Off topic i know but any pics of that ? Even on a seperate thread. Looking into a K20 Charge Cooled but not for me, honest. Be interesting to see how you have done it Dan.

I have got most bits there but worried about space in engine bay

If you don't mind

Does look like a very nice job though, what would be the cost for ~280 bhp Dan, just for future reference :wink:

Yes it does. That's an all in price for the whole job. Drive in - Drive out.

Haven't confirmed pricing for further power upgrades yet Kenny but the Vision Function setup as posted by Euan certainly seems like good value although I've yet to see how badly it is affected by heat soak.

Knew Kenny would not let me down.

Alan, your "FRIEND" would need a S/C Honda to start off with.

Its not for me Tut, mine goes well enough N/A.

I have the parts to do an PRA Manifold as well but as you say Dan DC5 is the way to go but don't fit using Stark Mounts :roll: .

Right Kenny, price for the Stage 2, 280 bhp kit would be £5600 inc VAT, fully fitted, 12 month warranty etc etc. :D

Only thing is, at that sort of level I would definitely recommend a new uprated clutch so that would be an extra £700 inc VAT (fitted)

Yes, got new premises back in September. Just round the corner from home. :thumbsup

I am approaching 50k miles and 60 trackdays on the original clutch and still going strong (touches wood) although no doubt it will need uprated soon enough so the cost of that isn't unexpected.
Any supercharger ideas are just ideas at the moment unfortunately until I eventually find a new house but still it's good to know. I think if I am going to spend money adding an SC I would want at least 280 ish so at least I have a number to save for :D

Good news on the new premises, I'll be in touch in the new year with a list of uninteresting jobs for you to do :mrgreen: along with a C service :(

Had a nosey today at lunchtime as I was walking past drivers and it was outside - looks great on the TDs Euan.

Install looked tidy and if you didnt know it had been done you probably wouldnt notice it, just looks normal through the grills. Nice. Engine cover needs a tweak though!
