Hello people, I was gona stick my 5 into Ktec to get the engine rebuilt and up to about 220bhp, but alot of u guys said other wise.

I'd like to know too....I think 180bhp is a nice figure!!Should be safe too!!Originally Posted by R5GTTdrew

yer 180 ish,but really its all about acceleration.
why have 220 ish when u can go to bb tuning and have 250+
BB tuning, r they expensive for the 250bhp mod??? Will that not b to much, ie u will need a LSD??? Suppose u would need that with 220bhp aswell eh!
Well what would u guys say is a quick 5 bhp, meanin where u get a fast 5 and not to much wheel spin and its undrivable???
If its 180bhp, what mods for that????
Well both my 5's have around 180bhp....
Both done in different ways...
White 5.
T28
Pace Front Mount
Carb set up for 18psi by Mart from here...
and being on the rollers at Track and Road 176bhp and nearly the same Torque...
1/4mile at 13.9 @101mph
Where as my Grey 5 is
T2/T25
Low comp pistons (BB)
285 Piper Cam,
Double core Intercooler (BB)
Carb set up for 18psi
and i dont know what the bhp is but has done the 1/4 mile at 14.1 @99mph
When your doing trap speeds of 100mph that suggest that you have 170-190bhp.
Both different set up's, both same power both different to drive :-)
u wanna look into having a decent turbo at about a 1.1 bar and get your fueling sorted and a piper 285 cam with uprated springs and i reckon youll be neally at 180ohh also if youve got a standard rad ide have a seporate oil cooler
around 150 - 160 bhp is quick
and very easy to achive with near standard engine.
get them turbos swapped over shoppers
I have always planned to do this... but only when i can get both cars on the rollers to set up the fueling :-)
Gotta get those little pinkies dirty sometime soon mate?!
Actually this very very weekend i got abit busy, sorted out my hole underneath the bettery tray with fibreglass... just the fuel leak to sort and it should pass the motGotta get those little pinkies dirty sometime soon mate?!
T25 or T28
Decent intercooler (FMIC)
Carb jetted for the boost (pref not by k-tec or the likes
Cam so you can rev it (285 or the likes)
decent clutch is a must (i'd go paddle plate with volvo cover or if you plan on running 180-200 & no serious drag just the green box valeo volvo)
decent exhaust (sidey or decent rear exit)
make sure the engine/cooling system is up to scratch in the 1st place.
That & 1.5 bar manifold can see you between 190-210...
Or at least on my car it was & that was running low comps, when the comp went up it was alot more responsive & at 24psi manifold was
Not sure anything over 200 would last long without serious maintenance or loads of gauges/knowing the car well enough.... certainly not a daily driver..
All IMO of course.
id go with what steve says
nice hybrid turbo
front mount
piper cam
and get some one in the know to drill your carb jets.
You might need a decent acutator though to run between 18 - 20 psi boost.
decent tyres..scratch that...fooking awsume tyres
its all affordable and cheapish to do and you will get betwenn 180 - 200bhp easily.
If you can get al lthat horsepowero nthe ground in the R5 thn you will be one lucky mofo.
The above way seems to have been tried and tested by many on these forums..with good results. (bar me as i just cant get the power on the ground unfortunatly, i like to buy cheap ass tyres)
Also needs a cam
whys that? the low comp engine already has oneAlso needs a cam
God low comp and 18psi...... get the boost up and some ign advance or even better loads of nossssssssssssss
mine has a stage 5 head, with bigger muilt engle vavle, standard engine part from that, front mounted intercooler, good oil cooler, alloy rad,better carb top, second hand uprated turbo what ever that is small lillte thing, and it does quater mile in 14.2 so all set up on a rr, so thing are looking good i say, soon have a 285 cam and t28gt, then what will it do, have not got a clue what the bhp is, but it is fun to drive, put a smile on all my m8 faces, lol.....?????
i like to drive my car on my own
70kg all in
Ok I bought a hybrid turbo from www.turbotechnics.com
It says power output 200-250bhp boosts 15-26PSI 360degree screwed thrust bearing for just under 600
Will this b a T28 or a T2 or???????
Anyone recomend any FMIC?????
Stage 2 or 3 ??
I had a stage 2 many years ago & it made 180 bhp @ BB tunings RR with a k-tec 260 cam @ 20psi
You're a bit heavy aren't you... I'm only just over 60kg'si like to drive my car on my own
70kg all in
yeah adam im bit on the heavy side at the moment
been working with my dad scaffolding for local factory and the canteen is awsome put on a stone nealy in two months ouch. soon lose it tho not working there any more. and will miss my three meals i use to have there. plus i ate 1 at home
with standard engine 15psi mani boost r5gtts are quick when on your own, if you got a passenger it makes a big differece to what you can burn off
But am a big built mother hubbered lol
Its a stage 3 turbo a got from them. So just waitin to c what FMIC a get, might for for a forge one, but a wana keep the standard bumper and not have it showin, dont like that look.
You really are twice the man adamL is lol

wot bhp am i runining m8?
stage 2 hybrid turbo
16 psi boost
side exhaust
induction kit
big front intercooler
few other little bits
i want 200 bhp
you are running 150-160bhp.
I'll go with that as well.
I would of said 153.8bhp with that setup guaranteed!!
What is the key to making a powerfull c1j, other than removing the 25mm restrictor?
No need to remove it, maybe a slight 1.5 mm trim to 26.5 and then speak to stuart clarke who seems to have thrown bits together to achieve over 300bhp!!
A good balance of parts, boost and rpm...........
rob is right , i would not even mess with the carb apart from getting it jetted right , non off this grp a lark, nice turbo nice cam ,right set up
I know no one to set mine up for me I have a nice selection of parts I just dont think im getting the best out of the carrob is right , i would not even mess with the carb apart from getting it jetted right , non off this grp a lark, nice turbo nice cam ,right set up
220hp is pretty easy to do in terms of picking the right parts but you need to spend some time on getting the carburettor right, it gets tricky at that power level.
parts wise a standard engine with BP285, springs, T28 running 22psi or so and a good (as large as you can fit) intercooler will see you there. forget overly big downpipes, fancy exhausts, headwork, 'race' plugs, leads, all that crap, you don't need any of it.
You need sme bling though, right Scoff?
you get around 220 ish bhp when you buy the megane 225
breathing is the key.... easier to remove/enlarge restrictions on the exhaust side, than the inlet side.
What restrictor are you referring to?
the carburettor
lol oh, opps
Classic case of something that you REALLY wouldn't want, actually working. No-one would (if they had a real choice) put a 25mm choke on something that was going to make that sort of power. Horrible pressure drop across the carb, excessive exhaust temps and residual cylinder pressures and the bloody things still make the beans.....
I give up
You know Jim this is the perfect sales pitch opportunity.....
In order to get 220ish bhp you need a Big Jim one piece downpipe!

In answer to your original question (as always).Hello people, I was gona stick my 5 into Ktec to get the engine rebuilt and up to about 220bhp, but alot of u guys said other wise.
Has anyone on here got that bhp if so what mods did u do to get them??? Or anyone no how to get that bhp
My car has a proven 220 BHP on rollers (no comments required)
Work all done by K-TEC.
No disrespect James, was that advertised as one of their "350bhp" engines?
yes im stating the white one

So you could have spent the same amount of cash & got a faster car then
Or spent half the amount for the same power....
maybe time was an issue? he may have been going back n forth to iraq/afgstn!So you could have spent the same amount of cash & got a faster car then
Or spent half the amount for the same power....
im sure it was james car that ive seen a vid clip of.? was going kinda quick and im sure he was being followed by a kitcar? caterham? it looked quick never the less
james,what has your engine had done to it? your profile doesnt tell much.
with james's engine bay he's paid for a lot more than good power output, it's a work of art that's had an awfull lot of time and effort spent upon it. it's not always just about numbers.
i know for a fact that he bought every single item Bob had to sell that was chromed.
i also know for a fact Jimbo isnt one for getting his carefully manicured nails greasy.
