what kind of bhp/torque should i be looking at?

I've got a 1.4 sport with full s/s scorpion exhaust, janspeed manifold, lexmaul inlet and pvd bfo cone. im not expecting to much, just a rough idea.




thanks

105-108bhp i'd say

mine made 116bhp with the same spec but it had a remap which meant it actually revved past the flatspot

operator said it was down to the remap that mine made so much power, and was expecting about 105 without it

yep, well, maybe

the ecu i had was mapped for brosters old spec, so it was mapped for a 1.6 with all those bits and headwork, so you might only get 112 or so, and like ive said before, a 1.6 bottom end is much better than any more bolt on mods

was that a dig?



my engine died because there was no coolant in it, not because of the chip

to be honest the best thing for you to do would be just to buy an SBD TP164 kit, just bolts on for 150 odd bhp, still reliable, good value etc
