Hey guys i need to expert advice on what best for my upcoming plan !
Quick overview; purchased another RS after the old one pretty much fell apart. This one has had thousands of pounds spent on it taking it back to a stripped rolling shell, fresh pans welded in, all rust removed, resprayed her and replaced all the parts back up. The engine had done 90k miles, and by word of the owner had also been undertaken in the restoration. Apparently having only done under 4k miles since completion.
Not sure how far they went with the engine though? But why spend that on the car then not the engine i guess?
The car has a scorpion exhaust, has been chipped, -31 actuator, cone air filter , uprated inter cooler - so all the necessaries for a stage 1.
For some reason a dyno test print out from 2008 shows the car running at 150bhp. Now since then a stage 2 hybrid turbo has been fitted to this car and has been set up to run the standard 7 psi (half bar) which im told is factory standard.
I can tell you the car doesn't feel like 150 bhp when i drive it.
(do you think it wasnt re-set up after adding the s2 Hybrid ?)
So here is my plan:
With all the mods already attached, and the s2 hybrid bolted on, im heading towards a kent camshaft kit for the head, then getting her set up on the rolling road to output 14-16 psi boost. Now i know the hybrid will be able to handle this extra pressure,
But will the engine components?
Im hoping the output of this will bring me close to the 190bhp region as im running mfi at the moment
Any issue running 190bhp at 14-16psi with mainly standard engine components?
Anyway guys look forward to getting some advice on this , ill speak to you soon !!
