My car will be having a few bits and pieces and will jump from 214bhp (totally standard) to 330bhp-all in one day.

Will it be a HUGE difference in performance or more of a subtle one?

 

+ 50% more power, if you don't notice that then you have a problem.

Be careful in the wet 300 bhp+ will see plenty of wheelspin action.

 

prepare for a do it yourself face lift lol

will feel like you've been given the wrong car

 

Cool, whats it having done???

 

This will be an absolutely serious difference. My 99 Uk Classic is approx 325bhp, and I have recently driven a stock 00 UK car, and the difference is night and day. You will be very impressed!

Be prepared to have a huge grin on your face for a couple of weeks, and then to start planning more mods

 

I dont even know the name for the bits...up pipe??? new manifolds, fuel pump, induction something or other and a re-map. He told me it will have 330 bhp but said they will put it on a rolling road before and after...so we will see. I have told him that I want a discount for every BHP under 330.

 

Scooby Clinic ?

 

I would have thought a new turbo and an optimistic rolling road as well in order to realise those figures.

 

You'll have a big big grin on your face that's for sure...

I did a more gentle upgrade process...couple of steps to 300, then 350, then 420, 450, 480 and more...all very fun and always want more!

 

I went from 290bhp to 325bhp, I noticed a big change I was grinning so much for weeks,

 

go on tell me the fast and cheapest way of uping it?

 

to get to that from 214bhp (my99-00 uk turbo) to roughly 330-350bhp

decat, vf35/td05/vf34 turbo, pannel filter, fuel pump, remap

personaly i'd go with stand alone ecu (i've got autronics), an uprated oil cooler to keep oil temps sensible and a front mount (air system replaced witha induction kit as well cos of pipework), but there just personal preferance.

To clarify y,

the uprated turbo can casue that year of classics to eat maf sensors, as often as every two weeks, so an aftermarket ecu will replace the maf with a map sensor.

the oil temps will be a major issue on a classic running that sort of power, oil cooler will sort them out.

front mount will sort out hot days when heat on top mount cooler for the turbo can drain lots of power (up to 50bhp)

combined with the turbo and ecu you wont get any issues with compatability which are often mistaken for lag on the front mount.

 

Is this for real ?

 

hi mate we will probably both have the same big grin just had a full rebuild uprated fuel pump oil pump ported headers sti turbo full decat /rear box lightened fly wheel and remaped with simtec when is run in this remap gets rid of the maf oh and had the manifolds and decat wraped to keep out the heat but got to do 1500 miles run in only on 345 miles hoping for about 340hp
