Ex Spoox/Trac Prep GTi6 16v turbo - the money pit

sorry to sound like a c*nt, but that car on page 2 was never done on a 1k budget. mine has cost me in teh region of £4k so far and is only just at the stage of being mapped.
the manifold looks like a dp one which are £1k alone, then youve got downpipe, turbo, all ur custom bits like pistons (even standard j2 ones cost some money) and service parts, boost piping etc.
Plus im guessing seeing that no mention was made, it is using the standard box, which is no doubt going to explode as soon as more than 300bhp is put through so ideally an ml5t gearbox should be used as i have.

Peder is right, if you can do almost all of the work yourself or get favours from friends then a project can be very cheap, its amazing how much time and skills can cost

Just Drive It

Injectors, intercooler, pipework, map sensor, boost value, management comes to about a grand. Pistons, rods, turbo, manifold and down pipe comes to quite a bit and you still got all the little bits that soon add up.

Thats all new, injectors 200, map sensor 50, boost value 50 intercooler 100ish ecu 500 hard boost pipe 100.

Share the info how to get bits cheaper then ;-) please.

thats a shame i was hopin you could get cheap bits.

here is a 16v turbo being followed by a 8v turbo, good video, the car the camerea is in is up for sale at the moment for 2k

In my garage just now

2003 BMW M3 & 2009 L200 Raging Bull
& Audi Q5 S Line
AX stock rod & Saxo Stock rod
Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what!

all my work is custom fabricated by me or a friend on the cheap.

Still cost in the region of £200 for the manifold material and welding, £200 for a budget turbo, then you got management which your looking at £300 even for something like megasquirt, then you got boost piping, intercooler, probs another £100 or so, then you got little things such as the decomp plate, service parts.

You could probably just about do the engine side of things for £1k if you made it all yourself, but then you have got clutch, gearbox, a cheap china special turbo which will melt, not to mention all of the parts needed to fit the stronger gearbox such as flywheel, gear selector hyraulic lines for clutch etc. I bet he gets through gearboxes in that every month of so...

price breakdown on my project...

306 GTi6 Head, Turbo Bottom End + ancillaries £400

Engine rebuild components £300

S16 pistons and rods £70

Decompression Plate and sealant £160

Turbo Charger £200 (jaky chung lol)

Turbo manifold steel piping £100

Up rated fuel supply £220

Intercooler £40

Boost piping £130

Oil cooler and fitting kit £90

wastegate, blow off valves etc £130

Fabrication work i.e. welding £125

Exhaust steel pipe and system parts £200

Turbo oil lines £100

Solid Engine mounts £80

Old loom and wire to make new loom £35

Electrical Components (alternator, switches, battery, high current wire etc) £150

Gearbox, clutch, flywheel, selector £400

Driveshafts + driveshaft fabrication work £120

Pedal box with hydraulic clutch and master £270
cylinders + reservoirs

Up rated spark plugs and leads. Coil Pack £60

Thermostat adapter plate £25

Slim line Fan (52mm)£70

Brake line and fittings £45

Total £3700 (ish)

baring in mind some of those things wont be needed as mine was put into a 309 (hence the adapter plates for thermostat) but to do it properly and have it reliable the gearbox is a must in my opinion once you pass 300bhp. This means you need all the custom shafts and what not making up and as you can see i fitted an entire pedal box to support the hydraulic clutch. you could ofcourse just use a single pedal for this to save £100 or so.

yeah 8v turbo bottom end from xu10j2te. compression is disregarded as i change the pistons for s16 ones and then add a decomp plate.
final compression is 8.21:1
