Potential Power!

[welsh_roadrally]

After listening to more than my fair share of outrageous power claims over the years how about a 'MY POTENTIAL POWER' list based on the "can give up to ???bhp claims of your modifications(no rolling road proof just take all the Maximum potential gains and add these to the power your vehicle is rated at when new:

I'll start it off with my Civic 1.8 VTi 169bhp,stainless 4 branch manifold +18bhp,Universal free flow back box +15bhp,de-cat +15bhp,induction Kit +15bhp,Apexi VTEC controller +20bhp
So in theory i've gained (lol )83bhp for under ?400:eek: and increased the cars power by a third!,shame it feels f*ck all fasterlol
I might get it on a rolling road soon and see what gains i've made if any:cry:

So List your mods and your POTENTIAL POWERlol
Mine is 252bhp!

[Stuart]

not personal mods, but grp n chips and a power cap give 20-25 bhp lmao

[Philsutton]

Right here is mine:

Bigger injectors + 20bhp
Cams + 25bhp
Chip + 100bhp
Bigger turbo + 50bhp
Nitrous + 200bhp
Induction kit + 15bhp
Big boy monster size exhaust + 20bhp
Equal length manifold + 20bhp
Manual boost controller + 20bhp
LC pistons + 24bhp
Super mega boost conrods + 30bhp


About 520bhp wahoo, actually not that far from what im aiming for. Still i made those figures up as havent a clue what they are claimed to do

[Philsutton]

Also do i have to add the fact that my car has stickers and F&T rev counter ? reckon that would boost it to 4 figures lol

Chrome stickers are proven to give the highest power gains,also when used with illuminated washer jets aerodynamics are improved by 0.02cd improving the top end speedlol
As for the rev counter the bigger it is the higher the engine will rev,if you doubt this just ask someone that stacks shelves in your local kwiksave:thumb:

[Philsutton]

the rev counter is only small but it goes all the way round to 45'000 so thats as far as i can rev the engine before it hits the limiter

[welsh_roadrally]

Maybe lotus Carlton clocks are the ultimate power mod for Nova's?,what does the speedo go up to on those???,i know a lad with a 1.6 LX mk5 Escort and he says it must do 150mph because why else would they put 150mph clocks in it:tard: lol

[mowgli]

All of the above figures are PHP or pub horsepower figures.

Yes pub talk is more accurate than any dyno don't you knowlol
if i had a quid for everytime ive been told of massive gains from fitting a K&N i'd have a 1.4 16v Bowyer Race engine with Throttle boddies on order for my SRlol

[Stuart]

for 16v engines JRE is the man, 8v mr bowyer ;)



My cousin is into his jap motors and bangs on about him and his mates with silly spec supras/liners etc yet they cant seem to go that fast to prove the power they are claimed to have .... i then explain (being an automotive eningeer) whats wrong etc and apparently im worng.... sod em i just laugh in my head everytime he speaks. and also put him to shame with my 147bhp plastic car.

[Jack]

[welsh_roadrally]

lol lol

[womble sri]

my mum bought me a FLASHING LED GEAR STICK for crimbo as a bit of a joke i have just put it on for the crack so surely that should add some power + its chrome! i used to have one of those 20 bhp + blue shiny cold air feeds on my first sri. hah
when i tuned up my sr it put out quite a lot on the rollers and the tuner was quite impressed so he asked if he could put his stickers inside so that "people knew why it was going past them on the track" i tested it before he put them in and after it was much quicker. id look out for some there pretty rare gotta be the best power adding stickers second only to the original max pooer stickers.

[Philsutton]

omg i forgot the gear knob i have on the corsa lmfao, its purely there because it has a button on ( makes things alot easier for using the nitrous) it came with stickers on top for Nitrous, neons, 5 speed, 6 speed, or my favourite eject lol
