How do i do that to my bonnet i think it looks smart mate?

 

bonnet raisers. Aids cooling mate. get them off ebay chap

And how many washers

thanks for the kind comments

How do you find the chargecooler

 

i rasied mine without blocks , and only 3 washers per side

 

Davie, if it's low boost - they ARE better than an intercooler

 

For the sake of £15 max, do it right the first time

 

Still got mine to fit, may do this tomorrow if it ain't so cold

 

i wil have a pace i/c wen i have got the gear box fitted, hopefully wil b able to run more boost wen the box is fitted, it eated the standard one away in about 300 miles on full boost. the box was only 10k old. must have some torque on my RS, havent had it roaded yet

 

Just make sure it ain't the half size one, and with the fitting I did last week with the full frontal version Pace intercooler - good luck!!

 

Please dont fit one of these

no no no, not that one, i want the huge one

what psi do u think wil be safe to run wen i have the new box and i/c

 

You still on MFI

 

unfortunately.

 

Depends on fueling, and more important strength of bottom end
A tuner will only go to what is a safe limit

 

230 @ fly max

 

230bhp?????

 

Thats what i recon you will get, if the MFI has had mods you may see more but not much

 

gutted i was hoping to more than that!

so should i change to efi?? is it difficult??

or wil developing a 5th injector help?

 

Forget the 5th injector

Save up for your EFI conversion

What power were you hoping to get

 

hopin closer to 250, but thats cool. is the efi dificult to do. what gains wil i see

minimum of £1500 ----- ouch!, its gonna be at least 2k to get it back on the road!

 

Better start saving those pennies

 

yours runnin efi?? is the power difference worth the 1500 quid

 

Im still on MFI making 240 bhp, still on a 1.6

 

very nice!! i am tempted to brake it cause its gunna b 1200 for the box, 250-300 to fit, needs and m.o.t and a service! so even if i call that 2 grand its stil guna b another £1500 minimum to get it up to efi

so thats £3500 minimum!!

i love my RS to bits but its a lot of dollar! may jus get a cosworth! but i prefer the look of my rst over a sapphire

 

Just do it but by bit, then you can enjoy it more

 

looks like i have just got a second job for the evenings. therefore all the money i earn wil go to the car!

this a good or a bad idea??
