Anyone else find that impressive from a 1.6 8v???
it is very impressive and richard longman has built some nice stuff, but the honda b16 engine isnt that far behind in bhp in standard form
yeah but alot can be done to them engines
yeah i just mean for a 20yr old naturally aspirated 8v thats good going.
make you right mate 1.9 gti easy goes 190 bhp for 2k or so aswell
Not really. Has anyone noticed the price?... Not to mention £10k for a piece of **** 205 engine
Sorry, but you could put together a good 500bhp engine in alot of cars for far less than that, what a joker.
i wouldnt pay that i agree you can get an evo 6 with 300bhp or old m5 or two fat fives!!
A 10 second civic is cheaper
we talking 1.8 or 2.0?? i prefer old civic esp type r and integra
or a mustang with 400-500bhp wud do 11secs i reckon
what 1.6 engine come out of? surely 1.8 180bhp or so integra engine beter??
you two in a little race battle aye??
1.6 one cam is it from old toyota drift fav . if not what cars had that engine
i can see its alot power for a 1.6 8v pug engine but look how much it costs to get that that power
my 205 gti6 isnt far from that power and that cost me 230 pound and thats standard
ok so d16 you saying is not as high reving as rs250 b16 engine??
good engine been in a 306 gti6 wasnt amazing but good power delivery 306 to heavy tho
i agree, its a ridiculous amount of money to be thrown at an engine.
on 1/4 mile higher revs ok but on track you need low down power , are we talking of turbod d and b 16 engines? or naturaly aspirated?
whats kerb weight of a 205 compared to a five?
when i had my five running 160 bhp with a heell alot of other mods i done rtoc track day and went past a couple 205s stripped and 306 gtis , a 205 with gti6 engine must be fast do you use the 6 speed box or a 5 speed
thing with the pug boys they love to stay loyal to the old 8v, theres some chap on the drivers forum who spent a fortune on a 1.9 8v engine and made over 200bhp but that went wrong with oil issues, more money than sense
205 1.9 or ren 5 turbo two cult cars. i know we are on a rt website but whats better??
standard performance times are same but on track i think 205 mite have the edge , modified tho i think the 5 has it hands down
i have no fear had many fast cars and four superbikes never knew how fast my five was on track or how well it handled at high speed
its been debated on here before, from my experience i would take the 205 everytime, its not as quick as the gtt but i felt i can trust it, not driven my 205 gti6 tho cause we still building it, so i am comparing a standard 1.9 gti to my old gtt running a bar, standard on standard the gtt is a tad quicker
five lighter but both have same suspension set up??
not the same suspension, but both have rear torsion set up
i would love to have a mint 205 1.9gti but a five has turbo and that wins for me what you think, pug can have throtle bodies etc but unles engine transplant cnt see ever beating a tuned five
if i could go back 8 years and knowing what i know now i would choose the 205, i just think its an allround better car
i also think a car is as fast as someones wallet
exactly right my mate had a skyline r33 gts with 600bhp spent 30k had solid welded boost pipes cost 2k a turbo size of my flat, great in straight line but put round a bend put your foot down and all that power is useless, i think since i was 17 i spent 150k on cars and bikes , go back 8 years i wuda saved and got audi rs4 and tuned to hell. or r34 gtr
