View Full Version : decisions, decisions
Right i need opinions from people.
I've currently got a williams 1 no212, and a turbo'd valver. I have to sell 1 cos i cant afford to run both. I DONT KNOW WHICH TO SELL :x
The williams is almost mint, all it needs is a new water pump and a respayed rear bumper and its there. But the valver is fast as fook,and is such a thrill to drive, but costs a lot on petrol. If i do sell the valver i will ITB the williams. If i sell the williams i got more money to throw at the valver HELP.
Personally I would keep the williams if it is a financial driven exercise!

Id sell the Turbo imho. Financially your likely to be better off long term

lol not helping :lol:
lol :D
just out of interest , what sort of power are you running on the turbo ?
and whats the mpg you are getting ?
its got 201 bhp, 187 ib/ ft torque and weighs 892 kilos according to the corner weights. Not to sure mpg wise, but it guzzles a damn sight more than the wil. I knew it would be more juicy when i bought it but bloody hell. :lol:

Its basically a low boost coversion, running at 8 psi of boost on 9.1.1 comp pistons with standard rods.
Even if i do itb the williams i dont think it will be nearly as fast as the valver.

SELL THE VALVER! :o
Right after a lot of thought i have decided i will prob sell the valver. As i have got the williams to a point where it is as good as new. I will post some pics on either mon or tues.
Since i have had the valver i have fitted-
New garrett t28 roller bearing turbo from aet turbos
Sparco buckets
Willans 4 point harnesses
Custom bar at rear of car to mount the eye bolts and strengthen rear.
K-tec big brake kit
Rocker cover gasket
New battery
Spark plugs
New high def bulbs all round
forge dump valve
and countless oil and filter changes
I MUST BE MAD :lol:

this surely cant be true , there are quite a lot of people running
turbo valver/williams engines nicely .
engine is fine, its the transmission that suffers :lol:
ive has no engine trouble at all so far. Cos its low boost, its not really under much more strain than before. Am looking at getting a williams box for it soon, with a gripper diff.

What do you want out of the car? Daily commuter? Weekend bit of fun?
All depends on your needs, personally I'd keep the valver as I love speed and the sensation of acceleration too much.
Why not swap the engines and sell the valver as a hybrid?
DECIDED. im gonna keep the valver. As much as i love the williams, it doesn't want for anything at the mo, so i wanna concentrate on getting the valver mint.
Plus its so fast it scares me. :lol:
Hmm i kept the williams and the turbo, and am looking at ITB's on the williams if that helps
cough.....too much money.....cough :wink:
I'd sell the valver and strip it of parts and sell them seperately.
Sad to do, I know, but it means more cash for the Willy...
