If he is running around 16psi then 180bhp is spot on fella!

 

WHAT?! from an otherwise standard engine? im impressed.
couple questions also, got a couple bits kicking about, wondered if theyd work.
i have a complete 1.6 16v zetec black top engine (head gasket failure) could any of this be used in building zetec turbo or zvh?
my mates also got a t34 for sale from his astra gte which he never fitted, any good to me?
and finally, an intercooler from an iveco daily 3.5.
cheers guys! R

 

the t34 will be good if its ford fitment, not sure if theres a stud pattern dif or not! as for the 1.6 zetec!..... no its shit and the ic also! lol

 

Yes mate, a healthy standard engine can produce upward of 250bhp with the right turbo and fuelling, 180bhp 100% standard is perfectly normal with a little extra boost

 

The guy hasn't listed a uprated intercooler so 180bhp does sound optimistic!

 

Plenty of RST's making around that on a standard IC mate......... their ACT's will be high but they do it anyway as a lot of people know no different, and RR's vary by so much they may only be making 160bhp?! lol
