What would you do?

Hiya,

I`ve got a pretty much standard 1994 Type R2, So far its got an Apexi PFC, Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller, De-cat and 3.5" Exhaust System. Thats it for the engine, so very standard.

She got a compression test about 4 months ago at WGT, as well as the power FC mapped and the boost controller set-up, it was high 7`s all round. Is it likely that the compression will have dropper dramatically over the past few months or am I going to be "ok" for a fair bit yet with those results?. On the Dyno the car produced 281.5bhp at 0.9 bar of boost.

Basically i`m thinking of trying to get a bit more power, i`d like to get above the 300bhp barrier and i`m wondering what i`d need to do next? Pip said the fuelling system was hitting its limits so obviously I would have to upgrade that. What else should I think about upgrading at the same time? Maybe an uprated intercooler and radiator?

I cant afford to go single i`m afraid, so really just looking to see how far I can go safely on the twins, and also what sort of costs i`ll be looking at?

Thanks for any advice and help,

Trev

High 7\'s is a good healthy engine mate..... think they are only just in to the 8\'s on a fresh build, so you should be good for a few years yet!!! it\'s when you get in to the low 6\'s you need a rebuild!!

I would say it sounds like you have a nicely setup car there, just enjoy it as it is, those extra 20+ bhp could turn out to be very expensive!

I would definitely consider uprating the cooling (i.e. intercooler, bigger rad maybe) before doing anything performance wise.

An I would stick with the twins anyway, unless your after 400bhp+ - the reduced turbo lag with the twins is what its all about

Cool, thanks for the advice guys.

So basically it isnt really cost effective to go searching for an extra 20+bhp?

I think I may just take the advice and leave her as she is, probs go on holiday or something instead haha.

Cheers
