Default looking for advice

ive recently got an RB5 in normal spec rather than the WR edition,
what sort of power can i push this car up to reliably?
is 300 bhp possible? if so what would i need to do to achieve a good power hike from standard spec?

thanks Brad

Hi Brad well done on your new car.

You won't go far wrong looking at what you can do to your RB5 on here :-

Indeedy mate, check out the RB5 owners club. Those guys know the cars better than anyone.

As far as i know the RB5 is just a Turbo 2000 Uk car with the PPP running aprrox 240bhp. Id say that 300bhp is by no means pushing the engine to dangerous levels providing you have the correct supporting mods. ie, fueling, turbo and intercooler etc.
