kmb

Hi,I must admit i know very little about this subject but would like to look at options for my car.
My car is the same as the one below but is the sport model which has 8.2 1-100km rating.

Engine Power - BHP 150
Engine Power - KW 110
Engine Power - RPM 5500
Engine Torque - LBS.FT 170
Engine Torque - NM 230
Engine Torque - RPM 3000
Engine Torque - MKG 23

It seems that 190 bhp+ is available by using a TMC Kit.
See Below Link

Does anyone have any idea is this the best way to go, should i get a remap etc?

Any advice welcome

Regards,

Kieran

I feel you'll be pushing it too far. Look at the VW TSI engines.
It's not like a Glanza where you can up the boost 50bhp and nothing suffers

Hi Colm,

What do you mean "Look at the VW TSI engines"?

I dont want to change my car and though i am very happy with the power,a wee bit more might be fun.

How does the specs measure up against other petrol cars with regard to the nm figures etc?

Regards,

Kieran

The high hp (170) VW 1.4 TSI engines have a reputation for blowing turbos, even CAR magazines long term tester blew a turbo.
I'd be concerned about upping the boost on a small engined turbo engine.

Totally agree on this model your max boost per "bar" is in 4th a bit, then 5th and 6th. Turbo etc. won't take the extra boost pressure they all ready tuned to the max for the size. Can't really compare to a VAG they got stronger turbo etc. well the newer ones anyways. On these you would really need more boost from 1 to 4th for the engine size on this model don't recommend it!!!!!

its a bravo though


you Could bump it up, but why bother... grantted you might get upto 190ish but how longs the power band ??

how much more regular maintence will be required ??

you'll need better tyres also to maximize the power gain....


100,000,000 small little issues you have to solve before going ahead with this.


Best of luck either way.
