aye seen it mate, needing someone that can rempa my standard ECU atm

only ever supercharge if your an engineer because you need to make a load of your own brackets, mountings, pulleys, flanges etc... can be costly

Hmm flange...

Can't you just spend the money on a fast turbo'd car out the factory? Then spend more money making it quicker? :doh:

 

[Brin]

we love a bit of flange

you going to pay for my insurance on an evo?? its cheaper to turbo convert and insure a car fully declared than buy one already turbo'd from factory

am i right in thinking you claimed to once have a cinq turbo? if so wether you built it or not did you not look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the exact same question?

if we followed your concept and if it wasnt for VA or people like me you wouldnt have 1.1/1.2 8v turbo FIAT's..we would all just buy factory 1.4 8v turbo GT's and buy all the same off the shelf items to bolt onto it

then you would blend in with every tom, dick and harry ahaha

whats the comparison with a VXR?

 

[Brin]

same story tbh conversion insurance isn't much more for me but buying an actual turbo car seems to be mabe because of the desire of them more chance of broken windows more expensive parts used to build them...suspension interior trim etc..

VXR are very expensive

 

[Brin]

Z16XEP...yep im at it again haha

hopefully get some good power, port polishing, multi cut valves, cams, vernier pulley etc...

Twinport bout to kick in yoooooo ahaha

 

[ysidfa]

You bought a new head to port&polish? Not bad

the LCD screen uses around 30 LED's which are PLCC-4 was a right mission doing it bloody hardest one iv done the contacts are so close together and hard not to solder them together :/ but iv done it all

Finally figured out how to remove the LCD screen ribbons



ignore the saw it was not needed ahah!

So.. How long will it be before we see a new 1990's style fibreglass dash with extra space for more blue LEDs?
