Irvy Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 after some reading...well most of today actually- i am trying to find out how to increase power but at a cost relative to bhp ie what sort of route would you take if you were on a budget with an already BPU car my thoughts were 1. hybrids, emanage/profec/safc etc, fse 2. fmic, 650 injectors, fse emanage/profec/safc on standard turbos 3...what other combinations are there? and is there anything else to consider with points 1 and 2? thanx for any input Irvine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 As a guide I have Hybrids, FMIC, 550's, emanage, FSE, Blitz SBC ID-III boost controller and that gives approx 474bhp at the flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 sounds good heck problem is my budget wont spread that far...so gotta think of options with only some of the above for power gains....but your present set-up is definitely something to aim for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 at present i am on approx .9 with the CW pipes....good for 1.2 if it were the hybrid route...i would expect 1.4 at least (just gotta find some cheap hybrids) power wise...i aint greedy...presently running about 350....anything 400 or more would make me smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would first fit a more efficient intercooler, either a front mounted or one of Chris' side mounted IC's. I would then fit 550cc injectors in the stock fuel rail and an emanage ultimate. Get the car properly mapped to run at say 1.25bar (you may also want to fit a boost controller and if you want a bit more mid-top end power then a set of in256/ex264 cams.) This would be similar to my current set up and should give you around 400-430hp at the flywheel. Only once I had these supporting mods fitted would I consider fitting hybrids.
