Best way to get to 220hp

I have a standard MCS Chilli. I have already performed the one-ball exhaust mod. I'm chasing approx 220-225hp.

My plans are to fit a 15-16% supercharger pulley, and the MTH ECU Remap. How much power should this net me, and what more will I need to do to get to the goal of 220hp?

I don't want to lose the factory refinement and NVH levels, so keeping it smooth, reliable, and quiet is important to me, I just want extra grunt.

Ours makes those figures with a one ball, 15% pulley, cam shaft and ex manifold.

You more than welcome to come and have a road test

I'd love to... unfortunately being in Australia makes it slightly difficult. There isn't a great amount of tuners down here.

I see the lohen kit acheives 210bhp with a 15% pulley, belt, air filter, spark plugs, and a remap.

Well I can do all of that here with the M7 16% pulley, the MTH remap, intake and spark plugs which are all available locally. With the one-ball and the slightly smaller pulley this should see me perhaps just above 210hp... which will keep me happy.

I wouldn't bother with the remap if you are after 220 at the fly,I'm not sure why people offer a remap so early on,when the ECU will adapt it self.

The stock injectors should be ok power wise up to 230ish at the flywheel.

But if the remap will make for smoother power delivery, fuel economy and the extra rev limit, and give a little more power than I'm happy.

What I want to know is what it's going to take to get me there.

Manifold (MILLTEK/JANSPEED/GTT), Good Cold Air Intake (GTT/ALTA), 15% + Pulley, Sparks and maybe an Exhaust and modded bypass valve.

With good parts you should make 220 ish easy. If you get JCW injectors and ALTA/GTT/GRS intercooler you'll be up to around 230+

I wouldnt bother with a remap unless you have a fuelling problem but I cant see it myself.

17% Pulley, Intake, one ball and just enjoy it.

Chasing horsepower is a bad way to be! Just enjoy the new torque of the car and not worry about its HP.

Glad you like them mate. I trust the remaining 15 minutes of sat nav serverd you well enough to allow you to escape Manchester

Your car is seriously shiny - what polish product did you use to remove the swirls again?

Cheers.
