What would be an estimated preformance figure on that?

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

i would hope 150bhp on standard ecu, then about 170bhp with aftermarket managment and trumpets

Id doubt you'll see anymore than 130ish bhp on standard management, with the standard rev limit. Need 7500-8000 revs to see decent power.

Also, would a "better" set of cams not be worthwhile?

what are you talking about, theres people on here that have fitted dbilas tb's to a near standard x16xe and come out with figures of around 130-135bhp. they better be pretty good anyway cus i have a set at home waiting to go on my 1.6 too lol.

I agree with Vaux Lad. Rob lees was topping out at around 7k revs before it had even peaked, made 130bhp with the Steinmetz TBs, was more left in it though just needed to rev a bit more. Can you not unlock these ECUs and use an aftermarket rev limiter?

Also - genuine question. For what reason do you want uprated conrod bolts?

I think warren mentioned them been a weak point in the engine

Erm i talk the truth mate

You cant expect to whack a set of tb's on, with standard management and see a HUGE gain

By nature for NA engines to make decent power you need to rev the tits off them, the standard 6750rpm limit WILL stop you making decent power.
More agressive cams move the power band up the revs, making things even worse on standard limit/management

Also dont forget you can get around 125/130hp with the standard inlet system, and a mantzel etc.
With the tb's on you'll find that power is still rising when you hit the standard limiter, keeping the power increase to just 15/20bhp, compared to 30/40hp on proper management and a 8k limit.

Uprated rod bolts are needed to stop the big end cap leaving the piston at high revs, higher revs=more stress on the rod bolts. Hence ARP's being needed to hold things together once you get over about 7200rpm.

when you rev to say 7500 and above the standard conrod bolts are a like gavin said, a weak point in the engine and the con rods can end up flying out of your engine. with the dbilas tb's you can get the dbilas chipped ecu with it with a raised rev limit to 7500.

Dont get me wrong, you will see a nice gain.
Just the standard limit restricts you.

You could get a chipped ecu with a raised limit, but thats getting towards the cost of a proper mappable ecu, that you can change in future if you take the mods further.

heres a quick question for you vaux lad since you're here (slight thread high jack sorry) what bhp do you think i could be looking at with a stage 2 ported head, janspeed 4-2-1 mani, de-cat, backbox, drilled airbox,dbilas tb's with dbilas chipped ecu with 7500 rev limit. thats all the stuff ive got waiting to go on my car atm.

Probably towards 140-150, restricted by having to run a common plenum box for the Afm to connect to, assuming its a c16xe.
You might consider getting arp rod bolts too.

na its a x16xe, yea i will get some arp bolts in the near future when im less skint.

You will have to pipe the Map sensor into the tb's then too.

what is said is very true, as i was disapointed with my rr results, as people with less mods were getting same power, but then i realised with the manifold/decat this moves the power up even higher, so the only reason the car isn't producing the exepted 120bhp is do to that fooking rev limiter, which if it was set at 7500rpm i could see 125+bhp i would think (with some mild cams too).

as for the 1.6, with cams and throttle bodies, the power would be even higher up the rev range, so i will probley have to get a superchip (yes another one

) to raise the rev limt untill after market managment is bought!

and only getting 260 degree cams because first, im getting reprofiles done, and second the power will be high enough up the rev range as it is, so wilder cams would push it up even more!!!

Whats your power curve like Warren? Did it peak?

nope, was still rasing hard on the rev limiter

before powerbox

once fitted

as you can see the torque curve holds along for alot longer, and dosent drop off, which is why the car feels alot more powerful, even if the bhp didnt increase that much

but torque x RPM = horse power (not the actual formula! ) so should more made more power im sure

torque is actualy less, but is over alot wider band

Looking the the graph, it definently needs a re-map. The RR calibration looks spot on too, the lines cross at 5252

The torque line is better than my standard inlet 16xe printout, mine peaks higher(with it being 1598cc), but yours stays high throughout the revs.

well tbh needs a remap and rasied rev limit - but it aint gonna happen!

do you think a enclosed performance air filter would improve things?
