w41k3r Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 To be honest lets face it the n\a engines are pennies to buy seen loads go on ebay between £100- £300 and the conversion, Id be happy to do all the bolt on work ect other than the obvious mapping of the car as in my oppinion that is the most impotant. Sometimes i think people just make to much of a meal of it, myself i feel if i did it i would only be interrested in what the people that have done the conversion have to say as after all they have done it, but there are some people on here that are very knowledgeable and willing to help If going for average power eg, 300bhp i say just go for it as i dont see to many problems at that power level as long as its set up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey001 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just an update, got the emange blue installed today wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be to install! Spliced the wires into harness and soldered, took some pics for the next update! Needing a usb-usb support tool if anyone has one they want to sell just so I can load a map onto it???? Just waiting for a 50mm wastegate flange to be made and welded onto my manifold, so hopefully by thursday this should be ready! Got a week off work from thursday to get everything finished and back up and running. Cant wait to get everything fired up! But if anyone has a emanage usb lead please let me know!

GazzaGSi Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hope it goes well Dave, nice effort XS power NA-T kit is acceptable provided.... ...though the wastegates do seem to have issues once they get some miles on them. IIRC mine lasted about 200 before the diaphram fell to bits The replacement is still going strong now so could have just been a faulty unit at the time.

Thanks Mate, hope it lasts abit longer than 200 but I do understand this is a cheap kit! Not wanting major bhp increse tho! Yours going strong now? You got xs power kit?

GazzaGSi Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Not mine no more, sold it acouple of years ago but was fine when I had it except for the gearboxes but I new the 5spd's struggled with higher power/torque. Should have done the 6spd but couldn't justify no more money at it. Although it was an amazing drive. Yeah it was xs power kit with a t70 turbo/zex nitrous kit and afew other bits and bobs. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v376/gazza14sr/?action=view¤t=V281107_1015.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGSi Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 It was when I took it elsewhere to get put right after the bodgeartists who initially did it but thats another story with alot of history. Anyway enough of that, looking forward to seeing yours up and running!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) my wategate is still going mate , think its luck of the draw with xs power parts . for instance my turbo was fin within 2k but some people in the states swear by them after 10k ?? gazza what gear box were you using and what boost were you running. looks great Edited March 21, 2010 by dr_jekyll (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGSi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 gazza what gear box were you using and what boost were you running. looks great Standard 5 speed, uprated clutch, 1.6bar when it was sold After the first few teething problems with the na/t conversion (changed from safcII to emanage, bigger injectors, crappy xs oil lines and wastegate problem) were ironed out other than the gearbox it was excellent and looking back, regret selling although at the time I got offered a price I couldnt refuse. I had the conversion done and went a year on the xs t60 turbo at sensible boost with no problems at all and ran decent times on the strip. It was when we went for the t70 turbo/remap, higher boost and zex nos kit that started the gearbox issues. The chap that bought it new the gearbox was the week point as the input shaft let go when I took him out in it when he was considering buying it. After it was repaired he still bought it.

dr_jekyll Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 yes the input has just let go on mine so new box goin in this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Going for a 6spd conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 too rich for me at the moment mate, just another 58 going in . should be ok for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ok mate good luck with it. My advice would be to take it off the road for a little while and save for a 6spd. Although I dont know your sort of power etc so it maybe ok for awhile. I ate 3 in 2 months. Could have almost had my 6spd at that but didnt have all the cash in 1 go to pay for it all so turned the boost back down after the final one:) Every time it went was on boost in 5th.

dr_jekyll Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 im only low boost , low 300s this one has lasted a verry hard 2 years and it was whining alot before i put the turbo in so a box in good condition should last long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
