i know the guy the that owns the car its a fast car and he does push it very hard i raced him in my new coupe running 1.3 bar and beat him and i was running standard internal and i thought mine would last but one 4th gear run ended my engine i crack a ringland on the piston last week it was the 2nd 4th gear run that i pushed the car so its down to luck really now i have another broken car just makes me think what kind of power was i running if he had 420bhp obviously too much

my old car...

cant believe this made that much power.

Anyone know if this is still kicking about

Hi Goose, not seen you on here in a while! I have to say done a few standard engines with power that would raise the eyebrow, but yes when done right it's a pretty solid engine!

yeah been a while mate. still got yours?

mainly into drifting these days so still messing with my M3.

toying with the idea of changing my civic type r for a coupe though.

yeah that kind of power on any 2.0L turbo engine is really good.

I remember reading about this car a few years back and I think I saw it around Basildon quite a lot. Very quick but a bit of a dog to look at and I'm sure it must be dead by now. I also don't think it could have been 400bhp but I could be wrong.

When it use to be about around Basildon a guy call Paul owned the car it was running 380bhp on a gt28rs 86 when my mate got the car he put a gt2871r 86 with 440 injectors and a map done by flea it was running 1.3 bar then he up the boost to 1.5 which he was running about 420 bhp

And what happened to it.....still around? Crashed? Sold?

Engine blew up.

It spun a big end on number 1 when I stripped it down you could have got away with a little light rub with wet and dry and a new shell replaced but he broke it up for parts which he regret doing it and now I have all the parts in my ink plus

Where abouts are you lenzo? I've seen 2 coupes in south East London but don't know if there on here

I'm by canning town matey

Manual Boost Controller
hello guys, need advice, I want to install a manual boost controller to my 16 VT coupe, wich is complety stock,(only k&n cone air filter, a freeflow exhaust witout catalitic) but really don´t know how many bars should I set the boost in order to gain about 50 hps, without compromising the engine´s life. I´ve heard that i have to enriched the mixture and work with the pressure regulator, any comment? I´m from, Honduras central america.

You will need a modified chip for the ECU to allow optimal performance and increased boost pressure. Send me a PM for details on our Stage 1 and I'll advise further.
