collecting bits for a 998 turbo build
Turbo Mini Forums

hi, iv decided to go down the 998 turbo build route, so wondering what bits people have kicking around and are willing to sell , id prefer to get it off here than ebay as im less lightly to get shafted,
so any bits you would like me to take off your hands or going cheap, my shopping list so far is:

a t2 turbo, any model as ill be making a manifold so i can make it fit, sutible for a standard 998 engine.
a sutible turbo carb
an inlet manifold
a pendulem
a cooper head, or a head thats been enlarged to work with flat tops, laters probably better, im on a student budget

im based neer lichfeld in staffordshire, and as im skint would like to keep postage/ travel to a minimum , so neer buy would be best, light items are ok , and heavy things hopfuly local or if we could work something out maby TM post , or im right by M6 toll a38 if anyone uses these :)

thankyou very much for your time, hope to here from some of you soon :)

If you dont mind pocketing your block i can sell you:

A 12g940 casting head. Should be able to get down to 8.5:1 compression ratio.

A near new allow inlet manifold.

You would then need a hif44 either turbo or get a converion kit.

A plenum chamber.

hi, i was trying to avoid any block work so ill hold out for the right head for a while thanks, im intrested in the manifold tho, do you know what make it is and a price in mind?

Have you thought about a gt15 or an ihi turbo.? More available and more efficient. Search on gt15.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

whats a pendulem with regards to turbo builds???? :s

If you don't fancy a GT15, i have a T2 for sale in good condition, just in need of a rebuild, Not difficult to do yourself, there's a good guide on here is you do some searching.

so im open to anyhing, but a full unit with actuator would be preferable , thanks

Add cross pin diff to your list pal.

i was wondering about that, but i had a bit of a search and forund a few threads saying a standard box is ok up to 100bananas?

box yes, diff no. standard diff brake if you look at them wrong...

Here's my diff from a while back.

Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

yeah stick the bit in and give it a wobble

You mullered yours because you are a hooligan benny!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

well theres no point having power if i cant put it down so a uprated diff is on the list !

I love hooligan-ism lol

Its not a case of that, youll be all over the road with higher power levels on a cross pin diff. You just wont break it. Doubt you will have too many issues at circa 100hp 100lbs/ft though tbh.

However, this is an addictive game.

aha if i do it right now itll be less hassle when i want to upgrade i suppose :)
