JDukesy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The difference is that you can do the work yourself and you know what you are doing whereas myself and I assume others just don't trust ourselves and normally think it is best to get a grown up..... Hence the cost. Exactly what i was just about to say. It works out cheap if you can do it yourself and buy a budget kit. However if you have to pay someone to fit it buying a budget kit is pointless as would end up spending more to get it fitted then on the kit itself... Having said that, if i can find someone to help me fit it then it may be an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) agreed, a friend of mine has gone through 3 w58's now and he's running 365bhp so by no means a large amount, I'm going to be piecing together the parts and sending my sump pan off to a friend to be tapped for return line along with a FFIM that will require drilling and tapping. He obviously has been getting crap boxes. My w58 is holding up fine at 373hp and ive given it a fair amount of abuse. Over 6000 miles of hard abuse and not one problem. can even feel the stage 5 clutchgetting worn. Ur mates box can definitely not be held as an accurate comparison to the w58s internal capabilities. Jekyl had 380 for months. welshstealth has 385 and no issues. to push the point further parry has 426bhp with the w58. your mate obviously bought boxes with no gear oil :-) An na t setup running bpu power should be fine on 99% na transmissions. the closer to get to 400bhp be aware that the quicker it will wear out as they arent bullet proof but still do well under torque a standard na t setup gives you.

Graham1984 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Haha no doubt! I can somehow not picture JP worrying about my £4.20 budget build where I need to borrow around £10 to get my fake bov and from that I need to yield roughly 1000bhp to the wheels....... It seems such a dead cert that I should race him for pink slips at supra pod. I was thinking that we should make a remake of F@F where my NA is not fast enough to catch up with the truck towing another member and if we do catch up with it I don't have a aerotop so somebody has to squeeze through the passenger window and make a daring leap...... The other difference would be someone gets to use the line "I am laying down my V5C Brian just like you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
