westie bhp?

[th89mas]

alrite, whats the most bhp i can get out of my mk1 westie? i have seen throttle bodies on a quicksilver can these be put on saxos? o and what are they ha....

[piggy123]

no point going bodies tbh unless you will be doing most of the work yourself.... unless your minted

i used to own a westie that was recorded on rolling road to have 94.8bhp and a good torque curve

how much do you have to spend?

[th89mas]

i ent minted lol id say i wudnt av a clu how to fit them if i had a year to do it.

Say around £400. i still have a standard air intake, im thinking of getting 1 of them forced air 1s? recommendations? cheers

£400? Won't get you anywhere really lol

£100 for a forced(enclosed) induction kit
£120 for a raceland manifold

gives you £180 to play with to get a full system... good luck imo lol

[th89mas]

cheers lol i ent got a clue how much this stuff cost so budget out the window!

£400 would get you a vtr engine - instant 90/98bhp!!
