k-tec turbo conversion worth it ?

[midge]

i want more power in my valver, ive looked at 2.0ing it but have had a bit of trouble finding somewhere to do the covnersion, ive looked into throttle bodies but it's too expensive, the k-tech conversion is cheapish compared to other options and offer's 170bhp? coupled with some other mod's maybe looking at around 200bhp? the only problem i can see with the kit is that its pretty expensive for what it is (basically a very low boost conversion with no big upgrade's)

K-tec are a nice bunch of guys - give em a ring on 01202 820800, im sure they will give you some prices on a conversion.

 

[midge]

no views on the turbo conversion? the rtoc boys dont seem to be to impressed and say its well over priced which tbh i expected, but no one knows where to source all the parts.

 

[Dan@SJM]

well the log manifold idea is crap, the way they bodge the oil feed and return, again is crap, and for the moeny you not realy getting much of a gain.

 

[Pete]

You thought about BBPT's turbo conversion instead?

 

[midge]

too much. tbh i think im just gonna and get get the 2.0 sorted then go the na route with head work + cams e.t.c, ala nana style.

 

[Dan@SJM]

They're almost the same company, look at everything they do,but the manifolds again are crap.

 

[MATT BLACK]

BBPT offers some awesome conversions - speak to andy for any info

Dont waste your money just get Supercharged CTR engine or a mitsi EVO engine (maybe it will take a real engineer to find a transmission solution)...

More hp potential and reliability for the money....

 

[MATT BLACK]

^^^ LOL - you talk pure s**t ^^^

 

[Andy GDI]

was a little tougue in cheek Evo......

charged CTR engines are superb...... would be fantastic to see one of those running in a clio....

 

[MATT BLACK]

EVOgone recommends DS2500 pads as well pmsl

I Like VAGE!

 

[Andy GDI]

Lol, Ajr!

 

[Andy GDI]

adds foilage(sp) to the area

 

[Ali]

Would a B18 fit? Vetex are best for superchagers too. Forget jackson.

 

[BenR]

If your swapping in a Honda, stick with the K.

 

[Ali]

K20a?

Don't we all....so long as it's not road kill (laughter)

 

[BenR]

K20a?

Yup, i'd put it out there in the top 5 or 6 4cylinders engines out there at the moment.

 

[Neil G]

Definately

Avec a Gruppe M IK and full 4-2 manifold. Mates deecee5 ran 235 on the rollers with just the IK.

 

[BenR]

well, kinda.......honda bhp figures dont follow the lines of the rest of the world........i'm always battling against the honda BHP which seems to be about 10% higher than other cars lol.......its all the influence from the states.

True, they can make 240bhp in a well built grpN engine, but honda tolerances from the factory are bar none, the best....so blueprinting doesnt do much per say.

 

[White16valver]

What about a 172 conversion? Not sure on the price on that but I heard Nick Hill has been working on one

 

[FlamingMonkey]

I'm currently working on fitting this engine to the Williams. Gonna take some welding but I should have it finished for the new season.

 

[BenR]

come on, lets not go back a few steps.........people were talking of the vag engine a few mins ago............
