The extra weight of a turbo (turbo, intercooler, pipework etc) is all carried out the front of the engine, which is obviously as detrimental to handling as it could be!

Big power LETS will be on F28's as well. That doesn't help matters. I think youll be surprised at the difference if you add all the extra bits up.
simps, olly changed his windows from 3mm to 2mm to save some extra weight. do you really think he wants a big old turbo hanging off the front?. as for how much power no one knowsQuote:

Well over 260hp, much nearer to 280hp imo
Ho will it be miles heavier? the turbo doesn't weigh that much more than a std manifold surely?
Combined with a F28 its WAY heavier
Shaun Larnder's mustard SR is running P2 and a hybrid putting out 290bhp. Its also got diff and sccr quaife and thats really quick with the box.
Personally I dont rate a sccr on a let, a KKK is well out of puff after 5500rpm so if Olz bolted one to his he'd spend his life out of the powerband, feeling fast and being fast are 2 different things
Having never driven a car with NOS does it really balance the power difference between high power TBs vs Turbo?
Look at Gaz'd Corsa for a example, clearly gets up and fooks off, with a touch over 300hp its nearly as quick as a Tigra with 505hp as it has useable power, if you use a controller you can have it deliver the nitrous as smoothly or as aggressive as you like
What are the other cars in the fwd class running? na or turbo?
NA and Turbo, Fiat in question was 400hp Turbo
I guarantee with the power Olz has he could beat that with a more tracktime
And before anyone says it - lol
This time next year I will be 15kg lighter in person too
Now thats a mammoth poo! Make sure you take a pic!Quote:
