monkey76364 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Looks good. Nice work done there. I have been thinking about NA-T for ages, but still keep thinking about just swaping the whole engine for a TT lump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Swapping is a better option IMO, you then have scope for large horsepower without the labour costs of doing the head gasket and fabrication work... Pretty much drop in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain2010 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Nice one Iain, looks good, will be doing mine at the weekend! Fair play! What are you going for? power/ gearbox wise? great car, bet thats bloody quick with a 5 speed on it, Jody did a bit of work on my car at the weekend, did a top job so i'm well pleased very nice to meet him and Dave, cheers Jody i'll be back down soon It is really quick, I have never driven a 6 speed before but the thing i like about the 5 speed is if you change right you can keep the second turbo online all the way through the gears!!

jim_supra Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Fair play! What are you going for? power/ gearbox wise? It's all stock for now, I got a really low mileage engine and gearbox off Jezzybabes plus all the other bits needed to drop it straight in! I wanted to do a 6spd conversion at the same time but will have to wait untill funds will stretch to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've got plans of doing this too - to be honest I've had the idea since I got the Supe last year. I have the uprated clutch and LSD already which is good, not too sure about the suspension so I'm halfway there. One major question though - what happens with your insurance?? Do you say its now a TT and dont give the model? When I convert mine it will be an SZ-R twin turbo, do I sat its a GZ for example and risk a claim not being covered?

Sheefa Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Iain, great job mate and an excellent bit of work (or quite a bit!) by Jody. Just keep off that Loud pedal in these early stages pal, until it warms up a little more. No more a member of the NA boys hey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you say its now a TT and dont give the model? When I convert mine it will be an SZ-R twin turbo, do I sat its a GZ for example and risk a claim not being covered? Well my insurance has shot up due to it but at least now i have an agreed valuation! I had to give the year of the engine and they just insured it with that, everything declared. I would seriously consider doing your suspension when you get chance, its alright having all the power but if you cant put it down...

I don't know about Iain, but it will make very little difference to me, I have declared to the insurance company that it will be a TT conversion and I was quoted what people my age and the same no claims are paying (just over £1000).

Edit: Iain has already replied! Ive just looked in your garage and you have a really good base car, being a SZ-R i bet you have ABS and LSD+ you have already done your suspension! Its a lot better than mine was. (to be honest mine was dying!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine doesn't have ABS or a LSD! which leads me to beleive that it's not an sz-r:( But I have done the suspension:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody highly recommended the LSD. I dont know much about the differences between the SZ-R and sz but that does sound like the same model as mine was so maybe just the sz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
