400bhp 1.6 Saxo (eBay)

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.

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

 

 

There are more than a few 500bhp Hyabusa engines which are 1500s.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if it was a genuine 400bhp car. I think I'd be most concerned about the gearbox lasting.
