Hi i am looking to increase the power of my 97 uk turbo. Running a sim teck ecu allready so thinking turbo change but dont have the money for a VF 34. any other ideas of wat to use and other things to do? thanks

 

how many horses do you already have? whats your spec?

 

Its 270 at the fly wheel engine should not be a problem its got forged bits and cometic gaskets should be good for 450 i think i was told guessing standard gearbox would be the limit of power with out spending big money.

 

why not go for a vf28? there good for 330bhp + and - dependant on spec but £200-£250

 

wat about injectors?

 

Injectors should be phase 1.5 440's on a v4 and should be fine
Withna vf28

 

Injectors are 380cc on a phase 1.5 uk car.

You can pick up a set of 440s for next to nothing these days as every1 who had them has upgraded

 

O and i wouldnt worry about a gearbox/clutch untill or if! It fails

440 injectors are not a lot of money as already said.
A budget of £250 for turbo and you can get something really good. VF23, VF24, VF28, VF29, VF30, VF35. You might even pick up something for £200 but you must make sure what you are buying is in good working order. With a bit of effort you can fit your own turbo and injectors but on your Classic we would charge you £75 if we did it.
If you cannot accomodate these budgets then you shouldn't be tuning your car because you could probably achieve the whole plan within £250.

 

what would the differnces be between all those turbos. my budget is not that bad just i dont afford a vf34 cos i found new ones for about a grand and cant find any second hand ones. and had heared running the power they can give the gearbox will not last and prob best ran with a uprated clutch poss even diffs thats when the money gets tight. i would rather have bit less power than a 34 can give but still drive it, rather than ahve a 34 for a few weeks then blow some thing and have it off the road.

 

A 34 will not kill any of the above.

Unless on way out already.

 

If you read what was stated by harvey earlier its simple buy a vf 23,28,or vf 30, just check the general condition,and away you go.

 

Thanks Midnight. It's sometimes difficult to help people that don't read or take it in.
