Going single ...... on a shoe string! - Page 2

Very nice Alex, how much have you budgeted for? After speaking with a few tuners they recommend ?6000

alex h · 23rd December 2004, 11:07 AM

So far I've spent ~5k but I had a lot of supporting items already. My mapping will be free as will be the installation.
The budget single was ?1800
ECU = ?400
Wiring Harness will be ?150 not arrived yet
Gauges, WB02 and other blingage from MVP = ?600
Injectors = ?650
RLTC - ?475 with L/C (second hand)
Various other stuff =

?
I had a pump and spark plugs, UK Brakes and an FMIC.

I've also got skirts and spats and I'm thinking about getting shocks and springs.

I get to sell...
Blitz VVTi Intake
Entire WORKING J-spec/VVTi turbo system
Spare UK calipers (already sold incase anyone wanted them)
Potentially - used Black Billie shocks and springs

So I'll get some money back but that can't be guarenteed. All in all for a Budget setup and even though I'm getting free mapping and installation. It's still a big project if you're going to do it right.

Sounds good Alex, hope it all works out for you.

Will look good

How are you getting on Alex? Have you had it on the Thor dyno yet? Mant people on this board have run their cars up on that dyno so yours on there would make a good comparison.

alex h · 12th March 2005, 04:20 PM

No dyno yet...I know it will make a good comparision but quite honestly I don't want to go all that way and then not actually believe the figures in front of me.

Sorry but all the reports I've heard have put me off. I'll go to a dyno...a local one...but not yet.

Just put the boost upto 1.2bar

she's cooking now
