What are your thoughts? Ebay 261512767788
-
wouldnt buy purely on the fact the pics are all upside down!
-
Skimmed head and remap dont make 45bhp....
Without RR graph to back it up he is talking rubbish, based on this mine must be a 170bhp sleeper :laugh:
You will need ported and flowed head (x flow is best) and intake/exhaust, cam, vernier, remap/stand alone ecu, decked block, balanced crank plus a whole load of other sh!t to get near that without forced induction.
It can be done no doubt, but you would not sell it for that price if you had done all that or if you had the receipts to prove it.
Some guy on here did hot 8v a few years back...

And that, lol
-
Yeah thats what I thought :grin:
-
Nope
-
Not a chance that has got 160bhp, we should all email him :grin:
-
Maybe its a typo 116bhp
-
An 8v? As much as that? No way!
106bhp more like! lol
-
Just chancing their luck, common on ebay. But without proof, hopefully nobody will buy into it. I'm sure they will be getting bombarded with emails from valver owners.

Already have lol. When asked him for proof of the apparent bhp, no reply! What a surprise :grin:
-
Mind you some Rolling Roads run high!
My car has been on one that gave it 173.6bhp!
But actually it was 154bhp!
-
Blimey that is a difference!
-
So when I do my head gasket how much hp will I get? :grin:

Agreed.
160+ BHP is entirely possible given the right list of parts. But a skimmed head and re-map don't give that.
130BHP maybe.

A lot more if you open out those throats and ports! :grin:

I'd love to but too much hassle. A de-coked head makes enough difference to keep me happy :smiley:
