any one other than atech can do turbo conv?

[driftmonkey]

I've emailed, phoned, left a message and nothing.
I want a drive in drive out conversion, I've already bought a plug and play megasquirt ecu, wideband controller and disply(just need sensor) egay turbo kit manifold, turbo, oil relocation kit, oil cooler, oil return pipe work, 12.9 headbolts, intercooler, loads of pipework, so its a case of injectors, fuelpump, downpipe, exhaust( bought a couple of stainless ones, one off rs turbo one off renault 5 turbo that i was going to cut up to make my own), airfilter, yadda yadda, fitting the lsd i bought and probably a headrebuild.
I'm working over in italy so hence why i cant do anywork myself as only back and forth to uk for weekends every couple of weeks.
Its a 89 325i se with m20.
I just want it turbo'd! low boost, anyone?

Ant is really busy at the moment and his answer phone was playing up last week. Drop him another email perhaps?

[blingsta]

he will get back to you mate ! as toby said , he is very busy and a 1 man band, e-mail again..

I'm in a right cop with cars at the minute!
The Renault 5 gt turbo Ive just bought has decided to not start, im guessing startermotor, and the car was meant to be going away to a mate to get ready for a track day at the end of april as i'm in italy til the day before the trackday so cant do it myself, so thats just sat there at the mo, and the 525i I have to get about over here has just spat its dummy out, so just bought a new battery for that, and hope that sorts it.
I'll email again.
Bloody cars, and all three are f reg, 89 must be a bad year!

Ant is a busy man, but I phoned him today and got through first time and we had a good chat, I guess you've been unlucky with timing!

[driftmonkey]

damnit!
I'll try again on monday then. I've sent another email aswell.

[d6dph]

I'm off to see him next saturday so I'll mention that you are trying to get in touch. Busy doesn't begin to describe him

[driftmonkey]

yeah cheers for that, I just want to outline my plans, drop the car off will all the bits, pay him the dosh and pick it up when it's all finished, but sounds like it may take awhile if hes loaded up with work!

[carannc]

Keep trying him, time spent here will save you loads later.

I just kept trying his phone at different times, top bloke

cheers

Just got thru and had a good chat, I'm just mentally preparing myself for spending alot of money now....... and might be going the SC route instead, on a M50 lump.
So may have all my turbo bits up for sale soon, maybe not such a wise buy in the first place!

What figures you going to be looking at once its done?

[fowler]

what figures on a M50 with S/C or M20 turbo ???

[driftmonkey]

m20 turbo, with the turbo I've got 240bhp, m50 2.8 sc, 300bhp maybe, just guessing tho.

[fowler]

turbo m20 witha bar of boost prob 300 bhp/ sc M50 prob about the same.
both options not cheap.
I believe you have had a conversation with Ant recently

[driftmonkey]

Yeah had a long chat today, I was soooo blinkered before, now going to be selling all the bits ive bought!

[driftmonkey]

Cant advertise the bits til I take some pictures, and not back in the uk til next friday, so will take some them, might flog the wizards of noz nitrous kit ive got aswell, I'm sure the megasquirt has a function that allows progressive control on nitrous, would be handy!
trying to think what other goodies Ive got knocking about I can sell, see how quickly I can get together the money for a new car.....

[driftmonkey]

Forgot to say, Ants a top bloke, took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything in great detail, some over my head when taking about ecu plug numbers, and compressor wheel sizes.... but a great help.
