Supercharged RS200 underway :D

This looks fantastic, you can get about 300BHP out of a supercharged fiesta ST i think. Wonder if the same gains are available on the 197

 

[Ed...]

Oh my god! That sounds evil! I cant believe the noise coming out of it!

300bhp on standard internals? more chance of pissing over the moon i reckon.

I asked quite a few reputable renault tuning companies ( wont mention names ) about how much power i could reliably use out of my nitrous ( as its a simple case of adjusting a metering jet to get between an extra 25bhp and 300bhp+ ) and i got similar answers from everyone.

250bhp is a reliable limit on std internals with 260bhp at a gamble due to the very high compression ratio of the engine ( so im told ).

 

[Paul]

TBH 250bhp is a cracking figure to get to - think about it, thats a 25-30% increase given that standard bhp is less than the 197 quoted. Would transform the car completely, especially with all of the extra torque available!

The last time a tuning company tried to get more than 260 bhp from a standard engine with a supercharger it went pop

lol this is true. A young lad in a fiesta ST tried to outrun me a few weeks back. I was amazed at how far i left him behind lol

Its ok i had the same thing as you tonight. However it was an older version Vauxhall astra.....had to be turbo as it was pulling away from me with ease. I was gutted at first till i followed him into the next town and saw everyone staring at my car and totally overlooking his lol that made me feel much better.

Clio Rs = Sporty and stunning
Older vauxhall astra = cheap family car lol

 

[Mikey22]

Hmmm.....this is a good point....could they mount the air intake somewhere else?

No problem with it being where it is.

Our TVR and I think most of them have the cone filter down there. There well protected at every service so water doesn't penetrate them.

Ours used to have a pipercross one which was standard fitment

a friend is in the middle of putting a calibra turbo engine in a mk 2 corsa lmao with a 4wd conversion. what a loon

Most Corsa C owners are loons. haha

 

[Sean]

This should be interesting!

 

[Mikey22]

It seems everyone is excited to see if this works or not.

I think if it does Jamsport will have a lot of customers coming their way lol
