Rob_Mitchell Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 yes n/a at the moe . if you aint much money then rule the na-t route out and just get a TT engine/gearbox dropped in her for about £2500 (i think)... but thats not for a manual.

Homer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 £2.5k isn't enough to do the conversion unless you are doing the work yourself and using cheap and nasty componets or buying 2nd hand. There are absolutely tons of threads covering this already, have a search and you'll find all your answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 you can do mods to make it BPU which gives around 380-400bhp. Do a search on here mate there is sssoooooooooooo much information. Atleast you got a rough price to save your pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are absolutely tons of threads covering this already, have a search and you'll find all your answers I reckon I could single one for that or less:rolleyes: In fact if I can find a cheap man NA I may do just that, project 11 secs for under 2.5K;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Problem is you always want the front mount, de-cat's, exhaust etc etc. Yeah that it mate, so yeah allow few grand more.. should have done that myself ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ah, I take back my comment, NA-T isn't being indexed (maybe not added after the forum upgrade). Can't even find the threads myself now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT conversion gives more power, a better base and more cost effective long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't be a XS power kit:eyebrows: Looks like I may have to just make a dudenstein monster to prove a point, after all everyone told me I was mad when i said I would make your silver car run 10's and win something at TOTB;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so easy when you are an owner who is looking to have this work done. Case and point is the valve stem seals. You reckon 1k is cheap for the labour required in that job. If that's the case then what would the labour be to supply and fit what you have in mind. I would guess that part of your build would be checking the condition of the engine which I was told would be about 1k. If you think you can supply and fit reliable N/A-T, drive in drive out conversions, for 2.5k then I reckon you may well be onto something.

Homer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Some may disagree, but being in the same situation as you, I've been thinking of conversion ideas for over a year now! Rather than go into great deal, here's a quick summary: NA-T gives about 350-500bhp, will cost between £4 and 10k done properly. Issues are that the NA diff and box are weak, the 5spd is perhaps the best starting option, but there is a risk of them blowing. Also NA's don;t always come with an LSD diff or ABS, which you really should have on a 400bhp road car. NA-TT (aka TT installation) is about £3k installed. It'll give 350-430bhp with "BPU" modifications which can be done at the same time as installation. The same issues with the boxes can appear as above, but if you are starting with an auto TT auto boxes are available for next to nothing. 5spd again will be near limits, but seem to last okay with the TT engine The real benefit of the TT installation is that if you later want to go for "big" power it's a FAR better base - the sky's limit (as long as your budget is!)
