For sale R1 turbo locost
After lot's of mulling over, thinking,talking with the wife, And thanks to flak monkey-looking at that sv650- i think it's time to put the
car up for sale
I wan't a few more toy's but can't really afford to have them all so something got to go
Right it's a 4xv R1 with j e low comp pistons, carillo rods, Think it's running a set of custom cams as well, fuelling is by suzuki
gsxr1000 (k1 ? i think) throttle bodies running with a kms ecu that also takes care of the ign, closed loop lamda, dash display, boost controller (the
ecu set up cost over £1500 alone) When i bought the engine it was using pectal (read ford cosworth set up) but talking to the engine builder (ashford
motorsport) when the engine was being dyno'ed it didn't seem to like the single throttle body- causing surging so was told this is the
better route,the turbo is a switzer (?sp)
it has a custom pace intercooler, swirl pot, injection pump, carbon micron(large oval) race can, all boost hoses are blue silicone,alloy dump valve
All of this was bought brand new
also new on the car is a lightweight floor mounted pedalbox from apb on here, trigger handbrake, golf 1.4 rad (same as the polo one but the core is
twice as thick) vapor dash, boost gauge
the car has carbon mods front cycle wings, carbon wing protectors,carbon f1 mirrors, light weight fibreglass seats with foam padding,sabelt black
harnesses,wilwood 4 piston front calipers, running on 6 x13 5 spoke alloys with r888 (have seen better days but loads of tread still)
the bad news is the car could do with a tidy esp the wiring, It NEEDS to be mapped either on a rolling road or engine out and dyno'ed(this was
the route i was taking. ashford motorsport has a dyno room-they built the engine and supplied the ecu etc so know it very well) I think it could do
with a custom fuel rail as was never happy with whats on there (was going to get one from flak monkey) The car does run-hasn't been started
since last august but obviously will be run for the buyer, the tickover is almost spot on just needs the rest of the map sorting (it's running
on a blackbird turbo map at the moment just to get it running) Should be running around 260-280 hp at around 8-10 psi can run over 20 psi if you
want
Looking for £4250 (spent more than that on the engine conversion alone!!)

Booooo
I remember it when it had a xflow.
Did you mention it's a road registered car ?
Hope the new owner stays in touch, whoever it ends up with.
I was owner two, you'll be owner five, I think.
Who's up next ?

Ooh, sounds cheap! Send it to me and I'll map it and get it IVA'd. Got to be worth more if finished! If I had the money spare at the
moment I'd be interested myself!

If it's road legal it's gotta be too cheap!

think your ripping yourself off mate
I have seen cars nowhere near as well specced as that fetch more money
and its on a Q plate.
way too cheap, although not cheap enough for me to afford it LOL
maybe its not the right approach, but personally I would be removing the VIN etc, sell as a track car or project, will still make that money, then
keep V5 etc for another project, or maybe sell on.?
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

yeah and LOL
of course your correct it is illegal, but it happens, many times you see a kitcar for sale, obviously been on the road, but without plates and
paperwork.
I wasnt saying thats what he should do, or advocating it, but merely mentioning that it was an option.
seeing as he appears to be giving the car away almost, at that price.
