check aron, he has a knack for finding parts all over

note that you will get stock munroe shocks from mathura's st james or juterams in arima, not sure if the 4dr shocks is the same, but i think it could work

4dr swift cradle will work, a place on caroni savannah road had up til bout 2 mths ago, dunno if they have again

or check the usual, boodrams or rexcar

Ay fellas yall got some nice rides here Smile

Haven't posted for a while, it's been a couple years oui!
I have a swift that's been boosted about 5 years now, here's some specs off the top of my head:

8.5 CR pistons with .030" overbore (slightly increased capacity Twisted Evil

)
Cast exhaust manifold
Garrett T25bb wc turbo
SR20DET downpipe
2.25" exhaust tubing
Full mandrel bent intake plumbing
Sparco hoses all round
TurboXS type-S BOV (cant remember exactly) Laughing

Link Engine management
Haltec A/F ratio meter
Ignition stock, but advanced to 15 degrees BTDC (stock is 7)

I'm only running 8psi, I dont see the sense in using more, traction problems and drivetrain longevity are a factor for me.. But dont get me wrong, this thing pulls!

Here's a teaser pic.. more to come later Wink

yeah jonathan this a better post to hijack lol!

your gti has got to be the cleanest turbo gti in t'dad!!

to answer your post, i posted my specs on page 2 of this post, it been a work in progress, did all the work on the car and engine by myself, with my dad's help, right down to building the manifold, thats my pride n joy lol

Click for full-size.

my homemade AVO turbo kit lol, n ur right more boost really makes no sense, will break tracton in at least three gears for u......

i thought you migrated didnt hear from you in a while. i think i met your dad once, in chaguaramas, drives a clean, white cultus, right?

post more pics

oh and another piece of fabricating im proud of, a dual downpipe

Nice manifold man! Looks like it flows really well, good job! Mine is shorter and cast iron, but it positions the turbo so we can keep the AC, thank God! Laughing

Yup that's my dad, Chris is his name. He drives the white swift, it's not a true cultus, but the cultus cams, intake manifold and exhaust manifold were installed. He also installed the 60mm throttle body. It runs pretty good for a N/A swift.

You could say we're a GTi family, lol! We own 3 swifts: 2 white non-turbos, and the red turbo one. We do all the work on them ourselves. And we even do work on other swifts for people who can't get the quality work done elsewhere!

I don't drive the red one as much these days since I bought another vehicle (corolla, don't laugh!) I wanted a more comfortable ride for all the traffic these days, can't blame a guy for that! Laughing

My dad drives the turbo one more than me these days, but I still consider it mine, lol! We've done alot of work between us tweeking and perfecting everything in that car, sort of a labour of love Embarassed

Here's some more pics

Jonathan, or you is danny brother??? heard about this car nice i want to install a/c and turbo after

Slayer · Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2008 1:38 am Post subject:

sweet!! turbo and A/C the best combination in a gti......im getting another ride for comfort, so i said "to hell with A/C!" i regretting it now though lol

i got the lowdown from garth, he told me about your dad and the swifts. spoke very highly of your family's knowledge and technical skills with the gti's. very highly! should make a pass by garth and put it on the dyno, see if the kit gives you the actual 200 hp

thats the AVO kit right? those kits put the intake behind the battery....i have my hands on that very same kind of manifold as well, and you forgot bout all the whitline suspension parts! lol!

labour of love is right!! no better words to describe it....im sure right now your pics driving man crazy to turbo charge their cars!!

^^Electrical Contact cleaner. DIfferent brands have different names, easily found in a hardware/electrical shop.

But it doesn't sound like that's the problem.

Knight1 you rollin in a swift sport now?? if so? how is it? thinking of getting one Mr. Green

Knight1 · Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 1:51 pm Post subject:

^^Yep. Sold the P11 and got a Swift Sport.

Whaddya wanna know about it? The performance thus far blows the old P11 out of the water BTW Shocked

swift gti funatic · Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 2:28 pm Post subject:

Basically your general view on it.. fuel consumption.. handling..everyday usage. If i get one it's gonna be a run around car.. town and back runs every morning etc Boy i thinkin of selling my P11 aswell basically maintainence and you can't beat a brand new car with a glorious warranty Twisted Evil

Knight1 · Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 2:52 pm Post subject:

Warranty my foot. A new car is a new car yes. Any dealer from N&M going right back will try to skimp on cost when they're servicing your car.

Well mih SS is the daily driver (5mt...can't comment on the auto version)...........

Fuel consumption....don't expect anything great, but it will be better than the P11. Now, the SS runs a very short ratio box IMHO, so 120 km/h is like almost 4000 rpm......160 takes you above 5 k rpm. And gears are also close ratio.......

So compared to a regular swift, it has decreased mileage (as the regular car I imagine has taller final ratios), but the M16A engine pulls the strongest anywhere north of 4500 km.....so that means on 5th gear, you can overtake easily w/o gearing down.

I still manage 30 mpg traffic/hway driving (it comes with a gas mileage meter).

Handling is superb for a stock car. It certainly has better turn-in than the WRX (when it was on stock suspension anyway), but the fact that it has such a short wheelbase has alot to do with it IMO. The sport maxx tyres are also great.

In terms of how the suspension is setup, it's very similar to the Tiida/Corolla (e.g. the front sway bar on the SS and the Tiida have almost identical "tie" points on the front struts). Rear suspension is almost identical to the other two cars as well. The SS rides stiffer than most other new cars IMHO as well (slightly stiffer spring rates, and different struts I imagine).

The engine is an 11:1 compression ratio (well at least thats how it is with the SS - can't say for other 1.6 'zukis) with shot peened rods and oil squirters (beneath the pistons??). But despite all that tech., the high comp ratio means you gotta use premium. Shocked

Yea i must admit the warranty isn't all that great and they are very strict on thier policies in terms of mods you can do to you vehicle btw How is it in traffic? Mr. Green

all in all seems like a fun car to drive but would u recommend it? I use premium in my p11 anyways wouldn't make much of a difference to me.
