Technical Tuning my HGT

[Bravo_HGT]

i have heard that there is nothing you can do to tune the Bravo HGT with any real effect, is this correct, i have a 147 model.

yeah apperantly best increase in performace is nos. airfilter would be about 1 or 2 bhp not really worth the money de cattin would be point less doesn't gain any bhp iv been told by every1 that has done it and rolling roaded there 147 hgt. you would really have to spend about £800 if you want to add at least 10bhp

Damn right im good in bed i can sleep for days!!!!

ok so its gona have to be nos, didnt realy want Nos cause i would rather have the power there all the time, but, how does the HGT take Nos? will it hold up ok? what would be a safe gain, 75bhp? last of all is a turbo an option or is it an engine swap job?

Cheers

im not sure if can stick a turbo on the 20v engine they made it in italy its just the 2.0l 20v coupe engine. but i think because its left hand drive over there when the converted it to right hand drive for here the space they need for where the turbo goes was lost due to other parts bein moved around to fit steerin rack etc etc but don't quote me on that. i think thats why they never brought it over to england. NOS will give you around 75bhp your right, so don't go blow £200 on an air filter for nothin but i am gettin one soon just for the wounderful nosie it make's with 20valves makes my punto sound like a panda. but i am not spending silly money on a filter..
Also i think the NOS hooks up fine iv herd a few people have done it with no problems just don't tell your insurance.

Nice one mate, i have a cosworth ram air cone filter sitting about, i think ill fit that just for the noise factor and get some nos as soon as the pennys allow.

Well, there are a few things you can yo...
Air filter, other exhaust (bigger), chip.
But, if you want it to be extreme, put a 20v turbo in it... Bigger (T28) turbo, front-mounted intercooler, chip. 300 BHP. Strip the interieur and from 0-60 (mph) 0-100 (kph) will take about 5 - 6 sec..
