Did you go and look at the V6 in Oxton I posted you the link to ?? just curious if it was any good.

No mate, I think I might though..
I'll be at combe on the 27th april is my next trackday, then normally a few month through the summer although probably be less this year as trying to move house at the moment and got a lot to sort out.
Moving house is a nightmare, don't envy you that.. I think I'll take my van into birchwood they've been recommended and let them look over it and offer some suggestions.. Might be a good base to work from..
if you see a good one that you don't want yourself I'd appreciate a heads up..
can i remind everyone this is the marketplace...
Going halfway across the country and taking garages full of compressor and airtools and half a dozen cars and probably 100 spare wheels and tyres etc and god knows how many engines and other bits makes it even worse than normal sadly
Plus the chain we are in seems to be moving slowly, so I dont know yet when its all happening which is why I cant make many trackday plans in advance as I could be moving in may or june or later or not at all, just dont know yet!
Some quite useful chat about turbo conversion and prices and stuff in here, maybe it would be best if the thread was moved to somewhere that chat can carry on and he can start a new one just as a wanted ad again if he is still looking (although sounds more like he needs to do more research first anyway?)
Agreed definitely need some more research.. You wouldn't recommend the 02 KTEC then, was contemplating a drive down South..
Trophy Turbo :)
the jc5 box limits this
Only the ph2 one, the ph1 one has a taller diff so quite a few more MPH available (about 5% so roughly 7mph more if you can do 150 on the ph2 box), then its a case of bigger wheels or more rpm if you want to go faster, I went for the more rpm, lol
My mrs car can do 7500rpm in fifth (ie max the gearing out with most people's rev limiter) and thats probably just under 200bhp, but it takes a long straight to do it!
Trophy Turbo :)
at a run way 30 / 130 Day we kept going and did a GPS on the current car of 163Mph at 6900Rpm
You getting rid of the van already?

What box was that on, VAG one I assume?
carry on

172 Ben sorry ive just read your post and where this is ( sorry )
Any ways

Its ok Andy, its been moved now mate.
The VAG ratios seem quite well suited, but TBH the Ph1 ones arent terrible either.
Mine is doing 100mph at 4500rpm, and 150mph at 6750rpm which is more than I need on any uk track. And at 7800rpm its doing 173mph.
Been up knocking on the door of 170 once or twice on the old engine, but its not good for the engine to hold it flat for that long so doubt I will on the new engine, it pulls very nicely indeed to 150mph or so though, can do that in quite a small space, like straights on trackdays I mean

Wish i wasnt so hung over at bedford and gone out with you Chip when you offered... next time!
Nope love the little van...
big boost cup
More indecisive than a rabbit in head lights lol
Lol I was keen on the 385 but chip changed my mind.. Nice Trophy to tootle round in while I wait for something to come along..
No such thing as enough, Ill get shut of some of the old ones and try something new, variety being the spice of life and all that..
Clio T 314hp c43 AMG
Buy it and get someone to map it and it might last a bit longer.
You are in a fairly exclusive club to have had the chance to come out in at bedford and turned it down, everyone else jumped at the chance TBH
Whats that mean?
F31 35d, Berlingo Na
RS2 is an engine modification. It's a air intake/plenum chamber which bolts onto the front of the engine an does away with the original intake manifold. Once mapped it can give a linear torque curve which is great for track and fast road use.
There's a group buy currently for them in the traders section. Under S & MWM.
I'm sure chip or someone else could explain it all better and more in depth

My thoughts exactly. I bet is is awesomely fast but not that engaging to drive.
Yes I agree. If I had that 385 bhp car I'd map it properly to hold onto the power longer and lose a chunk of the midrange torque too probably as over 400 seems a bit excessive. Ok in fifth though I'm sure. In fact at 70mph in fifth and floor it I bet it pulls amazingly till 120 or so.
Don't get me wrong a RS2 is a far way of a turbo build.
IMO a RS2 is the one for him, unless he has deep pockets and knows his way around a engine rebuild. Chip if I remember rightly I can remember you saying a turbo will need a rebuild around every 30-40k? Or is that just your preference. I could be mistaken however.
That ktec one has done 15k since it was built, I think it will need more money spending on it again so enough.
