Post by: vwfiend on 15 July 2010, 18:37: I have 214bhp and 239lbs torque. I spent a grand on the car bog standard

£160 on Ko3s
£95 on TIP
£500 on Forge FMIC
£210 on Simota Aeroform filter
£120 on 3'' DP and 200 cell sports cat
£85 on 007p DV
£225 on remap

All I need is a further £340 for Milltek discrete cat back and then it will be <235 bhp and 260lbs torque and £60 for the touch up Rtech map so around £1400 so far and itll be £1800 at the end. Well worth it though as there arent many cars you can get tuned by that percentage for the same money and fuel econemy! :grin:

Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: vwfiend on 15 July 2010, 19:00: Yeah but for the money for 280bhp it then becomes false economy............ :undecided:
Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: smitty12 on 15 July 2010, 19:01: 8 years ago my car had 115bhp,

Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: munks on 15 July 2010, 19:06: wen i was on the celica forum i spoke to people who spent nearly 10k on their cars nd still only pushing 330bhp ish

Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: vwfiend on 15 July 2010, 19:15: They must be absolutely mental!!!!!! The only half decent Celica is a GT4 and they were only good 10 years ago! Spend 10 grand on your golf and it could be a Nova turbo raper!
Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: smitty12 on 15 July 2010, 20:26: Now thats a question! What the hell would you spend 10K on!?

Post by: Hulmie on 16 July 2010, 10:28: good place to check for power, mods etc is in the mk4 build section

Im currently running 231bhp & 256lb/ft torque

mods

K03s turbo
Forge Actuator with Red Spring
Forge TIP

Pipercross Panel Filter (Non smoothed Airbox)
3" Downpipe & De-Cat

SMIC FTW :grin: (even if mine is a Forge)
Title: Re: How much power have you got?
Post by: Hulmie on 16 July 2010, 15:40: It just goes to show similar power around the 230bhp mark can be obtained without getting a FMIC or Uprated SMIC.

Not sure what the limits would be, would say maybe around 240bhp but then air temps would be nearing danger point id say.

Don't lie, every experienced 'chooner' knows turbo whistlers are rated to at least 1050bhp before you blow it out and shoot the neighbors cat..
