no..

question is why:cuckoo:

I seen a silver 2.0 sport in 'Jap Performance' magazine with all the bits to make it STI spec, and its now running at over 300bhp:norty: ....think the write up on it said it wasnt worth it as it costs so much to do the conversion....:freak3:

A company called Scooby Clinic in England say it is roughly £3000 plus VAT in labour alone:eek2: to do the conversion, and on top of that u have to buy the donar engine, gearbox,shafts,diff,loom etc etc and any other bits needed to complete the job....so they dont recommend it as you could be talking £6000-£8000 possibly:confused: and if u have £7000 laying about ud be better just going and buying a classic STI to start with;)

yup
 

that kinda sums it up:thumb:

sorry i,m thinking more in the lines of turbogharging a standard 1.6 impreza engine:)

On the cheap... Second hand turbo, modded manifold, fifth injector and controller or bigger injectors and remap if it's possible on the 1.6.
Then you need some custom plumbing for the turbo air, oil etc and modded exhaust to fit. All do-able but even then it's probably going to set you back a bit.

Just buy a wrx not too expensive across the water turbo conversion

fit a turbo
clutch
gearbox
brakes
driveshafts
diffs

by that stage you could have afforded a 2 ltr turbo

u can get turbo 2000 and wrx s in england cheap, about 3000.... plus knock off that wot ur cars worth.... :norty:

there is a lad that works up in TBF thompson in mallusk has this done, as in stuck a turbo on a 16, not stuck a turbo engine in but just the turbo, from what I hear too its MOT as well. :thumb:

i'm sure its easy done, u can slap a turbo onto many N/A engines. when I had my ep3 civic type r I was lookin at a Greddy turbo "bolt on kit" 4 just 2k.

its not easy done at all lol.
A friend of mine owns the car you are talking about and a lot of work went into modifying the car and its all done properly with Apexi safc and that sort of trick thing.


the only problem is he is bald and totally gay, loves anal action haha. but he is good with scoobys

i no the fella ur talking bout jamie, amazing wif cars but heard he likes a bit if sausage action!!!!!!!!

LOVES the sausage action hes a bit of a sausage whore lol.

his ass gapes like the marble arch caves now, and he has even had all his hair rubbed off from all the sausage he sucks lol

No man, his hair is rubbed off from rubbing the bottom of boys a*se cracks while giving some tongue action:razz:
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

All jokin aside he still keeps us on the straight and narrow:notworthy

Top chap.... hold on, beginning to sound like one myself now ha ha

I went to ECC to enquire about the greddy bolt on 4 the EP3 they told me that u do not need any other engine mods 2 handle 80-100hp from the turbo kit. But then I wouldnt use them 2 do any work as when I went 2 them about wat I wanted done 2 my scoob they said "wat u really want is our system, our fuel pump, our this & our that"

Its my car I know wat I want.:mad:

Heard that about him too! seriously he's a top bloke

ive seen this car in action most days comming from mallusk direction, seems to go like stink! sounds like a real one:norty:

I thought that there was a 1.6 Turbo model available in Greece only or something like that?

The one in Greece wouldn't be as tasty as this one - it seems a fit yoke alright

guys guys
 

ffs..you just spent more time talking about hiding sausages that cars there..:confused: :confused: .let me know when you are having a wee run out so i can glue my arse shut:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: .

and fitting a turbo to an engine with standard comp pistons:cuckoo: tick tick tick tick.......................

this cars been running properly at 6psi for over 2 years now:norty:

i know, i drive it every day:norty:

dunger

:razz: would pee on ur corrado vr6 pos

yeah yea you wish lol. well its gone and we are into a new era of fun now lad ;)

Don't do it - You can bolt one on for an extra 50 HP for less than a grand, but if you want the rest of the car to keep up budget 5-6k. 6k on a 1.6 will get you a good selection of classics

very true i only done it becacause i had all the parts i needed that came off my 98 impreza turbo which has now been tuned. all i had to buy was an apexi safc. this car suits me because its my second car which i use for work and winter!
