Re: Time to get rid of mk1 and get a mk2 tubby

You kept up with a r33 gtst. thats pretty impressive. my mates one is preety much standard apart from an air filter, exhaust and dump valve and it feels very quick. But then again i've never been in a mr2 turbo.

Re: Time to get rid of mk1 and get a mk2 tubby

What sort of BHP is a rev 1 or 2 pushing standard? between 200 and 240 isn't it? Their pretty easy to get power out of aren't they?

Re: increase mk1 N/A BHP???

Good job lads. i'm not going down without a battle with this 150ish bhp CRX. Is my TVIS supposed to give me a harsh kick, because at the moment it just makes a noise, i hardly notice any difference in performance.

increase mk1 N/A BHP???

Does anyone know the best rout to power. My mate has a 1.6 Vtech CRX. is there any way i can get to that sort of performance without having to rob a bank? i'm planing on getting a JR Induction filter, HKS cams and a full stainless Magnex exhaust. And were both going down for a dyno test on the 26th.
