hi flow heads

[pug106jb]

thinkin of buying a ready tuned engine from them, not sure exactly what yet

looking to spend between 3-5k on it

anyone had any experience with dealing with them or bought an engine from them???

[chompy]

no!

dont!

nnnnnnnoooo!!

[pug106jb]

why???

[Fuzzy Orange]

No dont! Absolutely do not

Not if you're spending that much money - go to someone with a better reputation :)

[chompy]

why???

i know someone who used to work there...and well....he told me how they used to do some things. not going to reveale as that would be slander but trust me, don't go there!

[pug106jb]

ok can anyone reccomend anywhere
ideally i'd like to either go the throttle bodies route or even supercharge it if i can afford it
any ideas

pug1off.com

spoox

cituning

I got my engine ported and polished from them. Engine was thrashed to bits and never missed a beat. On the other hand my mate took his 205 turbo down there and was nuthing but hassle from them! Eventually got it back, but not finished!

Could give you a guys number that builds peugeot track cars up my way, does it for a hobby, so aint expensive and knows his stuff. Currently doing vts on bodies and my 106 turbo.

[pug106jb]

not goin near pug1off they arse rape ya lol, gud lads that work there but i ent payin there prices
where are spoox and cituning

could u find out how much it is costing for the vts on bodies inc parts and ecu ect. pls

thanx

Would a head be ok from hi flow,

I want my cylinder head Rebuilt with new valve spring and what not, also want it port polished.

all depends how my Rolling road session goes at ecosse though.

[fred]

Qep?

[james_pug]

QEP are good, there building a engine for someone on saxosportsclub thats currently 202bhp N/A and there still trying other things on it, http://www.q-e-p.co.uk/index.asp

[bridgend boy]

gmc or qed would be my choice!

[DeekB]

Do QEP do cylinder heads on an exchange basis like Hi flow heads.

[fred]

Yeah I think they do. Phone matt up, he loves it!

[DeekB]

lol, will do mate,

Just need to wait for some spare paper to come along!

[106_xsi]

Another recommendation for QEP from me

[rich-gti]

stay well clear fom hi flow heads

complete cowboys and i have a list of fualts from a engine they so called rebuilt for my m8

[Fuzzy Orange]

Yeah a mate of mine had an engine done at hiflow as well - total bodge job

[pug106jb]

thank f**k i asked about it before i went ahead with having work done with them
need to look around i think

[DeekB]

that's not good then,

Would a head from qep be around the same price as one from hi flow?

[aidy]

didnt high flow get booted off the pgac discounters list for unreliable trading fuzzy? it was summat like that i'm sure.

and if anyone knows about arse raping for cash, its the PGAC ;)

[Seph]

Depending where your located mate a few options really.

Full conversion, drive in and drive out.

- GMC (charger specialists)
- Pug1Off (arent expensive compared to ecosse)
- Shenpar
- QEP (great engine builders)

Or alternatively get Richard Longman to build you an engine, hes the dogs dangleys.

[ste_106_gti]

I'd say ecosse but even if every 106owners member chipped in £100 you still wouldn't have enough for an airfilter from them.

[WARDY]

lol ive read half of thread and by look of it id say dont go either lol

[aidy]

[pug51]

[ste_106_gti]

I'm sensing that you may have had a bad experience with them? lol

[chompy]

ive never heard anything good about ecosse either

[pug106jb]

spoke to people from ecosse at either trax or fcs and they were selling second hand bits from there stand at stupid prices and wouldnt haggle, doubt they sold anythin unless some rich boy liked somethin he see lol

[greenpug]

gmc or qed would be my choice!

[DeekB]
