thanks for the input guys, i think i will probably go straight in and turbo it i just dont know wich route to take, theres really 3 options i can see, option 1- bolt on turbo kit from starkey, option 2- turbo kit plus all the other bits like what stevegti suggested for serious power or option 3- buy the ready prepared engine from starkey motorsport, scratch

STEVEGTI on Wed Feb 17, 2010 7:11 pm

to be honest mate your best just bolting on a turbo kit and starting form there then you can take it in smaller steps

you dont need to buy a whole turbo engine, your head is already to go, you just need some low comp pistons in the bottom end and the engine side of things is complete.

I use vitara pistons, they work very well

nick c on Wed Feb 17, 2010 8:16 pm

are vitara pistons the same diameter or do the bore's need to be re-bored. and can anyone tell me if my stock engine managment will be fine to run the bolt on turbo kit.

stevieh6 on Wed Feb 17, 2010 8:25 pm

you will need to get the block bored for the pistons, and you can either go the cheap route and buy a turbo chip or do it properly and by a standalone ecu along with bigger injectors and some dyno time.

If theres any dyno tuners near you, find out what ECU's they work with and get one of them, will make your life a bit easier

STEVEGTI on Wed Feb 17, 2010 10:08 pm

yea chip is designed for 10-12psi tdo4 stock engine instant spool 150whp or around 170bhp works very well

Hey nick I genuinely think that if your serious then you need engine management to save any disappointment. You could buy a chip but the car won't be 100%, and I don't think ul be that happy with the results.
Anyway what I guess I'm saying is if your going to do it, do it right the first time around so you don't have to look back afro

This Justy flywheel which model do u take it off and will it make any odds to an N/A engine?

Cheers John

Hi,

I think you better off asking Andy to make an ultimate Justy.
He told me that give him £5k and he will make a 200bhp@wheel Justy.
I do think he can do it for that price and he will be using best gear for sure.
If you mod your Gti, you will need to change so many things.
If you mod Justy, it is already AWD and It is Justy so you won't have issue with Police. Stay right side of the law and insurance.

Cheers

its the Justy which looks like and is a Swift, if your buying Justy parts from a breakers over the phone just make sure it has the g13b engine.

I wouldnt bother using the Justy box, flywheel or even the car on a NA gti engine as you loose too much power through the 4wd system, just get an LSD for your gti box.

mine only 2wd gti will the flywheel from the justy fit and is there any point?

Almondo74 on Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:49 pm

the justy flywheels heavy, and u only need it when u use the justy gear box.
and apprently the ratios are crap unless u have a turbo

Ross

stevieh6 on Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:55 pm

I wouldnt say the ratios are crap, mine still maxes out at 140mph, same as the gti box. But the only reason for fitting the justy gearbox and fly is because its stronger, so on an NA engine its not really worth the bother as theres quite alot involved to do the conversion
