in the end I think I might do the obvious, and go M30! Much easier, even if it hasn't got truly ultimate power, it would at least have enough torque to make me smile! LOL

ok, I can see your point there. It is of course a fair one. But initially, for road use, how much power would that simple list give me? It would at least sound good with the six branch though huh? Lets be honest, it might be quite fun to drive, even if it isn't the fastest thing around! Bolt on's an...

6 branch
chip

Most power I can get from m20 2.5 NA?

I'm confident that this has been answered before, but how much can I get from an M20B25 NA? I don't need driveability. Just maximum power. I suppose reliability might be nice, but I don't mind high maintenance.

Anyone know?

Thanks! :)

yeah your right, high for 4 channel, low for sub. with regards to the degrees turn knob it's a simple case of phase adjustment. If you've got all your cabling correct e.g. positive to pos black to black etc then you should be ok with 0 but if the sub sounds a bit funny in comparison to the rest of t...

with regards to the gain on the two channel amp, it's even easier. just set your gain to half and then turn up your headunit untill it begins to distort. then take it down a couple of notches, then turn up the gain on the amp untill that begins to distort and take that also down a couple of notches....

1 for the front inputs, 1 for the rear inputs and the third is most likely a simple through pass to allow you to daisy chain amps together

I also spent about Ԛ£300 three months ago on a supersprint exhaust system for it as the last one was blowing! Now I have to sell the whole car for very little!

I'm in Portsmouth

Portsmouth. I'm just so annoyed that I was mislead by the garage after I went and asked them when I bought it. I guess I could fix it, but I'm a little disheartened now!

This car I have now decided will not be fixed by me...

I have a complete car with mot and tax for sale. It is in good condition, with a new supersprint back box, the rest of the exhaust system has just been replaced, 16" wheels with brand new back tyres, a k & n cone filter and is otherwise in great condition. EXCEPT: the cam belt has snapped. I haven't...

I think it must be the belt as...

when I was accelerating (hard) suddenly I heard a bang and the car died. It now will not start.
