Noz Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They always label things cheaper allowing for tax dodge. My ECV came and was labeled as $5 worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 What about import tax? Anyway the reason why I was here to originally comment was to say great thread, it gives morons like myself and many others on here a nice in-depth view on the process ect, how long did it take to do this if you don't mind me asking. Thanks mate, yeah you don't pay tax on commercial samples or very little just saying lol. It took me and a friend 2 nights after work and I drove it home the 2nd night but I had everything ready to go on. Not too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Really really want to go down the NA-T route but wish I could do the work as don't have the money to pay someone. Best keep saving! Just go for it yourself, it's the best way to learn! Yeah you might make some mistakes but what's the worst that can happen, you can pick up a second hand NA motor for £150-200 if the worst dose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenlee1981 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Is there a list anywhere of exactly what I need to buy so I can pick up things as I go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 In my opinion if your car is the manual gearbox and you want to make sure you modify the oil return safely into the sump pan, and to change the clutch, which is essential, and to fit other bits whilst the engine and gearbox is removed, is the only way to go. I accept that doing this in your driveway is not really safe or practical, but if funds are low and you are determined to have a go, then, good luck. You will save £800 ish on labour, also, what about the most important thing, the mapping and testing ! ! without this bit you could be wasting fuel, burning out valves if she is running mega weak, and the pain of not knowing if she is running at the optimum settings for BHP and engine longevity. I would sooner save up longer and make sure an expert does the conversion, experience is the main thing IMHO, you learn the hard way and you cannot find a substitute for it, i am a HND mech & electr. engr, but as i just said, it's the knowledge and experience which matters, no way would i consider a DIY in my driveway. herbiemercman.

Noz Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 herbiemercman. You're writing technique makes it so difficult to read, I actually gave up and skipped a bit. Plus I also HND in mechanical engineering, I topped it up to a full BSc, doesn't make me a tuning god. I've never seen someone DIY fit an exhaust manifold and burn out valves. Anyone can fit a turbo kit, just make sure you get decent parts and it mapped properly. Wish I'd fitted my own really. But then, I'm lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysdan Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I've notice that most people do all the ic pipe work in 2.5" is there a reason for that or could it be done in 3" is it just a case of space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think space is the main reason, im going to be using 3" pipework on mine....pretty sure berg did too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yep 3" is achievable I ran 3" piping with the na intake manifold and now with my ffim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysdan Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oh good as mine is all 3" anyone done the dizzy delete? As it gets inway of the Turbo induction pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Why 3" ? What are the advantages ? from my experience the pressure drop must be minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
