Hi

im new to the forum and 86 world

im looking for the best quality and priced turbo conversion around joburg. anybody know where i should go?

Hi

Not sure about Joburg but Clare Vale's recently had a pretty mean turbo conversion done. 500HP like Crawford's is going to involve internals as well. Maybe speak to Jan at Auto Sound Engineering.

I agree with Sav. There is a thread somewhere about the total cost of the Crawford conversion including all the internal and drive train parts they had to replace. It came to a lot (around 26k $ is a remember correctly). If you don't have too big an issue with importing, there are 3 companies state-side that do built bottom ends. @FullBlownmotorsports are probably the best to speak to if that is the kind of power you are after as they offer a lot of different packages for the car. Hope this helps. With 500hp this car will be an absolute rocket

Hi guys

I got a quote from Auto Sound Engineering 65K for turbo-kit.
No internal changes on 0.6 bar boost . They say your looking at 180 wkw .

Cool. Customs is pretty much raping us on imported parts these days - worked out to 50% on a simple cooler the other day.

I suspect a 2JZ transplant might work out cheaper.

Don86 · 09-08-2014, 01:41 PM

Haha sav you might be right
My KIT will come in via a tuning shop .

Where are getting the ROTA wheels from? I've finally found a set that I like.

Oh come on...
If you want big power, you're starting with the wrong car, and totally missing the point of an 86.
If you want a breakdancer, get a breakdancer, don't try to make a ballerina into a breakdancer...
Not gonna work IMO.
