Sheefa Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Quick one all, I'm looking to go single early next year (need to pay for car first) and wondered about prices of parts and fitting. Can anyone give me a breakdown of turbo type, total price to fit incl other parts and labour and estimated BHP increase? I'm ideally looking for a mid-turbo generating around the 500BHP mark. Cheers all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURT Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 £15,000 for a top end single turbo conversion this is around the right price if going from almost stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURT Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 yeah really??? how can you do it that cheap fella. i would have thought that £5k would have been the cheapest route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 really?? Guess it all depends upon if you are happy using 2nd hand bits or you want brand new stuff? Most of the bits ive bought for mine are 2nd hand, but all in excellent condition, so far ive bought, a Phr t61, intake pipe +filter, single manifold, hks 50mm wastegate, greddy 3row + piping which has cost me a total of £1200, ive still got to buy oil feed pipes, clutch, map ecu + harness and injectors, so theres another £1200. plus plugs, full service on car etc Ill be fitting it all myself, so all ive got to do then is get it rolling road tuned for say.. £400 ish. so my total will be about £2600:D Hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatom Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Go to Vortex Power mate. Terry is very helpful and the Boostlogic line of parts they do covers your needs from every angle as far as the mechanical side of things is concerned ie Turbo, manifold, wastegate, injectors, piping, filters etc. Saves you a lot of time and headaches searching around different places for bits and bobs on your list. As far as fitting goes, Phoenix are just down the road and Mark there is a top fella and mechanic to boot! In fairness and with all due respect to them, I havent tried Envy, MKivStore, Chris Wilson or Whifbitz for their fitting skills (although I hear good things about them all), but they are very reliable for parts and can almost certainly get whatever it is you need and offer very good technical advice. This I have tested. As for the others, dont bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'd have 5k min ready. To do it even half arsed. Oh and of course I'd use Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 To do it properly comes to around £7000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Can't tell anyone too much at the moment as it's still being finalised but i'm going single using a kit Paul Whiffin is putting together for me which could be of interest as it's going to be very competitively priced!! If peeps can wait a week or two i'll be able to give some feedback on how it performs innitially and will update the thread every so often to let peeps know how it's all been running etc. Based on a GT35R but aiming for somewhere between 550-600HP with very quick spool up times.

lockys96 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 sell up, and buy a single turbo car, lol, thats the cheapest way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 agreed with martin about 7k-8 maybe a little more, thats what i've spend since she's been off the road and she's about ready just waiting on a few more bits eta 2 weeks now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 From my current BPU spec it going to cost £4k minimum to get to fully running on a good turbo and mapped with an emanage blue. Thats with using some cheap parts and fabricating parts of the manifold, downpipe and dump tube myself. Using speced parts like the BL kit I need to add £1.5k to that. To go to standalone ECU at least £2k again. So £7-8k is guide price for a decent single conversion. If you want to do it properly then double that.

I have been quoted lets just say a sum considerably less than 2k for an AEM supplied and fitted plus mapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 agreed with homer alot of places would charge around that with a high end standalone fully tuned etc but as you say if you shop around as such you can get much better probably more near 1.5k for that maybe a tad less. gamer 50p you can't even get a hairdryer from argos for that let alone tesco value ones would make monster power for sure with a blue peter intercooler too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about a full custom map. There's no point going standalone otherwise (No disrespect to turbofit, the prices are extremely competitive and if the mapped is who its said to be then should be a good one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
