Default More power,

Ok I have a few Questions.

Currently i have a scs chip and a full stright through exhaust and filter.

Running 197.8 Bhp at the fly wheel @ 1 Bar

I want more power but i am kind of skint. any ideas.

Also what would i have to do to get 200@ the wheels.

Also at the moment standard cooling is fine it never even goes to half way.

very ambitious figures if you ask me

difficult one but what you have said wont happen, but you have to be cruel to be kind! save some money up and get a proper engine built to get the power you want, also remember you will need better running gear as well , especially the gearbox , budget between £500-£1k for a good box.

there are not that many tuners who deal with rs turbos any more[ that are any good ] so please be carefull when spending money with them.

Well i got the rolling road graph to prove it and I am not completly skint, and i do have money comingin all the time so i am going to do bits as i go along. So what next new cam, then clutch? Just need a list of what order to do things in to get me upto 200 @ wheels[/b]

No first off if you want to run more than 1bar of boost you will need a bigger intercooler! a half size pace jobbie is ok for upto 18psi.....and you will keep the std rad fan to keep things cool! if you do go for a full front mount go for a pro alloy one!

200@ wheels is alot of power..and your engine will need to come apart! for rods/pistons and the rest as for clutch go ap organic! as for cam piper t2 which is ok for your 1bar! other than that..read the mags look on here! im sure loads of people will adivse you firther!
