General Starjet Tuning

[egundoko]

I just joined this forum and want to say hello to everyone. I drive an orande 5-door GP Starjet and i'm thinking of making a few modifications. I'n your opinion will using RON100 and instaling a BMC CDA and a Supersprint exhaust get me to the 110 hp mark. Thanks for your help

P.S. I sent an e-mail to BMC and they said there is a specially designed BMC kit for the starjet planned.

Yes it should (nearly).

If you got the money a company called GSR Engineering in the UK can get you re-profiled cams and port & polished heads and ecu remap which should see you get 120bhp+ from the 1.4 16v which is quite a nice achievement .

They also do custom made Induction kits designed especially for each engine which they do for your car and give rough gains of around 8-12bhp on its own on that engine .

I'm not sure you would make quite 110bhp with those mods. Unless the supersprint is the complete manifold back job.
However if you did all those mods then had a custom map to suit your fuel and mods 110bhp should be quite doable.

No point runnning 100RON fuel unless you have the car remapped to make full advantage of it.

I would personally opt for the GSR kit, proven best gains time and time again. 100 ron fuel is pointless unless your running a high power jap car.

I would definitely go for the supersprint system, again it's been proven to give better gains than other sytems. As far as your remap goes, if you take it to red dot you can have the map done when you like, then keep on taking your car back to have it tweaked for the different mods.

I am not sure about a remap. I've heard that during service the dealer can overwrite it and on the other hand the stock ecu is flexible enough. It adjusts itself to higher octane and better induction. In my country there is a swiss firm which does a remap which adds +12hp. I think the best think for me to do will be to install the supersprint and bmc which will give me 108-110 bhp and then eventually to do the remap to 120hp if it turns out that I'll be driving it for the next few years. Because I'm thinking of buying an alfa or lancia in the not so near future and handing the GP to my blondie. My point is that a stock ecu with a BMC and Supersprint is an absolutely trouble free solution for a commuter's car whereas a remap brings some dificulties. I'm also thinking of putting an HID set some Focal speakers and powder coating the rims orange to complete the carrot appeal.:slayer:

powder coating the rims orange to complete the carrot appeal.:slayer:

are you crazy :nutter:

Your right to a degree your ECU will up the fuelling when you fit those mods but only until it adapts so you would have to reset your ECU every 3-4 weeks to get the best out of it. The same goes for 100RON fuel.

Rofl at orange rims?. Would look too much like a carrot then lol. A nice dark grey / black would suit it IMO.

lol if your goin for the carrot look then why don't you do them green
