Any second hand Turbo setups available for sale around Sept?

[aaronjb]

Rather pay and play if there is such a solution.

If you really mean that then forget your £2500 budget and go TTE Turbo.. it's as close as you're ever going to get to fit & forget..

Or I guess sell up and buy an off the shelf TTE 2nd hand.

This is all sounding very familiar!!   s:( s:(  

Exedy organic clutches again. AAAAHH!!   s:) s:)  

Joke aside i know it's going to be expensive. If Mark thinks the clutch should be ok and presuming the clutch does not have to be part of the dismantling time i may stick to the OE clutch for now and replace when/if the OE wears out.

 I don't know much about the bracing side of things so i'll have a read on the forums.

Forgot to mention the car has only done 35k so presume the clutch should be quite good, albeit, a little weak for a turbo.

As for Spyderchat, cheers Tem, but i've now managed to register.

Excellent and informative thread.

Jam1e, are you also considering 2zz conversion options, or have you ruled that out?

[markiii]

now that we have swapped a coupel of gearboxes, I realise teh clutch is no big deal at all

all of teh work is dropping teh box. So yes keep the clutch till it dies

Hi Ernie,

I have had a think about the 2zz and read up abit on hear, but again i don't have to much knowledge of the conversion. In principle, imho, if i sell my engine and buy the 190 bhp model there should be little in the way of costs other than the engine swap.

I thought it was just a straight swap of the "Lumps" and maybe the ECU, but it would appear not so straight forward?

Correct me if i'm wrong?

I will have a complete PE setup for sale at about that time.
As a basic, it will comprise PE turbo, downpipe, Top Secret decat pipe, all pipework, chargecooler, pump + rad + all plumbing and fully mapped (by Thor racing) Apexi Power Fc ecu and Blitz 525cc injectors.
Ther will also be a 1ZZ engine and 6 speed gearbox up for grabs with just over 18k from new on them.

Sounds good Nigel, excuse my ignorance, is a charge cooler the same as an intercooler?  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

Secondly, what BHP was the kit producing on your MR2?

Thirdly, can you send me a PM to give me an idea of what you want for the kit?

unless we have very different tastes I suspect your shocks are fubared

Hmmm. I know the front shocks were replaced under warrenty a year or so back for some reason. Perhaps the rears need changing now! I'll get someone knowledgeable to have a look at the Essex meet tomorrow.

Not sure how old the TTE springs are.... I have a folder full of receipts so I can dig those out.

it is, a standard setup normally uses an air to air radiator to cool the compressed turbo air before it goes into the engine, a chargecooler uses water to cool the air (air to water) before circulating the water back to a radiator at the front of the car where its cooled

could spend a weekend swapping it wholesale from one to teh other then  :-) :-) :-)

[Ernie Ball]

Correct me if i'm wrong?

I'd be the last guy to be in a position to correct anyone on anything engine related.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    I'm learning from the real masters around here...

The appeal of the 2zz option for me (not that I'll be doing it any time soon) is precisely that it avoids what Dan was talking about: the endless fiddling and tweaking.  Some guys like that sort of thing and I probably would if I had a garage.  But for plug and play options, it's even better than the TTE, tho without the warranty protection.

Rogue do the swap for £1,400, if you provide the engine and ancillary bits.  Could come out close to your target price...

Myself, I'm secretly hoping my engine explodes so I have to do the swap.  s:) s:)

hope this helps you visualize things

Crikey that sounds alot of dosh for a swap!!  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

Am i right in presuming the engines (140bhp and the 190bhp) are a straight swap along with the ECU, i.e no fiddling with wiring and the like??   s:? :? s:?

simple, but no not that simple

lets keep that for another thread though

[Anonymous]

Here's a spreadsheet I made up a little while ago - might make you think about the odd extra bit you'll need, and it also highlights the cost difference between going all-out and going for a kit:

Cheers Aaron  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

[aaronjb]

Bear in mind that those costs are quite particular to my individual goals  s;) s;)

For example you can drop the cost of the high flow CAT off if you get a kit which includes one, heck if you run the PE kit as it comes you can drop the cost of injectors, CAT, intercooler, engine management, clutch.. you just bolt it on - won't get you to 250bhp like that, though  s:) s:)

[markiii]

PE won't get you to 250bhp anyway

but I doubt 90% of people would be happy, Nigels above is certainly thebest of teh PE breed

Well, you could easily swap up to a bigger PE turbo  s;) s;)  But yeah, good point.

And I think you meant "I don't doubt that 90%..."  s;) s;)

[markiii]

I did yes

[Anonymous]

Had a few PM's with Nigel.

The PE kit sounds what i'm looking for.

Think i would be happy with around 200 bhp if i didn't need to keep lifting the "bonnet" every few days.

I've arranged to meet Stevej this evening so will have more of an idea wot 200+ bhp feels like.

If i were to buy Nigels kit, does anybody have an idea how much i would be looking at to have it installed?

Cheers

Jamie.
