Turbo/supercharger

Go all out mate, and do it all - uprate everything and run at full boost - it will be quick, make you smile and will make your car and engine pretty unique on these forums (cos most run on lower boost).

130+ 106 is standard & that was when the engine was new

if only it were true

Are you talking about top speed or BHP, alfonzo? Neither seem accurate. Do you have a URL for your information?

Have to agree with mark there! My car has definately hit 115mph as confirmed on my Garmin GPS which everyone knows is the most accurate way to tell your speed. As for BHP the owners manual states 110 bhp as standard for the 2.0. (although I think mines running a little short of that)


Any thoughts on the turbo manifold for the 2.0???? Just to give it a little more poke before I start getting silly with it

turbo manifold fits !!

yeah i do the arches , i may be tempted to spark the molds into life .

oop yeah, sorry, i was beeing a ****! apologies all round

thought you were talking about BHP,

in any case i mis quoted, so ive been a double ****

106 is the temperature the thermostat is fully open tho'

if it were my wife i'd swear blind that I was absolutely correct, & you were all wrong, hehe

B20F 80 kW (110 hp) @ 5400 rpm

I hit 141mph in my 480 Turbo (Road Angel GPS), speedo showed roughly 149mph or summat (all on a private road obviously). It was at night, so I lowered the headlights and just used foglights in an attempt to lower drag - not sure how much affect it would have had!

i knew id seen this someware....

October 2002:
Top speed
The extra air friction with headlights up should reduce top speed by 5 km/hr. We have no real life road test information to confirm this.

Interesting, not read that particular section before. Guess it's obvious really. The only downfall is the foglights aren't always the brightest on an unlit motorway when doing 141mph!!!
