Well, there she is and she aint cheep! I'll be going from a dyno of 123hp to 221HP at 6.5psi Thats not bad for 3 grand!

Heres a pic of how it will look once its done,


Now all I need to do is find a cheep mechanic to instal it for me So what do you all think? Good idea?

[Howard]

No.

Get a little more driving experience first..

[Moby-Dick]

why not put a decent engine in to start with ?


123 brake from two and half litres is medieval in terms of efficiency.

most turbocharged engines will hit 100bhp per litre without many issues - quite a few NA ones can do the same

what upgrading th rest of th car to handle double the power ?
how long do you think your clutch will last ?
or brakes
or grearbox or suspension ?

its not just as easy as strapping a big turbo on and pressing the red button m'afriad

£3k just for parts seems a lot - fitting it and getting it set up correctly is not going to be a cheap job imo.

hearing about the way you drive i think you should be limited to something like a 1.0L nissan micra.. Just because you have loads of money to throw around doesnt mean you should be...

I find the car to be slow to start, but once in 3rd gear it screams at 135 mph My problem is I drive sporty like... I wish the car would pickup faster and sound meaner (for the ladies) I have been complimented many times already about this car and I wish to improve on it... I was going to buy an intake but it seemed a waste of money... The igsaughst (never past 3rd grade spelling) is still fine so I'm not going to replace that just for sound quality... So theres nothing left to do at the moment.

Exhaust. As in, we're exhausted at your pitiful attempts at spelling and lack of courtesy to bother even looking words up.

I do hope that you do something to the suspension, considering that it is a Front wheel drive car, it may be interesting under full acceleration.

And will the standard auto transmission be able to handle the power?

I know that America doesn't have any corners, but surely you need to consider doings something to the brakes too.

THoes things cant stop me so as it is! My roters have a grove in them! I was told by the garage that they are still fine... they are solid metal in the rear and the fronts have vents in the midel... My pads are suposidly new Never the less the car is hard to stop... But then again what should I expect from a 3,000 pound car And recomendationd on type of breaks/roters? (sloted or driled)

[Howard]

Brakes / rotors*
As said, chances are that standard auto tranny won't like an almost double in power output. Poor torque converter

An exhaust system and air filter will make it sound "meaner for the ladies" and you won't crash trying to impress them.

Wanna make it really fast? Learn how cars work, learn to drive in a more mature manner than currently, then upgrade it

actully - get some Nitrous Oxide - its cheaper and will make a bigger fireball when you crash - you have much less chance of surviving it and thus diluting the genepool any further.

Well I was trying to be as nice as possible...

[Moby-Dick]

some times you have to be cruel to be kind.

or blunt go get through someons thick skull that they are a danger to themselves on the roads.

let hope he only kills himself and no innocent bystanders.

[5lab]

i'm sorry, but i dont quite see the problem with this.. putting 200ish bhp into a family-sized car wont make it all *that* quick (it'll be fast, but not uber fast), so why would he nessesarily crash? or am i missing something?

[Moby-Dick]

you didnt see his previous car ( or what was left of it )

seeing as his favourite past time seems to be more than doubling the local speed limits.....

yea.. That was a FAST car! Too bad it was soo light that the damn thing rolled... Theres no chance I can roll this huge heavy avenger! And to be honist I dont drive like a maniac I just dont like to wait to reach the speed limit... I only open it up on the highway... say 70 mph is my normal cruse speed

I think if you go down any embankment or try and do a very sharp turn at high speeds most cars will topple. Did you see what happened to the McClaren at Le Mans a few years back?

myth. Stop it now. Please. Nobody is impressed.
