Bigger Tubby etc ????

[GirlRacer]

Hi all... Just wanna pick your brains.
When i move back up north ( hopefully not long after xmas) im after Jimmy's bits made bigger
Whats the work, time & cost approx at what im looking at

Any ideas & recommends welcome.
I know its not gonna be cheap, but dont wanna throw pennies away. Just dont know what work im looking at .....
Also is it worth doing it to a 3B, i just luv Jimmy's pearlesant sparkle.

Cheers In Advance
Tina.

ps... his (!) seems better, not bleeping & not even a flash now

which`bits` do you mean, 996 upgrade etc about 450-500 depending on price of calipers brake pads etc engine/horse power depends how deep our pockets are

im after Jimmy's bits made bigger

Every girls dream, lmao

Just go down the RS2 route, tried tested and works a treat.

[GirlRacer]

Every girls dream, lmao

Shut Up... lmao



Not seen many RS2's to look at.
Ok lets just say a budget up to £5k..... but obviously want money's worth.
Just i aint got a clue at the cost of engine work..

[rotoryboy]

Just depends on where you want to stop. If your happy with 400 bhp then its a reasonable easy route. RS2 Turbo, RS2 Ex. Manifold, RS2 Injectors and intercooler, then topped off with a re-map. If you want to go further you need to do the groundwork when you start, ie rods etc

[GirlRacer]

I would like as much as poss for a reasonable amount.
I dont want to waste the money, as am going to bank the rest of equity for another house.

What you mean rods etc... told you i dont understand.
Sory but im a typlical woman, want lots but want it all at the same time.. :mischeif:

[rotoryboy]

What you mean rods etc... told you i dont understand.

Sorry, you mean you don't understand why you need to upgrade the rods? or what rods are?

[Chris M]

RS2 Route is probably the best route to go down, plenty of torque and minimal lag

You'll need RS2/ABY shell bearings,
Metal headgasket (Might be worth doing a dual headgasket)
RS2 exhaust manifold and studs
RS2 intercooler or bigger
RS2 Injectors or bigger
RS2 turbo
And a re-map.

There'll be some other bits like Headbolts and seals etc to do and the cambelt and water pump would be worth doing too while its in bits.

HTH,

Chris

[GirlRacer]

much you reckon it will knock me purse strings.
(inc paying someone to do it )

oh and will it matter Jimmy being a 3B

[Corey]

The parts are the cheap bit, it's when you have to pay someone to do it for you that's where the expense comes in.
Unless you know someone who does it for the love of it?

[quattronutter]

i would say about 2.5k for all the parts,and of course someone you trust to fit it all..

[rotoryboy]

and to be honest Tina, you need to include the Porsche brake upgrade as the standards will NOT cope with this performance

[GirlRacer]

2.5K i was expecting it to be loads more.
For once i would like someone to tell me what to do
I dont want any monkies to have Jimmy.

I will need as much help & references as poss..... or am i being to possesive
about who i hand him to
