rovervi Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have read on a few occasions now that you cant get above 240BHP without spending silly money (without Turbo) what kind of extra Bhp do you think this would actually give (lets say yu were starting at 220bhp): Manifold (states + 8 - 12 BHP) Blitz nur spec and double decat (+ ?? not sure) Lightened Pulleys (states + 8) What does anyone think just curious and thought it would be a good discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 250bhp will cost you around 3k assuming you already have 226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Rover VI.. I own a SZ NA, Ive had it FULLY serviced and replaced everything! She runs as sweet as a nut.. Its got a NurSpec, 2nd DEcat, Walbro Fuel pump, IK24s, K&N panel filter..... What do you reckon she ran on the dyno? 216! Shes quick though! Unfortunatly you cant just reel off the numbers suppliers give, They are usually BS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The most ive seen on our Dyno for a NA was a facelift SZ-R, it ran 251.5HP... It would keep up with a standard TT no less! It was running cams, Full Decat, Fuel Pump, Unknown engine mods, with a modified OEM ECU that alowed the car to rev to over 8K! To recreate just the rev limit would cost you an AEM ECU + Mapping alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 216 really thats interesting, do you think the Dyno figures can be wrong sometimes as i was reading a thread the other day where a chap had his dynoed at 241, crazy amount of difference I think the best gauge is probably what you say Jody what it feels like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Dynos can be wrong yes, Our Dyno (Interpro) read a standard Focus ST170 yesterday at 168, So going on that ide say my 216 was accurate.. (others would say different ) However when i put my car up against other NAs, I seem to have the edge.... I have jsut fitted a lightened Fidanza flywheel that has made a hell of a difference in acceleration too! Good Mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovervi Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 with mine being a daily drive its fast enough for what i need but no doubt over time things will get added here and there and i just wondered about the impact they would have, and i just love how the 19's look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovervi Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Jsut drop a TT lump in it. Easy loads a power for £3500 ish i agree thats probably the way to go if looking for more power, or just buy a TT as well, out of interest how would the stock NA auto box cope with that?

wallace9 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 These claim to be able to get up to 40bhp for less than a grand but depends what the fitting costs would be http://www.suprastore.com/60hpnabpukit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraPL Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 250bhp will cost you around 3k assuming you already have 226 To be honest i prefered n/a engines but +25bhp for a 3k is just a wast of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
