Default Rouse Cosworths - What is the difference mechanically

between a Rouse and a standard 4x4 ?

Is there a different turbo, injectors, ecu etc ? Is the equivalent upgrade a stage 1 cpnversion.

Cheers

Steve

Basically it has a smaller turbo, so less lag. Apart from that I think under bonnet is pretty much same as standard Saff Cos.

Found some info from a magazine that states redesigned induction, intake and remap along with numerous other unspecified modifications to the engine. The performance figures look like a 30 % improvement between 30 -50 mph, 50 - 70 mph etc over a standard car.

Cheers

As you would expect from a car with nearly 50% more power than the "standard" Sapphire Cosworth...

50 % more power ? The figures from the brochure show 260 bhp at 5000 rpm. An increase of 15 % over the standard car.
