as monty burns would say "exxxxxxxxxxcelllllennttttt"

 

hmmm I have a 1.2.... opportunities..

 

mmmm wonder how much that would set me back??? :look:

 

Think the turbo kits about £3.5k, but theres other bits and bobs on there too...

 

thats sweet as ****

good post mate

 

i bet a sri would get a shock if up against him

 

What was the cost?
Could buy a C20LET for £1000 and have 204 bhp as standard.

 

Think of the difference in weight and balance for handling tho.

 

posting in a long thread by the way

 

on another note, in this months total vauxhall they have fitted the £800 dilbas inlet to there 1.4 corsa c pics in there with a remap as well worth a look

 

torque figures aint that good tho.

how much is the kit and how reliable is it gonna be?

 

Something seriously wrong with that graph, unless I'm reading it wrong.
Red - bhp engine, Green - bhp at wheels?
Can someone confirm this please?

 

there seems 2 be an emergency light on too

 

Looks like handbrake and ABS from here

 

If you take the WHP and add a realistic 15% for transmission losses on a fwd, you get circa 105/110 bhp at the flywheel.

 

more like 20% plus, plus you get greater transmission loss at higher speeds and on different road surfaces and cornering etc so its not an exact science. but engine power is really un-important, its whp that counts.

 

Nah, 20% for rwd maybe, but not fwd mate.
Like you say though whp, corrected is just guessing at it.
So 92 or so bhp at the fly?
Bit crap.

 

no way is that 158bhp, just from a "bolt on turbo" as it only uses a low pressure turbo anyways.

 

as has been said on corsasport it is total crap!

there is no way your gona double the power of the car just by adding a bolt on turbo!

Stange that my car is putting out 255.8bhp with the same conversion for the 1.8.

It must be so much crap that mine has been verified on 2 totally independant dyno's!!

 

but its not just a turbo is it, its inlet manifold, exhaust (and probs decat), Remap and raised limiter.

 

Which means absolutely fcuk all mate. Needs suitable pistons and cam etc for suitable power.

 

yeah i know it isnt going to be able to run much boost as compression is far to high (11.5) i think it runs at about 6 psi.

there was someone on here who with the inlet and decat exhaust manifold was puching about 120 out of a 1.2 so i think this is feasable. also, i could have cams changed for all we know.

120 bhp? What's the point? Poor bhp - £ ratio that.
That's 100bhp per litre, same as my 10 year old non turbo standard engine....

 

and u really think u can just double the power of ur car that easily!

u need top really look into it! at max i would say it would be around 130bhp

 

i know, wasn't me spending my money on it, what he wanted and each to their own.

 

Regal get a lot of stick from people with knowledge.
Years ago they sorted a calibra turbo out for me, and 3 years later running high boost all that time it's still faultless.
But....How they can put their name on a graph like that is just extraordinary.
Anyone can see it is total ******** with a hugely over-inflated loss amount.

 

Best get the RR graphs up then.

 

I'll try and scan them in later, but there were about another 10 members who saw it hit that power out our south east RR day!

Btw, thats with standard internals!

 

What's been done with the compression then?

 

Everything inside the engine is standard! The it is totally reversible aswell and the power outputs are guaranteed by dibilas.
They also gurantee all the standard components for failure aswell!
Ive got low comp pistons, steel rods, LSD and paddle clutch going into mine in the new year as I want to turn the boost up and get more power.

 

So that's on stock compression?
Doesn't sound too clever to me tbh mate.
