Sure Hoffmans would love several people calling up all asking the same question on a very speculative basis.  This is a community to share information, the question was asked and if no-one knows yet then hopefully one of our more interested members will make the call and share the results.  For me it's an interest that I have neither the time not the inclination to follow up on myself as the information is not available after a Google search.

I'll try to remember and ask when I go there this morning 

[tim_marra]

Chris isn't there today. It can be done with the NA, but obviously more work is needed. I'll find out though and post here

Thanks.  Can you get an approx price from them.

Will it be a few £k more or likely double the £6300 cost for S cars.

I guess most of us NA owners just need to see if we should simply rule out the idea due to price.

I'm doing it now!

mate is driving as I type this. Waiting for him to put his foot down........

[robcarter]

Very generous of you... would want to feel the change all myself! @tim_marra

[tim_marra]

Long drive home so I have had a go and now it is his turn. I still have 40 miles of twisties once we reach his house

I'll hazard a guess at about the same as part-exing to an S and then getting the swap done...

[21gg]

Tim, please tell me you've woken up this morning with your face aching from smiling yesterday! Come on, cough, how is it? 

[21gg]

Tim, did they manage to keep the engine cover or not?

[robcarter]

@tim_marra unlikely to respond in the next few weeks if he is enjoying the new found power so much!!

[21gg]

Yes the sheep his way aren't going to know which way to run 

[tim_marra]

This has been the case for many a year when they see me approaching 

Anyway, first impressions are:-

Based on initial pricing from Hofmann's, due to various additional part needed to convert an NA to this upgrade, the cost over the price to convert an S is north of £6,000. It's not a straight forward job, but SSC has done one in Australia so it is possible. Hofmann's are still on the case so if/when I get more information I will post it here.

[21gg]

I knew that would get a response! I look forward to a ride in it mate. Did they manage to refit the engine cover? 

[tim_marra]

Some pics very kindly supplied by Hofmann's of my upgrade (before and after). And yes, the engine cover still fits 

 

[C8RKH]

Wow, a real wolf in sheep's clothing that one!  Very nice.

I would not go to the cost of converting an NA, I guess it would be £10k at least. I'd trade in for an S and then upgrade the S.

[phenoyz]

How many HP is added to an  S?

How about for an NA?

[mik]

Amazed the engine cover still fits. 

nice

Good news it has made you happy - what stands out???

[tim_marra]

What stands out? Hmm, the sheer grunt across the rev range in any gear, and the subtle supercharger whine that comes with it is probably the most memorable aspect.

Due to the road conditions, and the 340 miles of mostly motorway running we did yesterday there was no real opportunity to explore the geo differences although it is noticeable immediately you get behind the wheel.

In short, it is a brilliant upgrade 

Oh, and Hofmann's have been great throughout.

Very cool mate!

I wonder what can they do to an N/A?

Your Geo? New Nitron's?

Cheers, Pete :>)

SSC websites states around 410bhp for the S.

Should be the same for the NA I would have thought but will cost around £15k probably.

which makes it  $21,359.76 US Dollar
