

[Carl_RT]

Thanks for all the replies - ive got loads of ideas for next year now!! Its just trying to decide which option to take!!!

 

[purpleturbo]

[purpleturbo]
