Hi

I want to get more BHP out of my FRST iv listed the Enagine Spec so you can see whats been done and i would like help in what i can do next to make it quicker!? it was ment to be running 228bhp i have it rolling roaded and the PSI up to 18psi an its running 200bhp +200torque AT 5400revs and pulls very well but i want more for the summer!

Spec-
Fully rebuilt
-0.5mm overbore lightend and balanced bottem end
-low comp MAHLE pistons,
-high pressure oil pump
-lightened and balanced flywheel
-piper 285t2 cam
-polished and ported big valve head with bronze valves beige injectors
-Group A head gasket
-Group A fuel pump
-Quickshift Air filter
-Pace chargecooler

Transmission
-AP racing 4 paddle Clutch + big bearing gearbox

So its got a good spec!! just want to get it quicker!??

 

What kind of turbo you using ?

 

Change the management system.

 

bang on a t3 turbo if you havnt already

 

hey iv just had a chance to look at my post!

Right its got a t2 hybrid turbo technics iv had it tuned to 18psi

as of now i dont know what chip it has it has got anything in the folders about the chip!

what whats best apart from a T3?

-Re-map?
-managment system?
-i want to see at least 240-250 same again for torque..

i will T3 if its needed but how much would that set me back? and how hard is it to do?

thanks guys i want it donr for USE-santa pod!!

 

the turbo itself shouldnt cost much, new stg 1 for about 450-550, you will need erst manifold, downpipe oil return pipe i believe, and then various water and boost hoses from both cars

 

You might be better fitting a front mount intercooler instead of the chargecooler.

 

-wy would a intercooler be better than a chargecooler?? the chargecooler is working very well along with the Pace rad the car never goes over halfway and somtimes drops! so its working as it should

if i was to change to T3 it would be stage 2 turbo technics but i was hoping i could stay t2 hybrid? and get at least a strong 230-240

also my car wont rev higher than 5-500revs it just bogs out i know its not ment to rev to high but the power just drop (on the rolling road grph)

any other options??

 

Put a Hybrid T3 turbo on, A decent front mount intercooler and throw the piece of shit Piper T2 cam away and fit either the Kent CVH34 or 35 cam with a vernier pulley and spend som etime having it all set up on a rolling road.

As for the chip you will almost certainly have a 195 Superchip seeing as you mention you are running beige injectors.

 

Right ok how much you recon that lot will set me back? shouldt cost more than a 1000 if i was to just go stage 2 T3 and then get the Kent and set it up on the rolling road.

Is it realy worth changing the CAM? would it make ALOT of dif?

thanks alot

 

Correct me if im wrong bu wont you have to get the engine mapped if you put the t3 on... that will cost a bit.

 

Stage 3 T3 with a .48 exhaust housing (should come with that at that spec.).

Change the chargecooler for a front mount intercooler as they suffer very badly from heat soak - when I got my car mapped Ahmed wouldn't do it at first until I got rid of the chargecooler as he said that trying to map it with one of them is like trying to take a shot at a goal that's constantly moving!

The rest of the spec. sounds good, if you're running OFAB management you should be ok for what you want - get it to Grove Garage for mapping

Also - I'd recommend an AP paddle clutch, don't get an Alcon one as they're pony from my own personal experience.

A Bernie stage 2 box would also help you with launching (Quaife diff) and obviously hard engine mounts to stop the dreaded bonnet dent!

Cheers,

Andy

 

Mine wasn't mapped when I went T3. When we had it on th erollers at 2 seperate places it seems it's fueling just fine and we have more grunt to extract

 

Sounds like a good option in that case
