Might release a few more ponies, 200 my estimate though *IF* you include an o/s pulley in that list. :wink:

Toni, that's already on. Have a look at the mods I've currently got posted then add in the extras from above. Think I'll hit 210?

Not without a chargecooler you won't. Its the limiting factor at 180bhp.

:thumright:

Trust me i've been there iwth the heatsoak issues. Either use a chargecooler or do the ducting thing like i did (see my webshite) if you want to save pennies and are handy with ally sheetwork.

pipework

Post by MarcsMR2 »

Cooling seemed to make a massive difference to the stats.

I love the pipework, much better than the standard black! :D

I'd been thinking of changing the side scoop myself but wanted to keep the same design but pushing it out further.

Well if you are going CC you could leave teh side scoop stock. It was fairly important for my setup and in practice seemed to work pretty well.

yes it pretty much halved the outlet charge temp... made a big difference on track.
