Hi All
I had high hope for my car, so with the following mods i went to Power engineering to find out how much power i was putting out:
Dbilas air intake scoop
Vx panel filter
De-restricted airbox
58mm ported throttle body
Dbilas inlet manifold
Regal 4-1 exhaust manifold <------Rare as rocking horse s#it, apparently!
Pre-cat removed
2.5" downpipe
2.5" Hoffman 200 cell sports cat
Milltek resonated catback system
Courtenay Lightened crank pulley
What do you think? 160 maybe 170 bhp, the dbilas inlet was ment to do 25bhp on its own (according to the manufacturers)
How wrong i was.......
145.5 bhp
146 ft/lb torque
Then engine was examined and compression was low in cylinders 1&4 and it needed immediate surgery!
Along with some suitable upgrades
Re-worked head with piper cams
Lightened courtney flywheel
New water pump
Somethings should'nt be there in the 1st place
After a long recovery it was time to go to superchips for final analysis
185 Bhp @6694 Rpm
It was then remapped and the rev limit raised to 7500rpm
The result
200 Bhp @ 7102 Rpm or 55 Bhp over my inital graph
Final spec list:
Dbilas inlet scoop
De-resticted airbox
Vx panel filter
58mm vx throttle body
Dbilas inlet manifold
std VX injectors
CS lightened crank pulley
CS uprated clutch
CS lightened flywheel
Balance shafts removed
Piper regound cams
Ported cylinder head
Piper exhasut manifold
2.5" downpipe with 200 cell sports cat
Milltek resonated exhaust
superchips remap, rev limit raised to 7500 rpm
