Single turbo?

[brodierx7]

Hey folks. After running twins for 5 years I think the time has come to go single, so I was wondering what\'s the best turbo kit to go for? Also the best port? I would like good power but also fairly reliable power but since where I live I can\'t get v power or anything! All I can get is 95ron. So this does affect power but I\'m still hopping I can run single.

You can run single up to about 400hp.
GT35/40 or Apexi rx series are good turbos for lower power.
That TD07 would also suit that is for sale on here.
Map would have to be done for 95 ron too.

400 is what I\'m kind of after but could be doing well to get that with just 95ron. What kind of port would you recommend?

[HaywardRotary]

Extend port would be fine with it.
The fueling and timing are more important with the low octane fuel.

Also would I be better off buying a whole kit or everything separate?

So I take it that bridge port and large street port etc are only for very high power? Always liked the sound of a bridge but if its wasted then not much point? What\'s involved with a port being done? Does this require a engine rebuild? Or is engine left if all is well?

Give Carl a call mate and he will surely answer your questions. He is the best option out there for you..

Yes I will give Carl a call tomorrow.

Engine has to be split for porting to be done.

Need need for a bridge port at 400 HP unless your wanting it for the brap, plus you will  better idle and mpg with a good street port

[brodierx7]

So would a engine normally get a full rebuild during this I take it? Well it would be nice to have the brap, is bridge more money than normal port? Anyone know rough cost of porting and fitting single?

[Grant Monkhouse]

For a turbo kit plus fuel upgrade, intercooler radiator your looking 2000 plus. Porting doesn\'t cost much more from a street port to a bridge. I would say a hundred or so. Porting doesn\'t take that long or its not that hard but its knowing what to do that you pay for.

Yes when porting you would be paying for a full rebuild. £3500 for a standard rebuild plus warrenty.

[brodierx7]

That\'s the kind of price I had in mind. Cheers for the info grant!

where on earth did you pluck that figure from grant?

i suppose its possible buying a used turbo kit and ebay crap....but you\'ll probably have to spend more sorting it out when it all goes pear shaped a few months down the line......

[brodierx7]

Don\'t worry Ed wont be buying cheap eBay crap. I see you turbo there but to be honest I need to speak to someone as I don\'t have much idea on what set up to run yet.
