[Sunglasses_Ron]

That's f**king lovely!!

 

[TTrev]

nice ..bet its ballistic

 

[Detail Chris]

10k!!

 

[leeroybrown]

I wonder how Turbotrophy is getting on with his, Steve from Sunderland - His is supposed to be the DADDY, not seen it in a long time

 

[aucky]

Tasty.

Ten Thousand Pounds though?

 

[Harbinger]

Probably worth that tbh, 5K just for a crap trophy, bits alone worth well over that, ECU separately will fetch a tidy sum.

 

[Dave..]

Very nice. Maybe 4 years ago, 10,000 would have been reasonable. Not now though.

slowly, but should do 190mph when finished

 

[leeroybrown]

Haha thats what I like to hear

I've not seen it kicking about Sunderland for about 2 years now. The silver intercooler was a give away though on it :rasp:

 

[Laine_16v]

400ftlb on megane rods, and people thought i was takeing risks at 300!

 

[Rob Clark]

excuse me how much (power)... hmm thats local so might go have a look

 

[Ocrlew]

Hmm that's not far from me!! 'Calling bank to check i have enough funds'

Might be why it's covered a few hundred miles in 2 years as he puts it. probably about to die.

 

[Rich..]

I'd love that, but not for £10k

 

[MG cup]

Not in to this CS 'boost' lark but that makes me want to rake the piggy bank. Not for 10k though

 

[Harbinger]

Wife says I can Turbo mine anytime I want........... if I sell the Caterham which she despises.

Would love to have a go in a boosted one, doubt anyone is willing to part with the keys for 10 mins.

 

[George182]

The helix clutch is only rated for 230lbft of torque!

 

[Chi]

Must be pricey, I'm not even tempted

Take mine for a spin if you ever see it...

 

[imprezaworks]

He's serious too lol ^^

 

[Edd]

You'd expect the brakes to have been upgraded.

Pretty sure they are forged as they are from ktec

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

300 miles in two years? To me thats a pointless exercise.

 

[banther]

Probably spent £20g at KTEC.

 

[Chi]

If I was gonna turbo a trophy it wouldn't be a 34k one

 

[scotty2hotty81]

If you look close enough you can see the gearbox whimpering.

 

[James Mk1]

What gets me is how the power just plummits after 5.250 rpm? Is this normal for this kind of build? Seems odd!

 

[Laine_16v]

Its ultimately still a small turbo so it just doesnt have the lung capacity to flow large amounts of air and hence dies off at high rpm. But its very effieicnet at low RPM, twin scroll, fast spooling e.t.c that gives it ridiculous torque low down.

 

[Fletcher]

This.

10k no thanks.

 

[Gray]

I am pretty sure the guy used to be on here... His name is Darren and he lives in Ilkeston, mates with John182rs.

Originally that engine in his tatty Ph-2 172 iirc?

EDIT: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/member.php?38801-DMS this is the guy who I was thinking of.

I could be completely wrong and there could be two high powered 1*2 turbos in the same County and same owner name?

 

[r0ss172]

My Turbo Cup is forsale for less than half the price of that, and all it needs is a few hundred quid throwing at it to get it to 300bhp. I think 10k is steep personally.

Its not a Trophy though i admit...

 

[Chi]

Keep it and finish it off. If you have to start from scratch it will cost you loads more and the time and effort. .

 

[leeroybrown]

A little more infp on the owner and car

i brought the car off Darren stone, it was in a sorry state and I had to rebuild the engine on it for mine.

​doubt it's him as he sold his original 172 due to lack of funds.

AHHH... that's that cleared up

That was a K-tec built engine wasn't it?

According to that thread he has done all the work himself?

​Good job.

 

[Dave H]

Must be lots of fun on a quiet road...and in the wet !

 

[LiamR172]

Lol @ 10k.
