Engine differences
« on: 28 March 2011, 16:51 »
I want to know the differences in engines..

Now i cant afford a 130 or 150 bhp model so what would i need to do to a 115 bhp to make it the same as the 150bhp engine.

Obviosily a remap is a good start but what can i do after that. Id be aiming for 200 horses.

Cheers Kus

Turbo
Intercooler
Injectors?
Not sure if you need a new ECU and MAF too  :undecided:

In all honesty, what you'd spend tuning and insuring the 115bhp you just as well buy the 150 model as all you'd need is a remap to push it past 190bhp

Agreed but like I said when you factor in costs of bits and insurance its nigh on the same  :sad:

By the time you have spent that much you would be better to buy a 150

And youd still have to insure it as a 150.....

Basically just buy a 150 to save hassle as either way its going to cost the same!
