this is such an epic setup mate & i cant imagine how happy you must be!

i would love something along them same lines and tbh 200+bhp is mental for the money you have spent tbh! :y:

i know its probably a big ask but could you get up a full engine spec list? i just wanna see what kinda componenets your running as im thinking about doing roughly the same as what you've done. :D

plus one ;)

There's not much too it tbh lol. off the top of my head;

DP turbo kit (turbo, manifold, downpipe, hoses + fittings etc)
9:1 Decompression plate
ARP rod bolts
491cc Injectors
4 Bar FPR
2.5" Exhaust system
Walbro fuel pump
Coilpack + lead set
3 bar MAP sensor
Helix paddle clutch
Turbosmart dump valve
Intercooler/boost pipes/silicone hoses
K&N air filter
Gizzmo boost controller
Slimline fan
Spoox engine mounts
Battery relocated to behind passenger seat

Sure theres a couple of things i've forgotten, then there's all new filters, plugs, oil and many nuts, bolts and other fittings etc etc :y:

thanks for the spec!
So what does 222bhp feel like on the road?
had a play with anything interesting yet? :oops:

How long would you expect this engine to last on just a decomp plate?
Did the engine have a rebuild?

can any one else answer this question? :)

If the boost isn't too high, the fuelling is well setup, Intake temps are good etc and it's well maintained, it shouldn't last any less than any other engine

This is a low boost set up, on a respectable size Decomp plate. And to be honest the guys who built it know what they are doing. As said in previous post the turbo will probably go before the engine does.

Thanks for the info.

Was looking to go forged but if you can get over 200bhp from just a decomp and some arp rod bolts then this seems a far better option.

I have been in it and its very decent power aswell.

supercharged lotus exige :homme:

and the outcome? :D

Was with dan last night, lotus exige S got his pants pulled down on 12 PSI when the gizmo had one more to go. On the straights it was rather easy, corners obviously no chance and standard brakes aswell so dan was not driving like a twat.

The owner of the lotus was very upset, and i mean emotionally. :homme:

lol - good stuff ;) stage 1 turbo saxo is a lotus exige S eater :)

good to see the set up is working well. i think our stage 1 kit is the ultimate road package. usable power and when off boost feels just like a normal car. :)

- colin

thats what i like to hear lads.

these cars are soooo fast when boosted lol

Looking and sounding good. Would have been nice to see her opened up a bit. Shame about the traffic.

Still going strong! Some complete U-bend decided it would be fun to kick my quarter panel in one night, so she's got a bit of a bruise there. Other than that, nothing's really new i'm sad to report.
Randomly met a guy from sheffield the other night with a home-built 550bhp focus RS, even got to go for a ride in it :D That's spurred me on to get more stuff done to mine! So hopefully, there will be some decent updats in the coming months ;)

Bad news on the Damage via bellend.

Good news on no issues..
Get the box sorted and wind the boost up

Box is sounding like its ripping its self apart on the inside! Hopefully dan pulls his thumb out of his ass and gets a B/E box and some big brakes! :y:

Well he's only on low boost in stage 1 so there's LOTS of scope for more, just get the box and brakes sorted like you say, turn a rapid car into an animal :)
