Ive just bought myself a s2rs and its had a bit of engine work done any ideas hw much bhp it could be putting out with the followng spec.....
2 litre zetec bottom end
mahle low compression pistons
ported/flowed head
uprated kent cam
vernier pulley
full exhaust system 3"bore.. 4" tailpipe
hybrid cossie t3 turbo holding 17/18psi....
thedrive home had me spinning the wheels in 4th.. . but it was fcukin wet ..cheers all...p.p

 

210

 

i say about 230

 

cool if its 210 how the hell do the guys with 240hp+ put it down, mine torque steers all over the place

 

also ive got a standard airbox with a kn element, is it worth getting a kn cone filter?, and its not running a dump valve is that a bad thing?, would putting a baileys piston style one be a worthwhile mod? cheers

 

A decent suspension set up

 

cone filters are good when on the move but soak in hot air when idling so make sure its getting cool air, and theirs no need for a pump valve we hate them

 

Drill the cold side of airbox and you'll be fine.

Only fit a dump valve if you want to sound like a bus there is NO performance or safety gained by fitting one on an RST

 

cool cheers for the advice fellas...i c that uve got a dumpvalve in ur sig pic sufsRS...lol . what do u think of it?

 

it was only on for a while due to splitting a boost pipe its since been thrown into the garage

 

whats the max boost i should run with this spec? its got a 2 stage bost switch and the 17/18 psi is low i havent used the other stage yet!

 

unless your running a gt series turbo with loads of boost

 

If its 18 PSI on low, dont turn it up - otherwise your rs ownership stage of your life will come to an expensive end, 2 Stage boost controllers usually half the PSI, so if your running 18 psi on low, high will be 36 psi which i dont think works out

for example, my low boost is 13 psi, and my high is 26 - 27, but sometimes on a nice cold morning or night, it will boost 30 psi - now thats fun !

 

MIne hit 30 on the way to Southend one night. I stopped and turned the boost down. Saddly too much as it was only holding 15psi
