Krzys Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 By all accounts becuase of the naturally low compressioin of our engines, they respond to boost better than the type r's! I think for the price of a c6 engine, £1500 i wouldve thought, you could have a pretty good bolt on turbo set up to run 7-8 psi and return 230-240 without breaking a sweat!Yeah they're about that on the Bay of e! So better value on the boost conversion really and then our long gear ratios would finally be useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost is good but you cannot beat N/A reliability and the main one usability. Depends what your end goal is if boost then stick with the c4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with what your doing at all. I love NA!! Massively and the C6 will transform the deck! I was just comparing price wise to those of us that don't regularly have the chance to get old of a C6 If you were to get and set up a t25 or similar, you can retain the vtec and have a really drivable car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the increase in engine temps meant a quick run on the motorway and you have to cruise to let them down. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kinda price do you think you could do it from then? From scratch? I've actually been reading mixed things on running a t25, ie it's really flat up top and tails off about 7k??

Can't wait to see more pics!The t25 turbo does die off around 7k but we can go to 8k so the extra 1k is sort of wasted and stressing the turbo.To do the conversion your self you could probably custom make a kit for around the 1k but nothing ever stops where you want it to and it all just adds up lol. its just a matter of getting good bargains. You will save heaps on labour if done yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
