Hi all,

Wanting to spend silly money on the williams but dont know whether to go for a turbo conversion or tune the nuts off it and keep it naturally aspiarted?? Anyone know what sort of power each would bring??

Go for Turbo IMO

ITBs, cam work, head work etc and good brakes and suspension IMO.

Lol. This doesnt help me decide. What do you reckon would be better for the engine and reliability? Or speed?

I worked out that the turbo conversion would be cheaper than throttle bodies. Dont know what sort of gain I would get out of throttle bodies..anyone?

itbs would be more reliable, and cheaper than a turbo conversion

 

[DanClio]

How much would a throttle body conversion be?? Worked out i can do a turbo conversion for around £2000 without changing internals. This would see about 210BHP, Does anyone know what sort of power the throttle bodies would run?

if you turbo it without changing to low comp forged pistons your asking for trouble

 

[rory182]

turbo conversion for £2k is not going to be reliable power...

ITBs could return not far off 210brake I imagine when coupled with decat and other mods...

if your wanting turbo work, DONT get a "kit". the engine needs to be redeveloped to work properly with forced induction, NOT a sandwiche plate and crappy turbo header.

as always, totally depends on your budget....

NA..cams, headwork, itb's, decent rebuild (nicely toleranced) with forged rods/ high cr pistons, nice airbox, decent exhst manifold.....this will see 220-230bhp+ depending on actually spec of above components
