mvaux kits

[tony k]

anyone bought one of these turbo kits as looking around to get a new manifold and turbo www.mvaux.com (http://www.mvaux.com/)

[olix99]

aparently its a good idea to have the faces of the manifold skimmed to level them off before fitting as they are usually a bit warped

although from what ive herd the rest of the kit is pretty good for the price

The kit is pretty much the manifold & blower.

Some of them have been reported to not have true faces on them. This has scared some people into bad mouthing MVAUX. If it were me I'd go ahead & use it anyway, obviously skim the faces. You wont get a turbo & manifold from the UK anywhere near that price.

The other bits in the kit are some pipes & fittings to sort the oil feed, a dual rate FPR to bodge the fuelling & thats about it.

Personally I'd have the manifold & turbo, some pistons to drop the CR properly & source an intercooler & management system from the UK.

What are you thinking of putting the kit on?

[tony k]

Going to put it in a nova

[Gunzi]

Which engine?

[craig green]

Ffs!

Going to put it in a nova

LMFAO! We already guessed that, but what engine lol lol

[olix99]

lol oh dear - i assume it will be either a 1.6 8v / 1.4 16v / 1.6 16v - as this is what the kit is suitable for....

please tell me its not going on a 1.2

please tell me its not going on a 1.2
Why not, a turbo'd 1200 would RULE :cool:

They do a kit for literally most GM engines & FORDS & VW flat 4 Beetles.

A 1200 turbo might just out accelerate a std 1600 8v LOL.

[olix99]

lol MIGHT and JUST are the key words there :D

i am very much thinking about using this kit on a C16SE, should be a good laugh to suprise a few of the chavs around my end lol

[tony k]

Yeah its for a 1.2 only joking its for a c20let my engines being built now for 350 brake or more just looking around for a new turbo unit

[Stuart]

get on vauxsport and have a read in the turbo section... tons of info etc there as a 350bhp build is pretty much a "standard rebuild" for them.

i bought 0ne few weeks bk and after about 8 wk it turned up. took it to jamsport who are fitting my engine and they said the manifold and dwn pipe were crap and waste of money. they did look abit tacky. i also got stung an extra 140quid for export charges. i bought the full c20let 350bhp kit for 674 the got stung on import.

[Stuart]

that is still damn cheap for a 350bhp "kit" though..... you try buying all the bits in the UK for that..


oh and bin the text typing bobby

[tony k]

getting a manifold off beardy on migweb and a turbo from america the turbos a gt28rs getting it for $425 plus $150 to ship it works out to just over 300 i thnk dont know the currency at the mo

[Stuart]

[tony k]
