Want to go a little further and just want a nice, untemperamental, nice sounding, quick road car circa 300bhp but not looking to spend a fortune. Car is a weekend toy. Engine is fit and healthy and has Mongoose exhaust, GP A Cone filter, Bailey dump valve and Samco boost hoses. Also has Koni adjustable suspension and Tarox discs.
Looking to go Bayoo stage 3 chip, 803 greens, 3 bar Map, -31 Actuator with boost of 20-21psi and would have it set up properly. Do not want the expense of new ECU, T34 or bigger intercooler (yet). Realistically, is 300bhp possible with the above spec. utilising standard T3 and intercooler. Also, is engine breather kit needed at these outputs.
What are your thoughts ? Any other or better suggestions how to achieve reliable 300bhp ish with standard ECU, T3 and 2wd intercooler ?
yes 300hp is easily obtainable with the above spec; however as big urn states you will need a 4x4 intercooler - the rest is fine as it is. the 4x4 cooler is slight deeper than a 2wd cooler, but is alot better
i would always recommend getting a aftermarket engine breather on a standard engine as quite frankly the standard item is crap
300hp on a t3 will be a very punchy road car and is a good set up
i had a MSD (motorsport developments) chip in my 2wd and it was brilliant, wouldnt use anything else
if you havent already you need to rewire your fuel pump for a direct feed from the battery, this is a MUST for all cossies
its easy to do, i have a wiring diagram if needed
