tooquicktostop Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Needs 400 BHP just to pull that sub install around A lot of money, wonder how long it would last on high boost, A friend of mine had a calibre turbo engine in a Nova and it was a death trap, too many horses, FWD and a tin box for protection, no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erol_h Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 is it even possible to get 400bhp out of a 1.6 ok i remember the rs turbo cvh engine could achieve 350bhp but even that was pushing and usually bored 1.9 or had a 2.1 conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I think the power figure may be a little optimistic There are a few small jobs outstanding from what is otherwise a very complete car. The boost install is not wired, has been, so its a simple job. The brake recirculators need to removed and replaced with T pieces (they were incorrect for this setup - £60) There is some small paint damage to front bumper and OS wheel (wheel will need replacing possibly - £130) ECU is on low boost at 1.1Bar, and would advise rolling road time when boost is put back up, as modifications have been made since, and tweak the cold start slightly (this is being picky) It'll be running 150bhp badly, not really what you want from a £15k car really.

n boost Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 and to top it off FWD. Well with the lightweight body and power to weight ratio, you could always convert it to rwd........erm just drive in reverse lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised if it was a genuine 400bhp car. I think I'd be most concerned about the gearbox lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
