220 Bhp Without Front Mount?

[loveturbopower]

Guys, im looking to get my car running around 220 bhp but dont want to have to spend £600 plus on a front mount aswell. Im getting a revo chip stage 1 which will take me to approx 206 bhp, then with an induction kit probably around 208-210. How cud i get the extra 10bhp i need, would a full exhaust system including turbo downpipe get me the extra 10 bhp or close?

cheers

Don't quite add up to how you have put it. You will not get a true 206bhp without a FMIC in the first place in my eyes.
Revo, turbo back exhaust filter, TIP and FMIC will prob get you around 210ish. Without FMIC you'll just heatsoak,and in turn ECU will retard timing.
If you don't want to spend £600 on FMIC try laguna core for £250ish. If not I would just get remapped and leave it at that. As that is where you are going to see a noticable increase

well get a launga front mounted intercooler if you are hard up. with pipework made up your talking £200. and then remap and you looking at about 200approx. dont count on remap giving you 206bhp could end up being 190 or something.
filter wont really make much difference bhp wise, full exhaust system will help.
with all of the its a guessing game on what the outcome can be. but will be a very strong car and pull well.

oh rite, its just on the revo website they say that ayp engine 156bhp standard should expect to see results around 206 after stage 1 remap, so am i miss-understanding and it means after all stage 1 tuning like exhaust, filter and remap that it would be around 206?

also where can i pick up a laguna front mount and what model laguna would it be from? just a 2.0 turbo diesel or sumit?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

I have seen it many times, it's usually the missing FMIC that causes cars not to reach the 200's. No so much those other smaller mods you mention.

You'll struggle to go much over 200 without a fmic, and if you do the power will come down as quickly as it goes up.

 

[loveturbopower]

oh rite, hmmm, ok so if i could get a laguna front mount, revo stage 1, decent air intake and full exhaust system would i see more than 210bhp?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

does it matter if it's 205bhp or 210bhp? Dyno error could give you figures like that. As long as it feels quick to you ...

 

[loveturbopower]

tbh as long as it feels quicker, figures dont really matter to me but i just wanted it to be over the 200bhp mark, its just my mates have a skyline with 350bhp and my other mate has mr2 turbo with 260bhp and it would be nice to have over 200bhp lol also someone else i know has a cammed and chipped saxo vtr running 135bhp and mine struggles to lose it lol

 

[Daz_gibbo]

A mate with a cammed and chipped 106Gti can't keep up with me. Im sure you will see off 135bhp

 

[loveturbopower]

yeah on acceleration we are nearly equal but then he pulls ahead in 3rd untill i hit high revs then i get ahead, tbh i want to be able to rip him without a struggle so i think 200bhp + should do that

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Remap will do that alone no problem.

 

[loveturbopower]

did u buy yours already remapped? if not where did u get urs done as newports only like hour from me?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

No bought mine completely standard. Westec in newport did most of my work, remap, ko3s, Downpipe exhaust TIP. I fitted the forge FMIC though. lol

 

[loveturbopower]

are they good then? how much was the revo there?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Forge are customising me a FMIC for £260 all in so thats alot cheaper than there ready made ones. Thats an option to consider

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Revo is the same cost wherever you go. I had it done nearly 3 years ago it was £500 it's much cheaper now i think.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

i had revo stage one and had it rr'd and it only made 177 232lbs ft a fmic is a must if you want to even break the 200 barrier

 

[loveturbopower]

on ebay they sell loads of universal front mount intercoolers for around £100, would they be any good would just have to get the piping made to fit

 

[SEATCOOBER]

i dont think any logs have been done on these fmic
