Would the standard management be able to cope with it though?

That is a load of bull! 250bhp+ Yeah alright mate

Anyway to answer your question, I think it is possible on standard managment to get 250bhp, speak to Oranoco on here. His is a REAL 250bhp.

yes standard management should cope with that with modifications or 5th injector...

i dont think it is 250hp

read the questions:

mfi can fuel safely to 18 psi! so if you have an engine and other components capable of producing 250 bhp at 18 psi then yes it will cope

yes no problem.

Andy - what is it with AVA and the additional pump business?!

KE Jet's problem is calibration, not quantity. Additional Pumps/bigger pumps are for when u really go big power, but thats the same for Efi.

Be REALLY easy to do I came VERY close to doing it recently actually. One day, if im not playing with some exotica i might lol.

Jambo - we know u do

I could make 300hp on KE -im confident - but my fuel economy would be horrendous. I dont like compromises. Hence why i like 300hp and 30mpg

hes never stated where that 250 bhp is measured... it could be flywheel figures, if he knows it pushes out that much he must have dyno sheets

Mines 256bhp as recorded on a DynoDynamics Ego Buster. Still running 1600cc CVH and 8 valves. It's also still on the original fuelpump. The car does run an ERL 5th injector kit but that's more for peace of mind. Boost is actually lower than it was and it now see's peak power at 22psi

Well it is possible, I got 276bhp when mine was on MFi thanks to Karl doing his fuel mod (no 5th injector). And that was the same day that Steve (Oranoco) got around 250 in his RST. Fuel consuption was below 20/mpg even crusing though pmsl
