I'm looking to go with some pretty made power with my beloved fabia. but just wondered what others are running and if you have encountered any problems along the way?

many thanks

As my signature, 179bhp/300lb torque, coming up to a year like it and fingers crossed no problems

but I do drive with it in mind, no blasting it below 2000revs, think sorting out the handling is very important

as well, I haven't and it rolls around like a pram around bends, Lol, must sort it out

well atm i am running KW variant 3's, with a map from rs tuning and itg panel air filter. Which puts it around 170 bhp and 300 ft/lbs. but im thinking bit figures

My PD100 Elegance:

Before: 113bhp

After that: 145bhp

Now: 0bhp

Soon: Back to standard power...

To explain, my ECU is having to be replaced at the moment :( (unlikely to be as a result of the remap though).

Fabia PD100 Comfort

Was - 100 bhp, 177 lb/ft

Now - 135 bhp, 235 lb/ft (Estimated), running Dragon Digital PD tuning box and PD160

Sufficient and any problems are usually my own doing. Not had anything really suffer massively due to big power, but then I have pretty much changed everything

running 181 bhp with a remap and jetex pannel filter

Hopefully its a little bit more now as fitted a PD160 and k & n filter need to have it re-rolling roaded tho !!

At a guess....

1.9 bar so around 220bhp to 230bhp

torque anywhere from 350lb-ft to 400 lb-ft

mods

Turbo Dynamics Stage 2 Turbo

SeatSport FMIC

323mm brembo's

Miltek cat + Exhaust

BMC CDA

SeatSport Brace

KW V1 Coilies

Richard Washbrook remap

Helix clutch and SIngle Mass Flywheel

Problems....

boost hoses popping off due to pressure... all sorted now

gearbox main shaft went?

standard dual mass flywheel started rattling... so uprated to single mass flywheel

IF you want over 200bhp your talking

clutch £880

intercooler £550 - £600

turbo £1000

remap £400-£500

thats nearly 3k and that is the minumum you will need....

after that its

better brakes

better suspension

exhaust

Money wise on mine it was at 5-6k when i bought it and i've thrown another 2.5k at it

Its a dear do.... just buy a BMW 330d

Will you hurry up and get this on the rollers man. £35 - £40 for a power run is surely a drop in the ocean to know what power you have now! You may be running more power than you think with those mods!!!

I'm on first RR post rebuild 25th Sept, so will not be long until I know my true power. Hoping for final mapping before then too.

Current Power :- 182bhp / 295lb

Engine Mods :- Stage 1 Re-map

Problems :- Clutch starting slipping in 3rd gear onwards, mainly on a motorway booting from 2k RPM. Revs used to jump up and fall down. Could of driven many more miles like this, however had the clutch replaced 500 miles ago.

I`m doing mine on more of a budget. I`d love to spend £££££ on every part, but i have other things to pay for :'(

So,

Eibach Coilovers 6months old, paid £250

312`s £170 near new

Seat sport FMIC and froge pipework £480

plans are a big turbo, this includes a oscari map, fitting, egr delete and a hybrid 150 for £1000

The only pricey bit i cant get cheaper is the clutch, but then again i dont wanna scrimp on it tbh.

I am currently running enough power.

that is all.

180BHP with 310 ftpt love every min

179bhp 334lb/ft. Changed the wishbones and put better brakes on it. Standard clutch, unless you want mega power you don't need a different clutch unless you can't be arsed to change gear properly. Like has been said, I just wouldn't bother spending big money on it, just buy a better car.

Its not about changing gear correctly. It seems to affect some cars after a stage 1 remap, There are many cases on the forum that after a remap, the clutch starts to slip, however many people have reported no problems with the standard clutch after a remap.

Mine had done 55k, remapped at 50k and started to slip around 57k.

Come on fella! Is that without labour or do you do it all yourself? What about breaking? Cornering? :S

Just like Banana said you are looking at nearer 6k to have a safe 200+ car.

You can never have enough power!!!
