Default EsCos BHP

I own a small turbo 1995 Excort Cosworth. TOTALLY standard.

I'm looking at raising the BHP to around the 300 mark so what would be the most cost effective way of doing this ?

I phoned Alistair at GGR in Leicester and he wanted £1195 & VAT !!!!!!

£1,404.13 inclusive.

Seeing that I already spent £1,195 on SERIOUS security for the car only last week, I cannot justify spending that amount just yet.

Any ideas ??

Thank you mate, only problem is, isn't he based in Blackpool ??

I'm in Sth Wales and to get up tp Blackpool would be virtually impossible for me. I work 96 hours a day, 18 days a week, 112 weeks a year !!!!

We do a conversion that gives between 285 and 305bhp depending on teh condition of the engine. It will run your turbo at 20psi.

I can package you up a DIY conversion that you can fit yourself locally and then have her checked over on teh most local rollers if required.

Stu, thank you mate, that sounds like just the ticket.

I am DEF interested in this. If I bought the kit off you, would there be anyone in the Sth Wales area that you could recommend to fit it for me ?

I would be happy with Gareth checking your fuelling. hes a clever chap and wouldnt let little things slip that were of importance.

Hes quite familiar with my stuff having set a few up i believe.

Mate, you're not doing this for the benefit of your health.

When you do the work on my car, you WILL be paid. At the end of the day, I would be paying through the nose for reliable guys to work on my car if I took it to a garage, so it shouldn't be any different if I brought the car to you mate.

What I mean is, if I took my car to a garage that I trusted, I would be paying top dollar, so I honestly believe that when Gareth does the work on my car, I should also pay him well.

Gareth, seeing as you're not charging me then mate, while you've got the car, could you also do a full valet on it, fill it up with petrol, and tax it for 12 months for me ??

JOKING !!!!

Seriously though, Thank you mate, what an absolutely top guy. When I get the bits off Stu I'll give you a ring.
