I need 25 bhp extra (ABF)

[blueandy]

I was at a trackday yesterday and the valver was full of awesomeness through the corners, hard on the power earlier than a lot of the other meant that I had great entry and exit speeds but was short of legs on the straights,
The upshot was that I was in great positions to catch other cars coming out the corners but then they would pull away on the straights, but not massively, I just need 20 or 25 extra horsepower from the abf.

I stripped out the rear seats, rear bench, spare wheel, tools and I know that there is more to come which increases the PTW ratio.
I have a K&N 57i and will shield it and get fresh air in but what next?

Manifold? cheapo Taiwan job that fits properly?.
Decat? MOT issue?
Plastic bonnet? where from?

the only downer in it all is that this is not a wallet mod car, definitely needs to be low end costs.


I have a deadline of October when I'm at Castle Combe.

Manifold and decat will gain you little if nothing as the standard set up is not that bad.

Might be worth getting rid of the trim you don't need then maybe a remap.

To get power out of a ABF is not cheap or easy.

mill the massive lips out in the throttle body that restrict air flow.
run a cold feed into the airbox and remove all the crap inside. there's a how to on here somewhere.
fast road cams if you can fit em yourself?

Works a treat on 8V/16V, loads of enlargement possible before you get into custom butterfly territory.
Look at IM as well, mine is 3mm bigger now

Stick a 20v turbo in it like I've just bought

Every Mk3 should have one

Not sure i'd stand that close to the pulleys in baggy shorts.

Does that really give much more bhp?
