What options are there, how much bhp has anyone got out of one max and how did they do it?
Ta muchly Michelle |
How about turbo charging it ;):D;):D;):D;)
(sorry) Jon |
This is a serious question, a friend of mine has a sport and wonders what is possible to get more power out of it
As I said ANY advice would be better thqn none Cheers Michelle |
not worth the expense
|
With the sport, power is not going to be the main concern.
I would concentrate on the suspension and brakes.... a well sorted sport with decent handling and brakes will give a turbo a very good run for its money on the twisty bits. P |
Im with POC, we saw a Sport with only a scoobysport exhaust and downpipe keep up with Turbos on the first tour d'ecosse ! with better brakes and suspension it would still be a lot of fun ! may not have the acceleration but once rolling :D

What gains can be expected from a SS backbox and induction kit ? [Edited by DJ Dunk - 12/19/2001 3:07:44 PM] |
I have run a completely standard power Sport for 2 1/2 years now, i havent ever had problems keeping up with Turbo's. I can quite easily leave most when it's wet.
Best mods for the Sport are decent tyres (on turbo 16" wheels) and learning to drive properly. You'll get a slight increase in power and torque with an exhaust and filter (10BHP region). I have never bothered because i cant be bothered with the hasle with insurance, aint worth it for the gains in performance. I took my Sport for a run round the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago, 4 up i passed an ex works Renault Alpine Rally car. This is on standard brakes/pads/engine and suspension. Spend your money on tyres and limit handling driver training. |
Thanks John
