well spotted that man

7th July 2005, 17:52

omg, he is a knob, well spotted guys but it is a vts! i dunno why he said that! unless you can only get turbo kits for vtr?!

7th July 2005, 18:40

i hold my hands up, he has been winding me up for last few months, it is a vtr...........

7th July 2005, 18:53

i think we'd already guessed that

7th July 2005, 22:15

knew it was!

badge it as a vtr mate.

7th July 2005, 22:22

put skyline badges on it

7th July 2005, 22:35

don't encourage him scott.

7th July 2005, 22:58

boys boys boys boys boys enough.. lol..
when the turbo is slammed in the bloody thing ill have RX-7, skyline, and allsorts of shit plastered over it yee haa...
with the turbo it may as well be a VTS so the badges are staying lads ok.. LOL ha ha

7th July 2005, 23:01

how much power are you expecting from turboing a vtr engine?

and how much are you planning on spending on the engine as it may be worth dropping a vts lump in there 1st.

7th July 2005, 23:04

just spoke to carworx today and they claim to build it to your speck... for £3000 they got a standard vtr running at 150-160 bhp... Thats what the guy tells me anyway mate?

7th July 2005, 23:06

sounds about right.

could have that or close to it without a turbo on a vts lump though.

7th July 2005, 23:15

for a bit less than three grand too.

7th July 2005, 23:40

gotta be sure of getting a decent vts engine though, i know my engine is good so ill go to the drawing board.
ill think of something chaps...
gonna see if the guy at carworx can sort a deal...
ill keep ya posted though boys... cheers...

7th July 2005, 23:44

seeing as you're gonna turbo your vtr, i'd advise having the engine rebuilt anyway even if you are leaving the bottom end standard. same if you buy a vts lump, rebuild it first ie check/replace pistons, replace oil pump/water pump and timing belt.

8th July 2005, 01:53

sounds like bullshit from start to finish

may aswell badge it up as a maserati! its obvious that its not.

as for a turbo...dont bother with the vtr lump, ur wasting ur money! wots stopping u dropping a real vts lump in? and if its insurance...i wudnt worry about that anyway!cos they'l not b too happy with the turbo anyway

so its a bit of a catch 22 buddy!

8th July 2005, 03:17

totally agree, you'll see the same power if not more by spending the same money on a vts engine and mods for that.

8th July 2005, 14:55

get aload of torque with the turbo though, so it would more than likely kill a 160bhp vts until further up if that vts had time to catch up. NA and Turbo are two different ball games but when going turbo route your into the realms of reliability problems (or even any forced induction) id check with Will if there is a clutch included with that price cos if not that will be the first casualty, also your brakes, because when you accelerate faster you need to stop faster and the standard stuff can hardly stop a standard saxo let alone a charged one.

8th July 2005, 15:05

yeah the standard brakes are pretty shite.

8th July 2005, 15:48

your being too nice about them lol

8th July 2005, 16:12

come on ppl, how will a turbo vtr be the same as a vts?! it will much quicker than a standard vts! who says hes going to stop there lads.......

8th July 2005, 16:45

he'll need to change the furio engine first...

8th July 2005, 18:30

^^^ lol if thats true

8th July 2005, 19:43

i dunno what hes chattin bout saying its a furio trim>?!

making stuff up now! what do u guys want, pull the seat covers off, that will proove of vtr trim?!

8th July 2005, 19:49

yes please

or, how about you stop the bull and start telling the truth about your car. as this thread has proven, you/your mate will be found out. no shame in owning a vtr/furio. god, there are even a few people on here who own 1.1's

shock horror.

8th July 2005, 20:25

i have a 1.1 and badladsarmy has a vts!

8th July 2005, 20:26

sorry vtr!

8th July 2005, 20:27

lol

8th July 2005, 20:58

no one said a standard vts would beat a turbo'd vtr.

it depends how much power he wants from the vtr, as a vts lump would would be my option if i were him.

8th July 2005, 21:12

i've heard somewhere before (think it was on here) that the vtr engine seems to respond better than a vts to forced induction? i agree though, i'd still go for a vts lump- bigger bhp figure to start from.

fuck it, i'm gonna stick a NASA space shuttle engine in mine and waste you all

9th July 2005, 00:07

LOL @ sean.

bit of a thread hijack here too.

9th July 2005, 00:16

just a little one</font>

9th July 2005, 00:41

and wtf is a "Tubo kit" anyway?!

don't you just love illiteracy

9th July 2005, 01:24

LOL I was going to say that it would be best to learn how to spell 'turbo' first before attempting getting one.

Only a laugh intended, no offence..

9th July 2005, 01:33

maybe we misunderstood him, and he actually wants to fit a TUBA to his car. be a change from airhorns i suppose.

9th July 2005, 01:41

LOL

nothing would suprise me these days.

9th July 2005, 22:14

sorry folks for confusing everybody it is a TURBO i require rather than a tubo my mistake.. but im sure it will give an awful lot more power to my saxo/mini metro 0.998 litre converted engine.. cant wait to race a couple of you boys.... Turbo it is.. no vts engine for me

9th July 2005, 22:22

saxo/metro engine????????????????

WTF????????

9th July 2005, 22:23

i think he having a go at us for suggestin it might have been a furio mate!

9th July 2005, 22:24

just letting u know i aint got no furio... its even worse...

9th July 2005, 22:25

but hey i guess at whatever meet it may be i guess ill leave ya both staring at my lovely rear end... lol

9th July 2005, 22:26

that'll be the rear end with the paint flaking off will it?

9th July 2005, 22:28

wtf.... OOOO the rear end that got a respray 2 weeks ago... guess you aint seen the newer pics i posted... sorry to dissapoint my friend hee hee

9th July 2005, 22:29

all been sorted mate... looks alright you know,,, did put a couple of pics on here for ya all to see

9th July 2005, 22:30

9th July 2005, 22:43

probably the latter im guessing sean lol

9th July 2005, 22:53

i must have read your mind

9th July 2005, 23:14

see clever ha... gone on you too... say something wrong about it lol

9th July 2005, 23:15

9th July 2005, 23:18

its a vtr with just a green induction kit as far as the engine goes... with made up vts badges... but hope it will be a turbo in the not too far away future...
clear things up or is there more questions lads...

9th July 2005, 23:22

only one word for that- HEAVYWEIGHT</font>

right, i'm off to look on ebay for a Tubo.

LMFBO! Â© sax-p!

at least you have been honest this time.

9th July 2005, 23:36

just one question, why badge it up as a vts?

9th July 2005, 23:38

lol @ sean and dan! u go girls!

BAD LADS ARMY....from wot ur slevvin' on about u can obviously (!) afford a turbo...so y not actualy drop a vts engine in first.... so ur delightful (!) fake badges are no longer fake. higher bhp to start with anyway, so i dont c y not if u can afford it

9th July 2005, 23:47

ooooh, listen to you Joe!

i think he should put flames on it, real ones.....

and Dan, didn't you know that if you badge your car up a model it gives an extra 25bhp accross the rev range?.
jesus i can't wait for my vts lump to arrive so i can rip twats like this apart (and the vtr badges will be stayin on).

too right i have. funny as fuck too.

10th July 2005, 00:04

lol, just noticed he's had 64 replies to his thread, but only about 4 are actually to do with the original question of a turbo conversion. that's what i call a

10th July 2005, 00:10

cant be helped.

10th July 2005, 01:24

vts should respond better to forced induction due to increased area of inlet ports with the extra 8v's, same with outlets

10th July 2005, 08:07

FUCK me didnt realise vts badges were against the law.. god i wish i hadnt bothered so sorry sean and dan for ya jealousy... scott says a VTS responds better but seanvtr81 seems to think a VTR responds better to forced induction.. o dear (TAXI and COAT seanvtr81).. sean and dan i cant think what i have ever said but you both seem to hate my car,dont agree with me on anything.. did i forget to tell you both that jealousy wont get you anywhere in life

sean and dan you are both funnny funny guys,, i like you 2 alot... dont think i have ever read either of you say a good word bout a car other than your 2 and come on???? this site is very good and has alot of good people willing to help out... sorry for spelling turbo wrong but did i really need so much shit off you both... i have posted pics and told you what i drive.... personally i think you both are very very jealous of my car, i dont know why but that is what i think... neither of you once have said u like my car.. you dont believe its a VTR well what do you want a pic of to prove it and i will do it straight away, the seats,engine or what... have a think boys and let me know,,, or if you really want to go over the top and say,,, hey nice car pal then fair enough,, up to you boys the choice is yours

10th July 2005, 13:38

you might want to untwist your knickers mate.

nope, just a first class degree from St Andrews uni mate.

and yeah as it happens i do hate your car, but only because i'm more into cars with engine mods such as gafvts's 200bhp+ 'charged vts. and my car is a 98 vtr BADGED AS A VTR. like everyone else has said, why not just put fuckin ferrari badges on it? i also don't dont like people who bullshit mate which you've done pretty much from the start.

10th July 2005, 17:12

jealous?? why would i be jealous of your car and your vts badges and you pretending its something its not.

and for your information the private plate was a present.

personally im not into bodykits and sticking badges on my car off other model saxo's.

what you mean you spend more on hair products? its not a competition mate. i couldnt care less how much you have spent on it, good for you.

one thing i am not is jealous, i have spent enough on my car to have it look like yours, but i chose not to.

and i think your wrong as on the thread with the pics of your car i beleive i said something positive about it.

10th July 2005, 18:29

i aint bullshitted any of you lads, just had a running joke with one of my pals, i havent once said anything wrong,i aint listed it as a vts,, steve did cos thats what he thought(personal joke)

you've only been on here for 6 days mate, so unless you've read every thread for the past 6months (in my case) of 2 1/2 years(in dan's case) then that's a pretty silly comment isn't it? as for not helping you, i go out of my way to help people on here because i'd expect the same in return if i had a problem, as long as it isnt about fake dumpvalves or turbo zets etc. and please, calm the fuck down, do you really wanna die of a heart attack at your age?

10th July 2005, 20:16

LOL

i think i may have pissed my panties

10th July 2005, 20:47

sean, dan, your getting very boring now............ change the subject, who cares what the 3 letters say on the side of the car, mines useed to say 1.1i and now says saxo, so am i next for the gunning?!

10th July 2005, 20:49

be off with you child.

10th July 2005, 22:22

a 1.1i is still a saxo........a vts is not a vtr

and unless your ashamed of wot u drive...y bother!

to be honest stevossaxo and badladsarmy, its not realy that much of a big deal! but...if you wana b taken seriously - ur best to tell the truth from the start

my first car was a 1.2 corsa, and yes it sucked - but i didnt badge it as gsi or a fuking lambo!

i also saw a vtr drive past me a few days ago with vts 16valve badges on...and i just thot - r u fucking stupid?! ur car has 8valves, get used to it!

you want a vts ........ go and buy a fucking vts and stop wasting peoples time sonny

10th July 2005, 23:08

aye a dont see the point in badging a car up your just going to get to made look very stupid when people find out its a vtr with vts badges on

why bother mate owning a vtr is nothing to be ashamed of

10th July 2005, 23:29

i aint ashamed of no vtr,, i love it. but having had the chance to get 2 VTS badges in matching blue to the car at a very small price i didnt see any problem with it,, i aint gonna get pissed over in any race cos i dont bother canning my car around.. The car looks the business and most people get more satisfaction out of looking at it rather than wanting to race me.
I may just tipex an R over the S later though guys LOL

10th July 2005, 23:33

Any how, Has anybody any decent advice on a turbo, carworx want my car for 2 weeks which is a bit annoying and cituning's turbo kit doesn't offer as much in terms of power.. any other companies you guys know of at all please... cheers

11th July 2005, 00:03

your better off going with will and carworx, they design the turbo round what you want, tell you why there doing what they are doing and why the advise this and that, and will is good with the spanners, 2 weeks for a turbo conversion isnt bad you know, i minor inconvinience until your smiling like a twat

11th July 2005, 00:21

2weeks is really shit-all for wot u get by the end of it

11th July 2005, 02:43

11th July 2005, 02:53

not sure if they do dedicated conversions, but if he bought the kit then i'm sure theyu'd fit it and map it for him. heard many good things about jamsport.

12th July 2005, 00:02

i will try jam-sport see what they say if not i guess ill lose the car for a bit and go with Will of carworx... Thanks guys

12th July 2005, 00:25

I woz looking on saxo sports club earlier n sum1 woz sellin a bolt on turbo for saxo vt*'s for a grand but sed sum1 wld need 2 fit it 4 ya, the guys askin £1k 4 it

12th July 2005, 14:51

have you got a link to it mate

12th July 2005, 16:15

mate, the site is www.saxosportsclub.com and it will probably be in the for sale forum

12th July 2005, 16:57

cant find it on there anywhere

12th July 2005, 22:43

search for BOLT ON and you will find it, but take into consideration that you will need the fueling side as what he has doesnt work and you will need extra injectors sorted to name but 2, as well as a clutch.

13th July 2005, 00:08

he's selling on here too.

Burtays' for sale thread.

13th July 2005, 00:49

although im sure hes put it in his mates car or another shell.

13th July 2005, 00:58

you're right actually yes.
Saw the vid of it the other day.

13th July 2005, 13:58

yup he did but hes making up kits to order for a K

13th July 2005, 15:08

minus fueling and injectors and intercooler blah blah blah, be cheaper to get one made to your car and your way IMHO.

13th July 2005, 15:15

as far as im aware ratty he was supplying just about everything turbo, manifold, boost pipes, and some sort of fueling but not 100% sure on details, but im with you i would rather do it my own way

13th July 2005, 16:52

there was a bit in the kit, and he wasnt including an intercooler so the boost pipes would be useless, and the cooler he used he had to cut half the front panel up, something that others might not want to do, this is why I suggested it would be better IMO to get one made up for your own car, as the cost would be minimal, and the turbos wouldnt be new.

13th July 2005, 17:55

Ratty just out of interest heres what he was supplying for the money:

-Turbo , T25, K16 or any other turbo you want
-Custom made manifold
-oil feed and oil return pipes
-5th enjector and its button and wires
-downpipe
-head gasket
-oil cooler kit

intercooler and pipes are included too.

Really only posting cos im skiving at work

But im with you i would rather do it myself and learn a bit

13th July 2005, 22:27

ratty and scott, you know a great deal more than me on turbo's.. he does supply an intercooler by the way,,
as i say i do have someone that would fit it for me but do you guys honestly think its worth £1000 or really not..

14th July 2005, 00:22

its coming from turkey guys, i wouldnt trust paying sum1 a k for a turbo kit then it not arriving or being totally fucked up! no offence to the guy, he may be genuine

rather get 1 from bonny england,at least you wont have any hassle if things go wrong n shit.

14th July 2005, 00:22

hard to say without having ever seen the quality of the work mate. A grand is fucking cheap though BUT depends on a great number of things

14th July 2005, 02:37

is there any qeustions worth asking the guy that could help us out.. being honest i dont understand turbo's that much but if there anything obvious to ask him,, let me know and ill get him on msn again..
thanks guys

14th July 2005, 19:36

its a no for me, it hasnt been proven or RR or even compelted and now hes selling them hmmm, goto carworx

16th July 2005, 18:47

dont buy it mate,too cheap,dont know what you are gonna get when it arrives, if they is gonna be any damage.seems dodgy mate

Carworx quoted 150-160bhp!! correct me if im worng pls chaps!!!!!

Citunings kit pushes out 180BHP YES??!

so in terms of POWER thats the better option....!

call & ask PTS (performance Turbo Systems theyve done a few conversions)

Im a fan of less is more... more just isnt less! SIMPLE

do i like the syling of you car? nope! one word "dated" just my opinion tho....

17th July 2005, 17:20

i dont seem to remember anyone giving the cituning kit a good review or good feedback, thats why ppl say go to carworx?

17th July 2005, 17:53

since when has the cituning kit reported to put out 180bhp? certainly the base conversion doesnt

17th July 2005, 19:37

cituning kit gives an extra 30bhp according to them, as its a low boost kit and doesnt contain any additional injectors or an intercooler etc, carworx kit does have 1 extra injector and has an intercooler, need I say more and its the same price at 2.5k but you can taylor it to however you want, the only thing not included in both kits which you will need is a better clutch, so add about another £300 for the Helix item and your laughing.

17th July 2005, 22:58

Ratty.
I'm needing a helix clutch for my Turbo VTR.
best place to get them ?
