If my car was putting out the standard 250ps, what would it do 0-60, 0-100 and the 1/4 mile in if i hooked it up properly?

and if its running the 275ps that the V2 engine should produce thats fitted to it, would the figures be massively different?

thanks, cant you tell i know very little about scooby's! LOL

Performance calculator will give you a rough idea.

Enjoy!

 

The V2 runs 275ps because of the ecu so it may be worth checking to see what ecu you have (passenger footwell underneath a kickplate).

0-60 5.5-6.0 secs perhaps

 

hmmm.. under 5 secs to 60 i reckons, and 13 odd to 100.

what will my red top engine take power wise before it needs opening up?

 

under 5 secs ,imo, is optimistic engine can take 300bhp (but the intercooler may need upgrading and definately the fuelling)

 

So the bottom end would need pulling apart for over 300bhp?

 

Some people have manged over 320bhp (mickywrx iirc) but he is pushing the limit (especially on standard 380cc injectors)
I would get the engine rebuilt for over over 300bhp just so you would know that it's been done and it has been specced for what you want.
I would err on the side of over engineering the engine.

(David@ Welcome to the API website is a good fellow to talk to about engine/gearbox rebuilds)

 

In that case, i wont bother going over 300bhp. i arent wanting to spend on an engine build tbh. i dont have the funds really.

 

a nice 280bhp should see you fine and it's relatively cheap to get but like i said see what ecu you're running

 

Will I be able to tell what ECU by looking?

 

yep the ecus are normally a single letter and single number (few examples are 2c,w6,u8,z4,z5)
Post up what it says and then somebody can tell you what ecu it is

 

outstanding..

will do thanks

 

I wouldn't advise following my example.
