ben_stevo is getting his fitted now mines the next one due in after that mate give him a bell like fred said
Herr Flick
aka Herman Ze German
what sorta money does one of these cost roughly??
you won't get anything on here sonas i said, call him
I know dude i just wondered if anyone had one on their car and had put pics up at some point in the past.

My cars there now should be done soon! As for pricing call him, dont want to name any prices on here, if your genuinly interested give him a bell!
White Evo V
Yeah apart from pauls mines the first one to be done!
And as for posting up prices there is no finalised price yet, as you probably know mine is the 1st one and Paul is still finalising prices on certain parts! Once mines done and finshed I'm sure there will be a finalised price.
Instead on supercharging the 197 just buy a megane 225 engine and bang that in, almost a direct fit, alot more reliable and easily tunable for big power. Plus itl save you cash over a charger I reckon!

Yeah but you dont get nowhere near 250bhp! Id rather pay an extra £1000 for a supercharger. ITB'S sound awesome but just doesnt compare to the sound the engine makes with the charger, you have to hear it to believe it!
How much did you expect it to be when the charger alone is £1750!
Pauls kit is over £1000 cheaper than 'other' companys supercharger kits.

No pics as yet, just got the car back today! Some will follow soon.
I have to say though the car is awsome! Pulls perfect, runs perfect etc....
I am very very impressed with it, by far the quickest thing I have ever driven! Really pins you in your seat in every gear, 250bhp 200lbft. The power delivery is so good, hardly no spin, no lag, no flatspots, just power on tap there straight away! I am so glad I went with the supercharger and not ITB'S! Really am! It is a true testament to Paul and to what he can achieve!
Pauls kit is awesome too, Custom alloy Radiator, intercooler and oil cooler all built into 1 unit, it looks so neat! My favourite part of the conversion really! I have been driving it tonight and everytime I put my foot down I have a huge smile on my face. The sound is amazing, popping, flames, chattering, whining! God this thing is a monster!
Also btw its approx £4k inc vat!

Is it all finished now ben? Whats it running?
RS RIP
can somone give me a link as i cant seem to find this on rs tuning
THis is actually pretty much coming out of a developement phase , these/this are/is the first customer(s) driving around with one of these. Project has been going on for i think about a small year now . I think once they have done a couple of cars and sorted out the time needed for mounting and final costs of all brackets (production-wise made ) then they will advertise a price me thinks
im next for the conversion i cant wait i hope i`m as chuffed as ben it sounds awesome

Yeah this kit is just out of development as franx mentioned, my cars all done now just running a temporary air filter for now until ITG deliver the proper one next week. It has taken a while for mine to be done, parts were under development for about 5 months for my car and my car has been down there for about 6 weeks. I think now paul has all the mock ups for the parts and all the sources he needs I reckon he could fit these kits in a week or two?
Power is exactly:
247.9 bhp at the flywheel
208.5 bhp at the wheels
200 lb ft of torque
but there is some more advansing to do on the mapping
A guy in a Focus ST tried having a go at me today, left him for dust on the dual carriagway. He stopped at the lights and put his window down and his words were 'Jesus whats in that!' He was running just shy of 300bhp too! He still had no chance! Quality!

Glad you are enjoying it mate
I think you should seriously be looking for new rubber now
For anyone interested the kit will be £3500+VAT unless anything major comes up on the filter side! (or anything else that needs adding/changing)
This is drive in drive out which includes custom mapping on the stock ECU. The car drives like a stock 172 until you want the power and retains ALL standard safety features such as slow know correction, closed loop control, abs, traction etc etc. No lights on the dash because sensors are missing
This conversion is for all PH1 and PH2 172's and 182's. Non AC Cup cars may be more expensive as the bracket is designed based on the AC bracket.
