FFS, lol -. Neons, 40" alloys, exhaust the size of as dustbin. ITS A VAN FFS! Get a woman!

Hello diy-newby, I have a woman & neons not my thing. 40 inch alloys won't fit and neither would an exhaust the size of a dustbin, but I suppose as your name is diy newby you probably thing it would fit! As far as a van being modded, there is a mini van that can do sub 3 second 60s with a supercharged 6 litre Jag lump in the rear. By the way what do you drive?

PS get a man.

*Shudder*. It's a diesel.

The basics for a turbocharged donk: a larger intercooler of some description, perhaps - just perhaps - the exhaust although you'll condense more power at the top of the rev range.

Thanks I am looking into finding a custom sized intercooler once we have worked out what is the biggest we can get in. I have always used water inj and bigger intercooler before but have never tried charge coolers? Which is better? I have heard charge coolers are better slow traffic and pull offs and intercoolers better for motorway.

Stu

They can both suffer from the same problem; heat soak. Water chargecoolers take longer to warm up... but longer to cool down.

Mattress in the back. HTH :).

Thanks

Stu

Be fair, he also has a van... Granted it's a 1.9D Citroen thingy heh.

HTH Hope This Helps

Seen the coupe in that french mag, i forget what they call themsleves now. It has a blue 5 on the front

1.9D Citroen Dispatch. But that's because my MK2 Golf GTI is still in pieces - resprayed it over the last year, but not got round to putting it together again yet. Unfortunately the only mods I can afford to do at the minute involve larger brakes. On the other hand they improve performance more than light brows ;).

Fair play, at least you are considering something sensible. I am not into light brows, but some subtle body mods are good, as you would agree only after you have afforded to do the decent mods (handling & performance). You got to be looking at nitrous in the future Doki, it works even better with diesel.

Nitrous? Pah who needs nitrous. LPG works very well with diesel... :p

Fuck off, Diesel boy. LPG is for people who want to run proper engines on the cheap, not for compression ignition freaks!!!

:-p

Do you remember when some magazine put the indirect injection, Isuzu engined

1.7 turbodiesel Astra on a mix of LPG and diesel? It hit 62 faster than the 2.0 GSi. But it also broke gearboxes (not the engine)...

Fuck that. The van's a horrible thing to drive. The only thing it's got going for it is the fact that it's a van. The Golf may eventually get a 2l

16V engine from a MK3 or a MK4 turbo engine, but for the time being I need it to be cheap...
