Turbo Conversion

Post by AshBlueMk4 »

anybody know any websites offering turbos kits for the 6n????

Toying with the idea of a conversion but want a turbo rather than an supercharger...

Any help guys would be appreciated..

One more thing saw one of you guys at USC this weekend was anyone else there. I was there in my dark blue mk4 had CRUISEMACC.CO.UK on my windows

I looked at Rothe Motorsport and was impressed with them, depends what you engine you've got.

I started pricing up a G40 block with one of their turbo conversion kits, would have set me back about £3000 inc fitting (unless i did it myself). Could bring that price down dramatically if you shop around (the kit was going to cost me £1500 + G40 block + labour)

That running some high comp pistons, bit of headwork, decat pipe and a t3 turbo... mmmm. it would have been like a reliable Reno 5 GTturbo -f**k all traction but wicked once its rolling

There are enough Dutch and German companies offering Turbo conversion sets for 6N engine's (only the MPI's), but I don't think it will help you much since your not from Hollna dor Germany.

But there is 1 important thing to keep in mind if you go through with a turbo conversion on your original 6N engine. If you don't reinforce the lower part of the engine (crankshaft, clutch etc.) it isn't wise to go more then 0,8 Bar on turbopressure. Mate of mine from the Polo Club Holland had a 6N 1600MPI engine and fitted a turbo on this. Got 120 BHP with it, and a s**t of torque. On a sprint he made any GTI suck his exhaust, but on top speed he had to suck the GTI's exhausts, but what the fun of drivin if you aint taking no corners and smashing the pedal after the corner :twisted:

You won't get it as a kit mate, you need to swap the whole engine, loom, running gear etc across and make custom mounting points

Normally won't get it cheaper than 6K but your looking at £10 000 for a goodn
