NIKH25 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 whereas a turbo with boost control & a turbo lag-killing nitrous setup to spool up the turbo almost immediately would keep economical driving an option. I like your optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didjeridave Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ha haa, yes, realistically I don't think my gran would manage to drive such a car economically with my wife & two police officers as passengers & we stopped her driving a year ago for being too much the elderly driver!

NIKH25 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 "More mechanical sympathy" I like that, good quote, definitely more reliable than a turbo though, less stress and heat!How much?Lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didjeridave Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think £4-5k would be a fair starting point? I've not seen a kit with published prices; that's never a good sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 a few years ago I emailed jacksons about theirs, and that's roughly what it was gonna cost (with reccomended upgrading of valve springs etc) and then fitting on top of that...would still love it though after a taste of the supercharged atom!the noise.... the nooooiiiissseee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
