the car is used regularly, but not as an every day car.... i dont really want to 'overtune' it to the extent everything starts falling apart, but still want to be heading towards 600hp, although i dont really know what sort of power i should expect!? I also dont have a bottomless bank account!:)

I'd upgrade the injectors mate, espesh if your on standard jap 440's. Go for something like PE 650's, they'll be ok. Have a look on one of the traders web sites (i've gone with BL), that'll give you a good idea about price of the kits, I think it'll be around the £2500-£3000 mark for a t67 kit.

I think the PHR is around £500-600 extra and i seem to remember reading somewhere that even Jarret said DBB is overrated in so many words!

Runs for cover :run:

 

Check Ian's thread about his REAL WORLD experience with BL NON DBB vs BL DBB...

 

There is a difference...maybe the PHR kit isn't good enough to show a difference...

Alex, once at WOT from a rolling start in the right Rev range i dont think the difference would be significant at all between the two units, obviously when at 5th gear and low revs and then going WOT the DBB will spool up quicker, but in the real world no one drives like that.

 

DBB's for autos in my opinon and the extra £ for it to be fitted to a manual does not warrant the small gains.

Well that agrees with my predictions and conclusions I wrote up when testing the two units, yes.

 

obviously when at 5th gear and low revs and then going WOT the DBB will spool up quicker,

 

Yes, but also it spins up faster at part throttle - it's much more responsive.

 

but in the real world no one drives like that.

 

I'm glad you know how I drive better than me. So in the real world everyone, every time they want to increase speed a bit, knocks it down enough gears to get over 4000rpm and hits 100% throttle? I'd hate to see you park.

 

Cruising at 80mph, in 6th, on a dual carriageway, I want to get to 90, I can just ease the right foot down and the turbo picks up a few psi and waft the speed up, even though I'm below 4000rpm. This is exactly where the DBB benefits are found, and this is called "drivability" or "tractability". This sort of driving is done in my life rather a lot more than WOT blasts from 4000rpm upwards. I'd hate to think I'm unique and everyone else is either cruising or at full boost :blink:

 

If you only ever focus on peak power and not area-under-the-graph, and you only ever use WOT above 4000rpm, don't get a DBB.

I also dont have a bottomless bank account!:)

 

I would have a serious re-think then, once the floodgates open the money get spent.....you can rack up a 10k bill no problems for a basic conversion

 

its a big bonus you have a manual I guess

 

Turbo kit will cost you best part of 3k

Fuelling etc easily 1k+

Front Mount 6-800

Mapping not to sure but would say another 1k easily

Clutch 2-300

 

Just a really rough Idea for you, you may do the work yourself or know people in the trade so good luck you, but its expensive as I am finding out.....im doing it bit by bit at the mo to try and offset the cost

#

Speak to other on here that have done it themselves for a better idea :)

stick with a T61, or T67.

 

Its going to cost you an easy % grand if you want to do it right, be warned :blink:

im on 3grand, ive not bought fueling (1grand) or a clutch yet (£600), and alot of my parts are not brand new.

you can get 600bhp from a t61, easy, aslong as you have decent fueling etc.
