How much hp have you now?

Do you feel any difference with only the BMC?

I felt like it had a bit more torque with the cda especially in the low-mid revs.The car was stock when I installed it.


The car now runs @ 1.35bar overboost.It should be around 180hp.


I hope to get it measured on the dyno in the next months.

 

[ReaperX]

Boost gauge installed!!

Day and Night mode (peak 1.5bar but didn't catch it )


Maybe I'll change the cup as I don't like the base..I would prefer a round one.

New induction and front calipers...

hey, do you think its worth getting a BMC on my 1.2 and will it fit cos they only do it for the 1.4? cheers

Thanks!!

Downpipe and tube is 60mm before midbox,and 55mm after it.
Backbox tip is 90mm.

CDA imho is the best choice for a na car.


Although don't expect any noticeable gains especially on the 1.2...

Cone filter,and fly eyes installed..

Cone filter,and fly eyes installed..

hows the filter? not getting heat from the engine too much?

fly eyes :slayer:, thats the darkest shade of black yeah?

Performance wise seems the same like the cda,but the sound is much more aggressive!!

It's getting more heat,though doesn't seem to affect the performance as I logged the intake manifold temp and seems ok.
Whatever the intake temp,the turbo is so hot that the air becomes hot so all the job is up to the ic I believe.


Fly eyes are the light shade of black...A bit pita to fit I can say,and I was in a hurry so application was not very good.
Maybe I buy another kit to try again...(or abarth fronts...:yum



Also ordered wheel spacers for front and rear wheels...Let's see..

what size spacers?

yeah ive got fly eyes on mine i re-done the rears as it just doesnt seem to go 100% right but they look good now although ive gota re-do the left headlight as its peeled :bang:

the induction suprises me i thought with its position youd suffer heat soak pretty badly!

5mm for the front,17mm for the rear.Hope it doesn't rub


I will try making more logs with 4th gear overboosting,though when cruising don't think it has any problem as the air flows in the engine bay.
Where it should suffer is when car is stopped,but who cares about performance in traffic?

 

[ReaperX]

New front brake discs from brembo!
