There's one from Newcastle owned by a club member that's running one, the red one with the hardtop and Lenso Shu wheels. Looks very tidy indeed! If your lucky the membership secretary may give them your details to ask them some questions. 8)

I don't know what it is, but I really like the look of red NB8B's :oops: I think they look much nicer than red NA's (sorry guys). Just my preference, but then again, I do love Crystal Blue Metallic...

I usually end up concluding it will cost far to much to be feasible


Sell your non-turbo NB8B and buy an SE. Much easier than frigging around with after market stuff and you have no issues with engineering certificates or insurance and resale will be much better if you ever decide to sell

Or, you could get Mania to do it for you. They are pretty good with turbo conversions on NBs......

i thought engineering certificates are cheap 800-1000 bucks


But actually finding an engineer who is happy to WRITE the certificate and the money you spend to make him happy is what costs the big bucks. You don't just slap on a turbo kit and put it in front of the engineer. He will look at it and check plenty of things and will make you go away to change things. You may not even find an engineer who is willing or competent to issue you a certificate.

yea if anythin i would go there for the FI
i was kinda worried about the Vvt that the NB has as opposed to the NA


Mania have a solution, Haltech or XEDE interceptors have another solution....a unichip could probably do it - and that's before you look into the Jaycar catalogue for DIY. Then going further, there are standalone ECUs that can do it. My suggestion is to actually talk to someone who has done it. They are the ones who know. You only need $$$

I'd talk to a certifying automotive engineer first if you have concerns - or ring AVO and talk to them. 8)
