    if your wonting to ad bodies mate you will also be best adding some cams and having it mapped, either standalone ecu or have standard ecu mapped at chipwizards, cant remember how much colin charges off hand

    i seem to think the colin stachell kit is roughly £500-£700 region??

    pretty much includes everything, air filteretc, even an adapter to accept the stock fuel pressure reg, which is a nice touch. just add a universal throttle cable kit (around £14) and youve throttle bodies on your car

    yes you can pick the bodies up on ebay for around £75-£115

    tip: make sure the TPS sensor works!! these are very expensive to buy from suzuki!

    you then send your bodies off to colin satchell, and he carries out any modifications and makes your kit.


    you will require ecu reflash, or better still, stand alone and map.

    i seem to think we priced up this conversion supplied fitted tuned with catcam 708s and omex 600 ecu for around £2800-£3000 region.

    turbo rough prices:

    stage 1 parts kit around £6000 + vat (250hp) (non forged engine, GT25R)
    stage 2 parts kit around £10,000 + vat (300hp) (forged engine, GT28RS, BE kit etc)

    these are made up from the parts on our site, all high quality parts (no cheap sh*t!) from brands such as DP-engineering, omex, helix, garrett, catcams, wiseco, pro alloy etc.

    I personally would just buy a set of new specific car bodies but thats just me.

    You can also run andys predator ecu on the saxo/106 which will mean a car up and running for circa £1500.

    andys ecu is where you save the money, its cheaper and plugs into the stock loom so no paying for expensive loom mods/new loom.

    He has his own section here 'datashift'

    £1500 is on stock cams as a rough estimate btw, you wont get the best out of bodies without going wilder cams really.

    Sandy Brown/Colin Satchell prices for GSXR1000 bodies are:

    Inlet manifold custom made, custom trumpets, second butterflies removed and spindle holes plugged, pico injector modifications (if needed), fuel rail and FPR modifications = £550

    ITG sausage filter and base plate modifications = £125


    So a direct to head kit for £675 inlcuding a filter! Only thing that needs doing is splicing the TPS wiring in and fixing the bodies to the head! Also need a longer throttle cable (£10 ish)



    I have a set of GSXR1000 K1 bodies sat doing nothing....PM if your interested

    no not really? somebody asked about bike bodies specifically, so an answer was given directed around using bike bodies.

    The AT Power kit that GMC sell is a very good kit, even uses stock throttle cable etc, so is very well developed and an easy install.
