looking to take it to round 400bhp will be fine mods am looking at are boost jet chip back boxs cone air filter new red and oil cooler not sure about intercooleri want dump valves but i read its not a good idea as messes fueling up but may hybrid one wont i duno

getting wheels refurbed leaving them stock and maybe a low level wing but not sure yet

Not sure on the dump valve thing tbh. 400 BHP is very easy with just a few small mods on the TT just make sure you get a good once over done on her first either yourself or id recommend you take it to zedworld and get them to run a health check and diag its not expensive and its worth it

who and were are z worlds keep hearing the name but have no idea. have you see a place called the z cente are thay any good as there no to far away

zed world is in Birmingham and they have proven themselves the best place to take zeds over the years everyone here recommends them and there very reasonable price wise. Im not sure on the z centre although I have brought parts from them before.

i live on the wirral the z cente is a lot closer to me i have look but can seen to find z worlds website

Boost jets & chip will not see you to 400bhp. Z32 ECUs can be mapped the same as an aftermarket ECU (Link, Power FC, Motec etc) to a point, generic chips serve a purpose (once upon a time, and I still do supply these on occasion), but not if you're wanting 400bhp with minimal modifications.

 

400bhp on a stock Auto isn't anywhere near as easy as is being made out either, I'm afraid. You need larger intercoolers or front mount for starters. You also need to be willing to run your small Auto turbos (.54 A/R) at relatively high boost levels. If you must have dump valves, fine, but they're a waste of good air if you ask me :)

 

In order to make that power reliably without pulling the engine to fit larger turbos, you need to reduce the BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption) of the engine. BSFC is a simple measure of how much power is produced for the amount of fuel used, and a lower BSFC is better. You do this by making the engine breathe as efficiently as possible. Low intake temps, minimal restrictions on both intake & exhaust side. These engines respond brilliantly to larger pipework and/or dual intakes.

rite ok good info is i do back boxs cat back. intercoolers with twin air filter boost jets and chip uprated rad and gear box oil cooler how much bhp at the fly wheel would i be looking at and how much money would it take ?

funny been near a year since I got the car and started this thread if you read tho I was looking to keep the car stock and was looking for 400bhp. near a year on the car is in bit ful on rebuild and looking for 600bhp now lol how funny how your plans change in a sort space of time
