Top 10 mods or things to do to series 2 rs turbos?

wat do people think?

 

2 ltr 16 valve

 

jerry can with petrol and a decent lighter is the best mod lol

 

sell it and get a s1?

 

Cosworth management

 

striped interia...decked.....full boost.....phat rims......original exteria

 

For me,

1. Zetec turbo
2. MEF Suspension
3. Recaro buckets
4. Cage
5. 6 speed getrag box
6. Poly windows
7. Fuel swirl pot
8. 16" alloys
9. AP 4 pots
10. Billie Coilovers

 

fit a bleed valve and turn up the boost
its the only mod you need why do anything else, maybe some cut springs as well

 

a very nice dump valve

 

depends if its stock car totally original

1 new suspension
2 new brakes
3 new bushes
4 gauges to keep an eye on stuff
5 chip
6 zorst
7 filter
8 -31
9 set up
10 new wheels

that my opinion anyway

 

 

1) Cossie Brakes all round
2) Coilovers
3) Fully Rosejointed Suspension
4) Cossie Mgmt
5) Chargecooler
6) Alloy Rad
7) Full Race Head
8) Cam
9) Full Engine Rebuild with steel rods
10) Mortgage from Lloyd TSB

 

new brakes, bushes and shocks first and formost, get rid of the abs next, then front mount, radiator and exhaust then and only then start to plan engine mods ignor anyone that lists mods in a different order.

 

or do as eveyone else does, chip it even though its not running properly in the first place. Then moan that rst's are unreliable when it breaks down every two minutes because your running it on a shoestring budget

Then rather than take it to a rolling road for diagnostics put posts up on here asking a question with a million answers like why does my rs run funny

 

So true! Know too many ppl that have done this!

 

if u put a front mount on a car only running 7psi (std boost) it'll be a restriction so u wont need that before a chip

agreed tho until your car is running properly and healthy don't look at tuning, set up at a quality tuners is a must

 

welder!

 

Sell it and put the funds towards a big offer on gus S1 if he sells it

 

if gus ever flogs that car ill kill him lol ,

espically if its before he finishes it ,

personally for me , best mod to a series two , would be cut out the fucking floor, weld in a cossie floor , low comp , t35 , nice interior , grafted s1 kit ,

perfection

well least thats what im doing lol

beef .

 

a very understanding bank manager!!

 

Cam
Cooler
Breather
cossie front brakes
better susp
Alarm
Samco's
Chip
-31
Exhaust

 

oh yer alarm!!!! that a given aint it

 

That looks a good shopping list
I'd agree with davie tho and say an alarm!

 

first for me, was restore then waxoyl everywhere, then brake upgrade, then suspension, couple of gauges, then set up engine to find out you need new turbo, clutch, metering head, intercooler the list goes on........ then ask yourold man to put the bill on his credit card

 

i wouldnt chip it with a standard intercooler you just get high acts!

 

depends upon what you want from the car and the environment it will be used.

I personally would not want a 300 bhp zetec with coilovers and rose jointed suspension on my daily driver in central london

 

True thats why mines not slammed on 17"s even tho it looks the tits my last one proved it wasnt ideal for roads where i stay

 

only if you run too much boost, 13psi is fine but near the limit on a std cooler.

 

point proven

 

same but would have had better intercooler and turbo in there somewhere

 

... Magnex
... Gaz coilovers
... RS7 spokes

... and probably a rebuild

 

2nd that

 

decent tyres
stainless zorst
silicon hoses
boost guage
chip
intercooler
poly bushes
cam
konis or coilovers with propperly matched springs
ABS binned and decent brake upgrade

 

1 inner cills
2 outer cills
3 outer rear arch's
4 inner rear arch's
5 battery tray
6 floor pans front
7 floor pans rear
8 front panel
9 rear panel
10 boot lid

 

waste money buy 1
get dumped by g/f
weld it all back together
up the boost
give it beans 24/7
blow it up
get skint again
break it again
get pissed off with it
scrap it any buy some thing better

s1 on other hand

zvh
filter
exhaust
grs
chip
coil-overs
rs7 soft spokes
