Re: mintys 172 turbo

Can you not get a better joiner here? Looks very squashed from the photo.

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: mintys 172 turbo

This is the very kit I'm looking into having on mine. Is that 3k including fitting? Look forward to seeing how it goes, nice one

It's just over 3k including fitting

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Looks good mate, I had a look at the ED turbo set up before I decided on the a supercharger, install looks nice and tidy.

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

f**k sake and i thought i was going to be the only one with a turbo'd silver cup! damn you!

Very nice

What engine management does it run? Figures did it make? What turbo, what boost level e.t.c? Thanks

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

Looks tidy! What's the heat resistant plate, looks decent?

Would have helped if i had read the whole of page 2 properly!

What PSI is the turbo set to for their low boost conversion? Any vids? (please )

Re: mintys 172 turbo

I like ed products, but they do seem to pick bhp figures by rolling dice.
Only 18bhp more from a turbo than they used to quote for a set of cams. Lol.

Anyway, figures are just for the pub so it doesn't matter really. Car is looking good so far.

do they actually have the ability to map it or are they farming that out?

Re: mintys 172 turbo

id did read they do a 230 and 280 package

Their youtube videos suggest it is farmed out to EFI parts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuO1Fu5gP-M

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 unsure.
Yeah i agree figures are for the pub, power to weight is my friend!!
i will be using and uploading videos of the go-pro at the weekend for you all.
thank you all for the feedback, stickers being removed tomorrow

3k for 230bhp JESUS CHRIST!

Weve just done our mates £1900 = 340Bhp :/

1900 including parts/labour/mapping?
Wow, thats a bargain, unless your time has no value?

Yes, I time has no value it was for a friend. mates dont charge

You are missing my point mate, I just think your post isnt very helpful in terms of making 3K from a company sound like a bad deal just because if you have all the skills to do it yourself you can do it for less.

I charged zero to build porkies engine recently for example as he is a mate, including mapping it afterwards, but I wouldnt **** off a company for charging someone a fair price for doing the same work on someone elses car.

I bet you dont go into a restaurant and say "feck me 12 quid for a meal, I can make one at home for 1.26"

Did you use all new parts and what did you do, Turbo a 1*2 or was it a Meg conversion.

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

I also had my clutch changed and piston rings aswell as shells. I thought it was a good price!?

Sorry as Chip says i forget about labor!! The price of parts along will be about 2k so it is a good price.

Sorry my post was sort of half arsed! and really not applicable not really of any positive or negative use.

All i was really saying its a lot of money for the Power, but the lads at EDynamics are nice lads and of course need to charge labour to make a Business.

Hey well done sorry if i seemed Negative not intentional

Weve done a Megane Converstion with Uprated Intrernals and a Gt28RS

very hard to get a photo of the oil feeds, but got the one of the connector there

No silly stickers!!

Re: mintys 172 turbo

LOl at the op trying to slate the company for charging 3k !

I could get my clutch changed by billy bob down the road, he charges less than a garage doesnt give receipts but hey its cheaper ! Business need to make money or else whats the point in being in business!

3k is a fair price and well done on taking the decision on that ! If I had 3k its something I would love to do but not sure I could. Nice 172 and hope it all goes ok and runs in well !

Re: mintys 172 turbo

looks so much better without the stickers whats it like to drive? What sort of torque figures you running?

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Re: mintys 172 turbo

You can't really compare a engine conversion to a turbo conversion. I am going to do mine myself but it still won't be cheap

What about a turbo engine conversion?

Yeah, scoff doesnthe plug andnplay mapping for these conversions. He was working on it when mine was at his getting mapped.

Good conversion mate!

Good deal if you made it with that amount of money! Incl. Management? Forged rods and pistons? Exhaust, clutch etc?

I do like their Vbanded downpipe, cool stuff.

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???
