Sorry if this has been spoke about before but has anyone done this yet? How easy is it to do?
Where can you get bits?
Where can you get bits?
Ben has done it to his 197.
It is doable, as anything is really if you have the funds and the desire. There's a couple of kits out there already and the rumours are that some of the usual suspects are testing kits of their own at the moment too. It's not a cheap modification and it won't give as big a gains as an S/C or Meg' conversion but the noise of ITBs is something special.
You won't get much change from £3,000.
That would barely, if even at all, cover the cost of the hardware.
Bens popped on standard pistons. He already had cams, and I remember him saying it cost him roughly 6-6.5k inc a race dash coz the fuel gauge don't work and he got 220 ish. So you'll probably want pistons, cams and that's without inlets head work Ben also has. It's mental money. SC or meg is so much better value for money and more power.
But as with all modifying, it's all personal choice if u wanna go for it do it, just the money for the gains puts me off.
Yer i knew the power gains would be no where near as good but i was thinking of something different tbh.. So i will be looking around the 7k mark? Inc the cams, pistons.. To get all bits fitted and mapped?
For 7k you could have a forged Meg conversion or forged supercharger
MikeLY is currently on a standard engine and running around 260BHP. I've been in it and its savage. You could forge it with rods and pistons as he is doing and go for more power.
Lol sounds wicked Did he do the conversion himself or a company?
Jamsport did mine bud.
I didn't as I was the development mule. Not to sure on price, best giving them a call mate. They are based in Northampton buddy
Cool mate, look in my progress thread for pics, it's in this months pfc mag as well
