1.8t mk2 wow!!

[swiss]

Hi folks,

After spending the past week installing the 20vt in to my mk2 I've finaly got to drive it to work this morning. All I can say is wow what a monster and I've not even fitted the jbs turbo kit yet

I would just like to thank every one who helped me out when I got stuck.

I have noticeed that i get the exhaust popping quite a bit when I let off the accelorator, is this normal??

Cheers.

Ohh I think those civic type r's better watch out

that will most likely be a air leak on your exhaust mate

cool man! i have a 20vt mk2 too! what ecu you running mate? mine pops like a right goodun through the exhaust when letting go of the throttle (flames too!) its quite normal, as fuel is ignited through the red hot turbo! 

what engine code you got?

civic type r's dont stand a chance with mk2 1.8t's, neither do porsche boxsters and caymans!

So so so tempting to do this conversion in a few years

How hard is it to do? Wonder how much a garage would charge to do the work..

Man this always twists me up, go for the affordable torquey 2.0L bottom end jobbie or all out 1.8t! 
A mate of mine bought a new shape type r  2 months ago and has been asking me for a race lol I have told him to wait for abit...

Mine used to pop and bang a lot but exhaust was not properly fixed to downpipe. Does it a little now but not loads.

Sod the 20vt!   VR6ST (Yes Super Charged & Turbo Charged)

honestly, i promise they are. ( i have just two seats, poverty spec windows etc and 240bhp) this isnt some matcho post but they do surprise you of what modern 'sports' cars can have their pants pulled down by an old car! I love it! 

edit: i do have a short ratio gearbox on mine, which probably helps.
