What Bhp conversion do you have?

ok, I'm interested to know what bhp conversions you guys have had done with your R53 MCS's. I'm not interested who's done the conversion just which power increase you guys decided to go for

Happy New Year to everyone and lets all get on nicely

Nice idea for a thread, I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

It would be nice if there was a "standard power" option, to see the porportion of people who haven't made any changes. Yet

A missing category

You have missed out 270, and 300 and 350 and 391

I went for 280, as this is closest to mine.

Cheers,
K.

Hi Karl,

Yes higher bhp category's could of been added, but to be fare I don't think these will be so popular at this present time.

Happy New Year

Hi Dave,

Great to hear from you!!

Yep like you I'm a very satisfied customer of West Tuning, Rays takes a very professional approach towards his customers cars and doesn't sell you parts you don't need unlike some!!! but thats a story for another day...

250 but its the torque im after!

I did notice the flat spots that appear on the dyno dont appear on the road graphs logged and the time through rpm is shorter? The 1320 dyno is harsh but true!
Lucky is a way of life (tm) 243.5 bhp & 205.3 ft lb
