H5 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Enter Captint and co...... Plenty of people have done this sort of thing, someone will be along with a list soon I'm sure. I think there was an offer on here recently of a single turbo for £4195 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I wish i had £8k to make mine faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have no personal experience on this, but for that amount I'd say SC. If you haven't got the budget for the internal work needed (imo) to run twins relatively safely, the safest option is a SC. afaik no known failures of Vortech (the best SC option imo) in the UK.

captint Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well its really dependant what you want Cheapest option I'd say is to go Plenum, Zorst, Utec, brakes and sus, I reckon you could do this for £5k probabley 20 hP more, but much better handling and brakes will make a hell of a difference Second Option all in APS single turbo, which I think you can do for £5195 with WRC, thats all in on the road. I would always say do brakes and clutch, but not everyone agrees Or You could Go Vortech S/C buy your parts from Performance Nissan in the USA, I Reckon 6 - 7 K all in for a good tune plus all additinal parts, maybe add brakes for another grand Twin Turbo, you really need another couple of Grand at least and thats running without many elements that I would say are critical.

Removed Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 jesus mate you'd get the first NA option for way less than £5k! but yeah no major gains plus I'm convinced flirt is talking about FI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I reckon some wheels made of feathers are your best bet to improve performance Sorry I know I have been kicked by WRCT before for this, but I make no apologies, APS do not/have not/will not recommend the ST for use in the UK. By all means go against the manufacturer - some of their credibility is shot or not as depends on your point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's as maybe - but does it make sense to go against the manufacturer or rather not have their assurance to back your decision up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavtastic Sarnie we are sick and tired to read these types of comments, and blah blah blah. Imagine how offended our members who are ex-impreza owners would be reading that! remember reading a similar post from you the other day mate In Italian we have a say that goes: "predica bene ma razzola male" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 In Italian we have a say that goes: "predica bene ma razzola male" But we are not Italians (thank god ) And he was just trying to share information with a potential buyer with not as much knowledge as he in that domain, before the guy uses his hard-earned cash to pay for something which he thinks might be a "good deal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
