[Stuart]

why bother then......

just sounds like "your mate" is on the blag with you re the spec/what it does etc. but meh im not getting into another RR accuracy argument

[Stoo]

Ditto!

[Timmy]

SBD can run 244 out an XE.come on !!!

[craig green]

lad few miles from me stil has removed the sfi box and put the later ecoteck induction pipe on and he is running 185bhp on rr.

Still essentially a std size butterfly in the std inlet manifold which gets pretty hot.

Timmy; SBD can get 250+ bhp from the 1600 16v.

Timmy; SBD can get 250+ bhp from the 1600 16v.

On a NASA budget!!

[Timmy]

oh yeah thats right, i'll find out what to top figer for the XE is LOL. but BT has a po
int about the cost.

oh dear, if its set up by a chimp then your engine will scatter itself over a larger radius, if done right its not going to damage your engine. It wont blow the welds on your intake and cause your floor to fall out at 300mph

beat me to the floor falling out bit, Can just imagine the bottom dropping out of a Nova halfway up Pod and purple/green/red flames coming out the back from the NOS!

[Stoo]

SBD and the like have had 300 BHP out of an XE when the old Cav Touring cars had XEs!!

Had to turn the head around though so the inlet side was on the front of the engine!!!

[Stuart]

Swindon did that. and the benefit was the exuahst route as opposed to the "ram air" effect that really didnt do much until 80-90mph.
