thanks mate, have sent them an email asking about them... maybe they will reply, no one else has??? silverstone is close to me to really...!! With the bracket, i want the c30-94 unit, so is that the right bracket for it??? i have a mate who could make me one up at his work if i had one to show him/lend him... Herisites, does all the kit, that you might have for sale, fit the new charger i want?? would it be worth me buying yours and trading it in, or would you like to find someone to rebuild it and sell it on??
-
thanks for all the info guys!! sounds like im going to be busy haha... do you know where i could be a stand alone rotrex charger?? i think i will only buy a new one for peace of mind
-
dont worry about jacking the post mate, i would like to hear about these things as well to be fair!!
-
should i get my head gasket (with spacer) and timing chains done first, with the arp bolts/conrods everyones on about??
-
so can i get just the rotrex charger on its own somewhere?? would you say one of the aquamist set ups to cool it down??
-
where abouts in the west midlands mate? your probly about hour and half away... will pay your petrol and that haha!!
-
sounds good, thanks for the offer!! i live in bedfordshire near bedford by the way guys... dont know where you lot are, probly miles away knowing my luck haha
-
yeah that looks nice!! well im still collecting my pennies but am very interested mate!! so what bhp do you think you were getting?? think i will start with something like what you got there, then i will upgrade everything and have a lil rebuild... be nice to just put on stage 1 first and see how i go.. how much would it cost to rebuild the rotrex charger, anyone know?? i would buy that to, as buying another rotrex kit will come with some of thaem bits anyway wouldnt it...?? thanks for the offer karl, might just take you up on that, im sure i can sort you out for your time if it did happen!!!
-
well unless you know the country roads like the back of your hand your only going to race on straight roads?? its fairly dangerous and i have been in many stupid crashes with mates trying to show off.. unfortunately i dont live next door to a race track haha
-
how many miles has it all done? if its fairly low send me a price for it all including the charger if you want.. what bits are we talking about to?
-
i dont mind buying new, but if there is a decent second hand one i would be interested... their saying storm develpments are real helpful, wish they would reply to me :? maybe i will ring them soon...
-
thinking i might need to rent a lockup/garage to do all this, will be a lot easier... anyone know how much i would be looking at???
-
is that the bracket for the rotrex i take it karl?? yeah i think i will be on here asking the odd question, like where do i find the engine haha :D
-
well said, looks like a done up girls car with go fast stripes!!
-
yeah i dont know nothing about engines and that to be perfectly honest, would struggle to do a service haha!! but i know i can do it myself if i put in the effort (which i will), just going to take a lot longer, but means more money for better parts :) i will make a build thread i think, will help all the others like me out that dont know a lot... first things first though, the ultimate supercharger shopping list!!!
-
hey karl, have they got a web site, number?? going to start getting all the bits and then see if a novice can fit all these things haha, i have decided to try and do all the work myself, going to be the biggest learning curve youve ever seen haha
-
thanks for the replys!! all sounds good to me!! while replacing the "head gasket (spacer), timing chains, bigger injectors, put in arp conrods" should i replace anything else or should that cover it??? just a bit paranoid obviously!! ahhh brakes, these poor things always get left until needed dont they haha, i will be doing these aswell dont worry about that, im still unsure on what im going to do though????
-
vr6joni, reading what your fitting sounds like exactly what i want actually!!!
-
that sounds perfect... could you post/send me that please!! i have been looking at the storm kit and emailed them but have had no reply??? think i will stay away from a turbo... want a superchager i think!!
-
no not thought about that at all!! i was thinking if i done everything right with a rotrex i should be able to get the power i want when i want... it does sound interesting though....!!
-
hi guys after hours of research and thinking about power haha, i have decided to go down the rotrex charger route. Im still unclear on what engine upgrades to carry out even after hours of looking... Im looking for over 300bhp from my VR...with maybe the option to increase as i go... so do i go for the rotrex c30-94??? seen some kits in america from the website (kraftwerks and underdog), is this the best place to buy a kit?? what size pulley would i want??? what engine/head work shall i carry out to be safe??? i obviously want some cooling in there, is aquamist the way to go or charge cooler??? basically if anyone knows a lot about this and money was not a problem what would be your shopping list be if you had a standard VR...??? thats what i need, a shopping list haha!!! sorry about all the questions, they have all probly been answered before so a link(s) would be fine...thanks!!!
-
wow, thats come up well, good work!!
-
No chance, my standard VR with lowered compression (so gutless!) pisses all over a fiesta ST! Not through town perhaps as they will have a revvier engine and shorter gears, but where it counts a VR is definitely quicker. i have raced a couple round my way, and made them look silly, my VR has straight through exhaust and thats it... theres me going nearly 145, he must of been going 110 hahahahaha!!! wait until the rotrex is fitted to!!!!
-
looks quality, i like your styling ideas, wheels look great and yes will look even better with all red rear lights ;)
-
looking good!! maybe needs lowering a bit, love your d90's!!! i have a set waiting to go on mine ;)
