If you wanted to convert it completely you would need rear window electrics installed (and door trim to match), exhaust changed........... what else is there that's different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really phased by the electrics inside the car and stuff like that. Just engine,computer and driveline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob^ Member 170 Member For: 21y 4m 9d Location: Geelong Posted 04/04/06 02:42 AM Share Posted 04/04/06 02:42 AM im in the process of doing it now ill let ya know how I go im only a couple of weeks off getting it up and running<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Is there much in the way of wiring differences to worry about?Having bought my car brand new 2 years ago, selling it for a 15-20k loss just to get a turbo doesn't seem all that appealing.

For the young fellah considering this - buy something smaller and faster that isnt restricted - do your time and buy an F6 in a couple of years.

gogo Member of team Kittens Member 609 Member For: 21y 17d Location: Melbourne Posted 04/04/06 04:01 AM Share Posted 04/04/06 04:01 AM Speak with Simon at Nizpro. They built a Fairmont Ghia turbo before you could get all the luxury options in the XR's, and have turbo'd a couple of na territories so have some experience with going through this process.I am sure they could do this work and give a you a indication of price to do so, however I suspect that they would have based this around their stage II Cobra kit plus you would need to add the turbo, manifolds, exhaust as a minimum, which I suspect would take this well over your 10k budget.Either way have a chat with Simon, and good luck!!!!Cheers, Ben.

CAPA have a kit for 6k that makes 230rwkw on the standard NA engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
