[SAM_TCE1.2]

ok so i got it back last saturday just got round to taking a few pics more to come.

full janspeed system

k-tec chip/remap

ap coilovers (sits perfect)

130 BHP

140ft/lb torque

its fast!

 

[Tom]

I like it.

Lose the K-Tec Stickers, Space the rear wheels out?

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

spacers are my next buy after a dump valve. not sure how much i want to push them out though :s

 

[RDH]

Define fast? It may be nippy but I can't see it being fast.

 

[jaye2992]

very nice! what was the bhp at stock?

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

fast = being able to move quickly. id say it does that im not saying its a super car, just alot quicker than it was.

stock was 97 bhp mate thanks.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. They're not fast at all, even with 130.

Looks good though. Bin the stickers and it'll be even better.

 

[Rob]

I like that. Do they do a different grille for the mk3's?

I know nothing past the mk2 if I'm honest.

Rear wheels out while improve the looks a fair bit.

How much quick is it over stock? Does it pick up a lot better through the gears?

 

[RDH]

I think it would be remarkable if it didn't with an extra 30bhp.

And getting back to the fast comment, my Mini is 170bhp with 155ft/lb of torque and its anything but fast.

 

[Matt W]

LOL at fast. I used to think my 172 was fast.

Looks good though except for the stickers.

 

[rankins]

like it, an a stock tce is 100bhp

as said mate lose the stickers and probs colour code bump strips, how much did the re-map set you back please mate im tempted

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

fast.[/I]

id say that was pretty fast, i like the cooper s, someone down my road has one.

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

yes alot better pick up compared to standard in all gears, it was well worth it imo

i bet a twingo GT would shift with that sort of power!

good power gain 140lb/ft will shift it along nicely especially since you will get boost pretty low down the revs id imagine being a wee turbo?

still a bit away from my 180lb/ft though

haha yeah the twingos are quality when theyre chipped.
the boost comes in almost instantly its not big but i like it
any one know where i can get a decent dump valve
any links?

 

[Martin_172]

thats pretty cool then, any future plans for it? are you running standard injectors?

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

yeah standard injectors mate. future plans are dump valve maybe injectors and throttle bodies maybe a cone filter just to make it chirp a bit more not too sure what else any suggestions??

 

[Brett]

Thottle bodies on a boosted engine? Its occasionally done like on the Nissan GTI-R but it will cost you literally a fortunate as everything would need to be custom fabricated. Better off just buying a 197.

 

[Christopher]

LOL @ 'throttle bodies'

 

[SAM_TCE1.2]

didnt know so much work/money was needed i was told by someone they were worth looking into but clearly not lol
any suggestions what to do then mate?

 

[Martin_172]

well whats limiting you now? injectors? clutch? what ever is limiting you id be changing that and going for more power! what are the turbos good for on these cant be much over 140bhp i wouldnt think?

stick a TD04 on it from an impreza like the starlet boys do lol!!!

 

[akaboogie]

yeah sam i think it looks nice mate and have to say it the best mk3 iv seen around are ends. and it a lote better than stock now...100% better and performance wise as well as iv been in it befor and after k-tec have done ther stuff...

dump valve it would sounds...ace....

 

[leeds_182]

Looks quite nice.
