Turbo C2 VTR!!!

[Liquid]

I'm getting a turbo for my vtr, and I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with doing the electronics/management part.

Any experiences about getting new injectors, building in piggyback modules like Greddy Emanage, or just simply hacking the ECU would help me a lot.

will a sensodrive gearbox be able to handle a turbo?

[keenan_gt]

It has been done by that guy in portugal, to my belief i think it was a success, however i think that if you had a VTS or GT being manuals the turbo would have been easier to handle than the senso drive!
running at 170-180 bhp and 200-220 Nm?
I reckon you would need to definatley uprate the brakes to somthing bigger re-enforce the chasis and i dont know what else would have to be changed as a result of putting all that power in a car that was built for half the amount! I would really invest in some experianced mechanics to do the job, safety first mate!

Think about clutch (better one then OEM but not metal) and about clutch servomotor. I belive that gearbox ECU will have problems with clutch with so many NM's. My opinion is : Clutch will die verry soon but u cant do anything. Maybe when u re-map somehow gearbox ECU... anyway.... its not good idea. Ofcourse u need better brakes etc.. Good luck.

Dont turbo a c2, in my opinion it isnt really worth the money. Just save it for a car that has a turbo and start modding from there!
Im sure you will come across lots of problems if you do turbo it. I mean, do you know if the vtr turbo is portugal is still running?! and what about ur insurance? They will no doubt see you coming, rub their hands together, then rob you.

[tkm16]

i don't know whether to turbo mine or stick a supercharger in there :?

I'm getting it done by a friend of mine, the whole thing is going to cost me about 900 € plus the cluch and gearshaft reinforcements that are needed.
The turbo wont run over 0.4-0.5 Bars for everyday usage. Maybe when I drag, I'll set it to 0.8, but I'll be surely careful with it.

Thanks for the advices, I'm looking forward to reading other opinions too.

[smartie00]

if you are thinking of turbind i would speak to either gmcmotorsport or cituning first for their advice

[Liquid]

I'll make a forum topic when we'll start building it. Hopefully before the end of summer. It makes me scream when I think of my car running at 170hp. WEEEEEHHAAA!

Sorry. :D
SOoooo. Other opinions?

[keenan_gt]

Why didnt you buy a Turbod japanese car in the first place i totaly respect the "ive got a 170+bhp C2 and no one else does" but as stated abover how many problems is that gonna cause?
Opinion, buy somthing thats already got a Turbo

[hughes741]

i would say trade the vtr for a gt strip it out fit bucket seats and roll cage and turbo it :)

I thought that vtr from portugal wasn't able to get 180bhp, I thought it was 130 or 150, at the advice from the makers of the turbo unit.

I think the sensodrive gearbox would have serious problems with that much power!

[scoopybadboy]

pointless on a VTR. if it was a VTS then id be for it

I agree. With that gear box, changes will take too long and slow the 0-60 right down :?
