Technical Abarth Turbo on T-jet 120hp

I would think clutch would be ok dependant on how you drove it but there is only one way to find out if its gonna go or not ;) Everything else internal wise should be fine but then everything can always be improved so depends how much money you are willing to spend :)
 
what kind of things and cost we talking?

clutch what 300squids?
manifold
intercooler
sport cat exhaust
re-profile cams?

how much do these things cost with fitting etc.

brakes seem more than capable

after seeing someone on here with a lester bodykit im thinking bodykit too eventually :) its a beautiful car but just something to add something!
 
Brakes would definately need to be upgraded. You cant have a relatively large power increase and leave the standard brakes on. There is a couple of grand there in parts alone. A full supersprint exhaust system with manifold is going to be about £1000+

With all the stuff you listed and a remap you will be hitting more than 160bhp and you will have a shed load more torque aswell which is important dont forget ;)

You could start with an uprated disc and pad combo then see how that goes. I can easily get quite a bit of brake fade on my standard set.

I plan on taking my tuning further when insurance allows yes :) 152bhp is quick but i want it quicker :)
 
i was looking into some red brake calipers and got chatting to the guy about engine work especially intercoolers as i heard on a turbo car it really increases torque

he said you dont even notice torque when driving:confused: i thought it sounded abit weird!

yeah insurance is a pain in the future its going to be so bad you wont drive unless your rich until your 35 :D

what do you think 170bhp and 210lbs? possible without wrecking things?
 
lol of course you notice torque. If you didnt notice it then why would it be so important? I couldnt tell you what you could run without wrecking stuff its completely hit and miss when it comes to tuning and you find out what stuff can take as it breaks ;)
 
It would be nice to know how much torque the gearbox can handle. Obviously we'll find that out "the hard way" :bang:
