Wow. Number plate should be FAR-RRR because that's what I'd be saying if in the passenger seat!

You using the standard 6 speed? I had my motor detuned to keep the box alive. Are you guys looking into gearbox options?

Its limited to 280 ftLB at the wheels (calculated back to the engine). What did yours make? Even more right?

Should be okay. It really needs harder engine mounts though.

Does it actual work in reducing drag ??
The parachute effect ??

I haven't put it in a wind tunnel yet. I might have a minimal effect atm. Once I make a diffuser it will be beneficial.

Besides all that I love the look combined with the
duck tail:)

I reckon it does make a difference at higher speeds, I did the same to my NB and that entire strip normally hangs down in the breeze...Any real advantage to be gained would come with managing airflow under the car though.

Can't remember the numbers exactly. But before he put on the extra external waste gate it was making about 450hp at 4000 or so rpm. He got it down to 380hp at 7000rpm. Also even less power/torque depending what gear it is in.
All pretty useless in a car that just sits in the garage.

450@4000rpm would need around 40psi..?

I found the txt.
374hp@6000rpm 18psi.
380lbft at full boost.
292hp at 5700rpm.
270lbft at min boost 7lb. Turbo rated for 370hp - maxed out compressor. Inj maxed out too. Rev limit at 7000.

He said 330hp is about the limit for the trans.

That's a 1.9L also yeah?

lightyear · Postby **lightyear** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 10:06 pm

It's a 1.8 still as far as I know.

An interesting photo I took that shows the behavior people talk about with stockish SE's.

You can see the low (yellow) line starts very low hp, and when the ecu goes open loop after emmissions testing rpm we get a bit of turbo HP for less than 1000rpm then hit the low redline.

I havnt seen dyno's for these cars just dríven them but I now have this one to show people. This car had the common ebay larger intercooler and a full 2.5" exhaust.

Cool huh
