3gdean Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ohh ye true btw is it possible to gain around 150-160 bhp? Without turbo? On D series? I have 125bhp stock with complete custom exhaust and air filter is it possible to get around 150-160bhp? itll take afair amount of cash to do that, talking decent 4-1 mani, cams, port polish, intake + mapping to suit probbaly looking at the price of a bseries + some. be interesting to see what @Chandler will be making my 1.6 loved the 7.2K redline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
