ok can i just check a few things your saying that your mate could not map a c20let past 230 bhp with out bigger injectors a thicker head gasket and head studs ????pete1979 wrote:like i said i run a xe in a 7rep not bad engines but when u start to push for power they brake c20let 300bhp from a chip? not at 3 bar of fuel injectors aint big enough 230bhp runnin 100% i put 440cc in mine then needed a thicker head gasket then a stud convertion insted of head bolts then after tryin to run a kkk at 20psi i got a gt28rs turbo and a 3" front pipe and a front mount intercooler and a xe exh cam for more lift . not bad engines but to get power out u got to put money in thats all im sayin and to get back to what the guy asked is it worth putting a xe or let in a e30? in my eyes no for the time and money to do that makin mounts and a prop gear linkage loom and buy the motor and box u could put a m50b25 in all bolts up and fits and has 200bhp .

must be doing something very very wrong then cause a simple chip change for lets say EDS Phase 2 chips & uprated actuator & FMIC or chargecooler and set for 16psi over boost settle at 1 bar of boost will see 260+ BHP and will be reliable on a good standard stock engineok can i just check a few things your saying that your mate could not map a c20let past 230 bhp with out bigger injectors a thicker head gasket and head studs ????
As this is exactly what my engine runs in my nova
not gettin in to it mate he doesnt put a chip in and says there ya go it spends a day on the rollers and if he says 230 then its 230 ps race'd a nove that had the fancy chip and shit and 300bhp and that some how my 230 was faster lol
i would LOVE to know what he spent a day on the rollers doing if he did not change the chip the ONLY thing he could have done was to change the boost as without very very expensive equipment the vauxhall ecu is not remapable and even if he had that equipment he would have had to put a new set of chips inpete1979 wrote:not gettin in to it mate he doesnt put a chip in and says there ya go it spends a day on the rollers and if he says 230 then its 230 ps race'd a nove that had the fancy chip and shit and 300bhp and that some how my 230 was faster lol
so what he done on th rollers for a day fuck knows
i ment he doesnt just shove a off the shelf chip in he maps it all on a lap top and write's it to a blank chip and as he's chipin mclaren f1's and gt3 cup cars and f40's i think hes got the equipment
