Im looking to boost the performance of my 225 f1. Suspension and brakes all replaced so now for power. Celtic tuning do a remap which increases torque and bhp by 50. Quantum tuning, in Worthing do similar but boost torque to 300 lbs/ft, with bhp to 255. I'm based in Brighton so can drive to a reputable tuner. The question is, what is the most 'balanced' option that will give maximum increase in acceleration? I believe the Celtic map brings the torque in at 2500 rpm. I'm looking for something like 6 seconds to 62. Is this achievable or do I have to cough up for a stage 2 remap. Your thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Hi Mark You need to keep the torque down to a max of 300 ftlb on your engine (soft con rods), i wouldn't push for big numbers, tell the turner what you want and what you use the car for, driving day to day you want a nice flat spread of torque it will be so much nicer to drive, make sure its a rolling road tune and not just a down loaded map tune, 0-60 is 6.5 sec anyway so you wont need much of an upgrade, to get nearer the 300 mark you will need a 250 turbo, bigger intercooler and upgraded intake.
As Ian said above! Plus bigger injectors. I've been running 302bhp/303lbft for over 18 months with no issues. I've got a full turbo back 3" exhaust, Airtec 95mm intercooler, induction kit, 630cc injectors, 250 turbo, uprated clutch and flywheel and was mapped by RS Tuning. Very happy with the results, its a massive improvement on the standard performance, I'd highly recommend! Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk
yes sorry forgot about the injectors , think the 95mm intercooler is a bit big for that power really, i had and still have a 70mm airtec intercooler and that was running on 320 real horsepower and not RSt horsepower, was absolutely fine. Also have a Pure motorsport non resonated exhaust was on the car for 3 weeks, for sale.
Agreed, the 95 is too big for that power. I eventually decided on it as will be forging the engine soon and looking for a big power increase. Didn't fancy forking out twice for a cooler. Just out of interest Ian, what are you after for the exhaust? Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk
It cost me £620 so £475, like i said it was on for about 3 weeks and less than a 1000 miles, put my 225 back to how i bought it.
Very nice, but I need to get my basics on the car right first such as the braking and suspension first. Where is the best place to source a set of 300mm tarox discs?
