ChrisH Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Well, finally decided to bite the bullet, splash the cash and go for a turbo to NA conversion. When I have my NA engine in does anyone think I can sell my 550 bhp T61 single turbo engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Well, finally decided to bite the bullet, splash the cash and go for a turbo to NA conversion. I personally would have gone for a NA to turbo conversion, but going from turbo to NA sounds fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisH Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I thought it might be easier the drive around in the snow - not that we get much snow here on London! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I assume you'll running without wheels and tyres too, in order to cut down rotating mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 No, but I might hammer some nails through the tyres for extra grip anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I found my NA quite tricky to drive in the snow. Local roads are the killer: compacted snow freezing to ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Also, rust weighs less than metal and paint, and saves on cleaning. Win-win. Go over the whole car with a metal scourer and then Park it in the Humber estuary for a couple of months. The sea water will also clean deposits built up inside the engine, giving you all the benefits of TerraClean without the cost or the annoying advert.

ChrisH Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yep, that time of the year again! Mine's an NA anyway, and to be honest around here we have so many speed humps, chicanes, speed cameras, learner drivers, old people, congestion, do gooders, jobsworths and dithering idiots, not to mention the missus who thinks the car is too fast anyway, anything else would, quite frankly, be wasted.
