spotted this on flebay clickerty click click i want his front mount intercooler! must be massive 100bhp loss thhough the transmition too!

You're just jealous you don't know how to tune it like that!

See, I told you the red paint added horsepower but you didn't believe me!

Excellent news

WHy no photos of the engine bay?

Ah yes I've seen this vehicle at PF on a few occasions..

2 main issues....

1. Says he has printouts of his power, but didnt think it would be a good idea to show them on the ebay ad?

2. No mention of a change of turbo, so 429bhp from the stnd turbo. Amazing...

£2k is only the opening bid, that sounds right to me if the work and s/h is right. Cleary, there's some issues with what the r/road told him - we've seen that before haven't we?

Intresting to know what his reserve is and what PF think of it...

You'd need to be a retard to believe that u had got 200bhp from spending pratically nuthing.

Ross

He says he's "honist" - give him a break!

Is he on here I wonder??

seller emailed asking which other mods have been carried out, and could they post pics of the engine bay, and post the graphs.

Yes, thanks for that. However, the 322hp mentioned seems possible from the mods he lists doesn't it? Or am I being retarded?

talking out of ones bottom cheeks springs to mind.

H2ypr you forgot the Blitz EBC. That alone can give 200 HP on a standard turbo

what a clown

From a boost controller, air filter and intercooler?

No I would say three options here

1) he forgot to mention the huge turbo
2) he bought the car already modded and doesnt know what he has
3) he is indeed a clown

whatever the outcome, number 3 is still true

mystery solved:

think he didnt appreciate my email though!

as i said, 322hp sounds realistic

The forum's quite judgemental these days isn't it?

suppose so, but to be fair it is on ebay, and we've all seen ridiculous claims (on all manner of things) on there before,

im keeping an eye on it in my ebay anyway, a friend of mine is tempted to get a coupe in a similar state of tune,

I think people were questioning the fact it was 322bhp @ the wheels, and a purported 429bhp @ the flywheel

Yes, I understood that

to be honest, this thread is the final straw for me

[Shabba] QUIT [Shabba/]

Final straw for what WMT?

If anything you maybe should have explained it a bit better. 322bhp at the wheels COULD be possible but not with a 429bhp flywheel figure.

Did u mean 322bhp at the wheels but nearer 350 at the fly?

Ross

..

Sorry, I was only trying to clarify the difference between the wheel power and fly power

Without getting too technical, 322bhp @ wheels would be very good on an RS, certainly at the upper limit (rollers dependant) which is fine 429bhp at the flywheel would constitute a 33% transmission loss, so this isn't possible with the stated wheel power or indeed the turbo.

This casts no aspersions on the seller, the ad writer, the forum, me... just a little clarification on the technical side.

Just noticed that he says it was live mapped at PT That clarifies the wheel power (slightly higher on Dastek rollers) but they have notoriously low transmission losses to offset the higher wheel power so I would be confident in saying it makes between 345-350bhp at the flywheel

429bhp? Yeah... I bet I could 'av him.

lol

lol love this fourm . by the way how long will that velvo clutch last ??

I just sold a 320 BHP coop for £3,200 - so bargains do exist

Well, it's good stuff, velcro...

velcro clutch will stick a bit
