you should change that to he just about kept with me, honest:eek: was well shocked... deff 2.0l it either new or secondhand engine, as said above give nick a ring and see what his got in.. the biggest difference u will notice with the 2.0l is topend perf just dose'nt stop pulling, also lose the...
the obs power fig is the power the car made on the day taking in to consideration the weather and everythingelse... the other fig is a fig produced by the computer which exagerates the same conditions (i.e making it worse for the car) and gives u the lower power fig, i think this is right....
had this done mate, 1st brought a s/h willy engine for £750 inc vat was going to get it rebuilt but nick said it did'nt need it so spent the money basicly sorting anything that needed doing, got a set of cams and pullies fitted then got it remapped (145bhp atw at the time), cost was £2700:eek...
i just use the add 20% method, 144.5 divided by 100 = 1.445 x 20 = 28.9 + 144.5 = 173.4bhp at the fly, gets close imo... strange how a few were having a go at maz getting 151bhp atw the other day....( in a 182 )
hate seeing vids like this, makes me miss my turbo so much:( :( :( , also makes me think of getting mine done, wanted something new to do this year:race: , sounds very nice mate and WILL go like fook...
hence why i own the clio:D , cheapest and fastest too.... know what u mean with the lights;) , wing got cracked coming off the hillpower rollers:( but looks as iv got 1 sorted so its fine :D
thought id post a few pics of mine and my friends cars, 1 of my mates just got the lexus today, bit of a strange choice at 24 imo but it is a very nice car, other car is an astra sri and mine the hybrid with the cracked wing:(..., im trying to get both to come to the bb rr day, astra is a def...
running lean topend means at he top end of the revs 5-7k, its not getting enough petrol, has the air avaible but not enough juice to match. getting it remapped again so the air/fuel ratio is spot on= morepower:D , a rough at the fly guess would be around 170bhp, again not to bad as its not...
thought id post up my vid of the car on the rollers at hillpower last sat, car mada 141bhp at the wheels, not to bad considering its running lean top end ( not sure if you could tell by the vid ) , its a 2.0l f7r , piper cams and pulleys, hillpower chip mapped to engine, valver manifold, itg and...
i was there, got 141bhp atw. i would of liked to get a bit more but the car is running lean topend, once the fuelings sorted should get abit more, was happy enough with my result tho. imo i think that hillpowers rollers seem to be a good guide to what the car is making....
would'nt say that was bad, as maz said its an at the wheel fig which once u add tran loss at around 20% u get 181bhp at the fly, not bad considering the engs still tight.. should go up as u put more miles on it:D
imo i would'nt go spending money on the 1.8, its is a very good engine, ive had 2 ( 1st seemed loads better than the 2nd ) but the 2.0l is so much more than an extra 13 bhp imo, hell of a lot easier to drive fast not always ringing its neck and you see better gains when u mod it. you could...
not to bad, just a bit of plastic going to sort a second hand one, that should do it... also got to get my tracking checked as most of the tyre ended in a pile of dust, not good
had a good day today apart from a small accident with my car coming off the rollers oh well not to worry easy to fix, car made 141hp atw but was told its running lean top end so im going back to get my modded pump fitted and also get it remapped, he said there is more in it just got to sort the...
thanks for the comments peeps, mattyh id keep yours as it is as that seems fine to me, torsion bar is very easy to do basicly take out bars adjust arm to required height then bang the f**k out the bars with a hammer to get them back in ( little bit more to it but a very easy job imo ) there were...
yep that the smashed 1 next to it:( , gonna see how i feel on sunday as im going to the hillpower rr day on sat and that a nice 360mile round trip;) , cars fills like its on rails:D just gotta get the tracking done now....
thought id post a few pics of my lowering efforts today:D , have now become a master at lowering the rear of a mk1 clio after 4 attempts...
front a little low with std rear.. ( this pic was taken on my n70, not bad for a phone imo:D )
rear to low...
looks good from behind tho...
after...
sorry to hear that mate, car was very nice. i was sat behind you at pod in my blue hybrid on sunday, not to worry as i smashed my last clio at the new year and just brought another valver ( for £900) and swapped everything over which was'nt damaged, just do the same cheapest option imo...
