if you aint much money then rule the na-t route out and just get a TT engine/gearbox dropped in her for about £2500 (i think)... but thats not for a manual.

Search mate, tt lump would be the way to go.

Thread title changed, please use a more descriptive one next time

auto is fine £2500 sound ok to me have to do some saving but i know how much to aim for thanks for that . do you know what bhp that would be ? would i have to do any more mods to the car ???

ok my bad . new and not sure what i am doing

£2.5k isn't enough to do the conversion unless you are doing the work yourself and using cheap and nasty componets or buying 2nd hand.

There are absolutely tons of threads covering this already, have a search and you'll find all your answers

you can do mods to make it BPU which gives around 380-400bhp. Do a search on here mate there is sssoooooooooooo much information. Atleast you got a rough price to save your pennies

keron does them for that (TT engine ect)

will go for a look thanks for the help

Problem is you always want the front mount, de-cat's, exhaust etc etc.

I reckon I could single one for that or less:rolleyes: In fact if I can find a cheap man NA I may do just that, project 11 secs for under 2.5K;)

Yeah that it mate, so yeah allow few grand more.. should have done that myself ha ha

Ah, I take back my comment, NA-T isn't being indexed (maybe not added after the forum upgrade). Can't even find the threads myself now!!

You might be able to and even muppets like me could do it using cheap and nasty kit like XS power, but those projects rarely end well. TT conversion gives more power, a better base and more cost effective long term.

No it won't be a XS power kit:eyebrows: Looks like I may have to just make a dudenstein monster to prove a point, after all everyone told me I was mad when i said I would make your silver car run 10's and win something at TOTB;)

so tt would be best way ??? thanks for all the help so far . love my aero just needs power and dont know where to start

With your resources I don't think it would be difficult Dude.

Not so easy when you are an owner who is looking to have this work done.

Case and point is the valve stem seals. You reckon 1k is cheap for the labour required in that job. If that's the case then what would the labour be to supply and fit what you have in mind. I would guess that part of your build would be checking the condition of the engine which I was told would be about 1k.

If you think you can supply and fit reliable N/A-T, drive in drive out conversions, for 2.5k then I reckon you may well be onto something.

TT is prob best for resale, especially in an aero.

Boostwerks kit, they seem to get decent reviews on supraforums, dirt cheap, the money to get it right would be in the fueling/ecu i reckon.

Some may disagree, but being in the same situation as you, I've been thinking of conversion ideas for over a year now! Rather than go into great deal, here's a quick summary:

NA-T gives about 350-500bhp, will cost between £4 and 10k done properly. Issues are that the NA diff and box are weak, the 5spd is perhaps the best starting option, but there is a risk of them blowing. Also NA's don;t always come with an LSD diff or ABS, which you really should have on a 400bhp road car.

NA-TT (aka TT installation) is about £3k installed. It'll give 350-430bhp with "BPU" modifications which can be done at the same time as installation. The same issues with the boxes can appear as above, but if you are starting with an auto TT auto boxes are available for next to nothing. 5spd again will be near limits, but seem to last okay with the TT engine

The real benefit of the TT installation is that if you later want to go for "big" power it's a FAR better base - the sky's limit (as long as your budget is!)
