you planning on swapping the engine? or getting a bigger car?

I want to get mine rr'd again when its back on the road so I can see if I've made an improvement on power and torque.

My 0-60 time was about the same.
Posted By: MattLFC Re: WOW,How crap is my car....... - 27th Dec 2007 3:46pm
Bah its not "too" bad, it has a big advantage anyway, at least the engine bay has tons of room to work in, the big derv lump and intercooler in mine leaves virtually no space to do any work in without having to remove mulitple things to make access easier lol.

Anyway, I know of plenty of Corsa's and the like that would struggle to keep up with that haha!

Lol, thats what I was thinking, everyone always says they are slow for some reason? Or is it just the lower end one thats sluggish?

I dont know much about em meself, but ive noticed the term FTSlow on quite a few occasions.

Posted By: StuyMac Re: WOW,How crap is my car....... - 3rd Jan 2008 5:30pm
The GT-Slow is a 3.0 twin turbo, 300bhp, but they weigh close to 2 tonnes omg - their power to weight is never very impressive.

The FT-Slows boast decent bhp figures, but they never seem to put any of the performance on the road - they are also very very hard to tune for more power...

I wont even go in to how hard both are to work on...
Posted By: turbo_stu Re: WOW,How crap is my car....... - 3rd Jan 2008 5:49pm
the fto's need more torque. bolt a turbo on them, that will make them quicker.

indeed.

Last time I had it rr'd, it was 103.75bhp and 81.30Nm as standard (apart from a Stuy Mac Special raftl ).

Now I have high performance cams, recon head, de-cat and K&N

doubt it'll be a big gain though
