UK Standard scoob bar a Magnex tail pipe, 1997.

I got £1k to up the bhp, what should I do??

 

You might manage a full de-cat and remap for that...just

 

id spend a bit on brakes and suspension mate,you will be surprised how quicker the car will feel

 

as dannytwo, your tandard stuff will be well tired by now if it's not been changed

 

Forgot about brakes, had 4-pots fitted and new discs

 

forget all that

Booze and hookers


oops just realised it was the technical forum :


Ill get my coat

 

new suspension then if brakes ok, then go for a de-cat if ya can and induction and remap and new turbo and bigger injectors and walbro fuel pump and uprated fuel pressure regulator and............................................... ......... oh bu**er it's never ending but oh what fun!

 

Get the exhaust parts second-hand and get a remap. Totally transforms your car.

 

yep, decat downpipe (uppipe if you can ) centre section and remap. You will probably need an apexi though on a '97,so looking at around £700 for one of those mapped. These mods will deffo transform your car.

 

Full decat, K&N I/K and electronic boost controller running 1.2 bar will see you 280 bhp no sweat, forget the remap with those mods you wont need it

 

Roger Clarke Motorsport lightweight puleys and flywheel plus de-cat!1!

 

i'VE MY COAT ON LAST HALF HOUR FECKING FREEZING WAITING ON YOU GUYS?????????????/

 

solid droplinks all round, whiteline adj rear ARB, second hand de-cat and off to Andy Forrest for an Apexi- you should *just* do it on your budget, or not go too far over, and it will change the car dramatically.

you should also get the geometry done (not expensive but very worthwhile) and fit some braided hoses.

 

Save up about £500 more:

Apexi/AndyF after decat and a good panel filter
Whiteline bars
Powerstation alignment
Decent brake pads
Good tyres

And end up looking like.............................................. .....this.......

Graham.

 

decat downpipe and centre 2nd hand on here, maybe £150 all in?
2nd hand td05 £200
Group bought Tek3 remap £580
you also really need an uprated fuel pump (255L/Hr) £90
2nd hand FSE kit £50
total = 1070, you need an extra £70.

 

i think you are being a little optimistic with those prices !!!!

 

Agreed. PowerFC & remap from somebody like AndyF. Under £1k easy
Plenty horsepower!

 

Not sure you can TEK a 97 peanuts?

 

spend it on my vf34 hybrid and 2.5" milltek system (inc sports cat) and maybe a few quid left towards a remap!!!!!!!!

 

Buy my IHI VF28 Turbo & 440cc Injectors for £350 all in... you've still got £650. Used PFC for under £400... Andy F remap for £250... sorted...

 

sorry, tek3 on a 97 is a no-no, ebay special powerfc and map, SteveBT, prices not too optimistic I reckon
