The Project

[a11ova]

Well as im sure you all know, there is no such thing as tandard so i will unveal some of my plans...I plan to turn my standard sri into some serious 2.0 turbo power (300bhp ish)

:twisted: :twisted:

[burgo]

good luck then i hope you have plenty of dosh mate

[a11ova]

given myself a budget of ?3000, but i already have:

AVO Coilovers
2X Corbeau Bucket Seats
A Nova SRI (obviously)
16" Speedline Allesio 2's
Digi Dash

Think will be able to do it as im doing everything bar the welding and painting

:twisted: :twisted:

[burgo]

it still might be tight wth ?3000 mate but go for it anyway

[Rick Draper]

Just make sure you have enough cash for all eventualitys as believe me they will all happen! Also are you fitting a F28 gearbox? Rick

[a11ova]

going for an F20 to start with with a quaiffe diff. May upgrade to the f28 at a later stage

:twisted: :twisted:

[Ste_Nova]

pain to transfer diff from f20 to f28..... fit the f28 and diff and leave the power standard if thats all you can afford to do for now

[a11ova]

the engine is having stage 1 EDS software, so hopefully should be around the 250bhp mark. Also a front mount intercooler. Not definately decided on the gearbox yet, keeping my options open on that front 8)

:twisted: :twisted:

i'd listen to rick he would know

imo :roll:

[a11ova]

would appreciate any suggestions and tips. cheers

:twisted: :twisted:

[Nick]

lol you said in your insurance post your having EDS stage 3..

that is gonna cost an absolute fortune mate... listen to rick as he is currently building one.

[Mike]

aye, listen to rick! ?3000, gonna need bit more then that if u want 300bhp :wink:

[novashed]

deffo need more than 3000. you said you still have to paint it, welding thatl cost over a grand, and an LET lump about 1000. quaife diffs are not cheap, intercooler and piping, rollcage.

i priced up aN LET for the valver rebuild its simple out of my budget for 4000 to do it properly!!b and thats with me doing all the welding and painting!

whats a rough figure for yours to date rick?

Dunno dont really care, its how i wanted it and thats all that really matters.

I look at it like this and always have done, do a job properly the first time and not bodge it over and over again. Fit a F28 from the start, its the only single thing i would advise you to do if your fitting a LET (other than the usual things like, suspension, brakes, fuel pump, cam belt + rollers, water pump, injector cleaning and big driveshafts).

My mate is doing the welding, but will have to get the car painted! The three grand is meant to be covering the actual conversion and chassis work. I know its gonna be expensive tho, i aint gonna kid anyone! To complete the whole car im expecting it to be around the 5 grand figure!!

oh yeah, i have sourced a complete calibra turbo for ?500 boys so thats one less thing to worry about.

cheers for the help peeps
