power 4 my c2 gt

21st May 2005, 17:05

ive just got a c2 gt and ive already got a 4inch backbox on it but was wondering what else could i do to beef up the power as i was racing a m8 in his vtr and he pissed all over me

and i havent seen that many induction kits 4 the c2's

21st May 2005, 20:11

does a gt have the stupid flappy paddle thing gearbox?

21st May 2005, 23:40

no it doesnt.

Same route as you would take on a saxo. Back boxes really dont do anything for power on our small cars.

Full, exhaust, maifold, enclosed induction kit are your starters

21st May 2005, 23:49

kk but i was wondering is there ne fing else i could do 2 get even more power out of it ie supercharger as ive come into some cash and i could most probably afford it lol and no it has a normal gearbox

21st May 2005, 23:49

let me get this right ? you just had an incident in your

last car , yet your raceing your new pride and joy .

21st May 2005, 23:56

You need a full system for a start e.g magnex then either a BMC or a Viper after that a GMC manifold thats what i`ve got on my C2 VTS.
I havent had it RR`d yet but i can feel the difference mate

22nd May 2005, 00:07

ill ave to try that then harper how much all that set u back? is there ne tubo'd or superchargerd c2's? i had to break in my new car by givin it a bit of a thrashin but i aint gonna kill this 1 thats 4 sure its 2 nice

22nd May 2005, 00:09

No turbo`d or supercharged yet cituining are on the case tho

22nd May 2005, 00:11

I`d say i`ve spent around £1500 including wheels and tints

22nd May 2005, 00:16

wot wheels ave u got? is it true 19's will fit with no scrubbing?

22nd May 2005, 00:19

Have you not been on C2 Sports Club mate there a lad on there called lazy_arse_pie from Liverpool he`s got 19`s with a bit of scrubbing he just rolled his arches and its all sorted now,and hes got it lowered on coilovers mate,its a GT by the way.
I`ve got 17 inch Team dynamics Pro Race 1.2`s mate

22nd May 2005, 00:42

bet they look nice, didnt know there was a c2 sport club wots there website?

22nd May 2005, 00:44

C2sportsclub.com tell them HarperVTS sent you mate.
I`ll talk to you on there if you going on now

22nd May 2005, 00:50

super charging can be done but not cheaply, the BSI and ecu are a complete cock at the moment to try and fool, so a standalone motech unit is the answer at the moment, GMC had charged the vtr but the seperate ecu for the senso drive would wipe its memory ever time so that it wouldnt work

22nd May 2005, 01:10

scott im totaly

by wot u just said but to me it sounds as if ill ave2 w8 abit b4 i can get it charged wot about nos?

22nd May 2005, 01:14

no reason why you cant run nitrous oxide (nos is a brand name and a shit one at that).

If your wanting nitrous then look at nitrous express

22nd May 2005, 01:24

cheers 4 that scott i will be on the blower 2 the nitrous express guys i think a 50bhpshot would do me nicely

22nd May 2005, 01:27

A guy on c2sc had nitrous and fucked his engine gutted cos it wasnt covered under warrenty

22nd May 2005, 01:29

i think you should concentrate on not bending it round a pole first

Nitrous if fitted and used correctly shouldnt blow engines

22nd May 2005, 01:31

LOL probably didnt know what he was doing and he probably fitted it himself LOL

22nd May 2005, 01:37

lol probably a dry 100 shot with nothing else

22nd May 2005, 02:07

so wot sort of shot do u think i should get? if i do get it i aint fittin it leave it 2 pros

22nd May 2005, 02:21

nos is for wuss's! u got the money go the charger route! where about are you based?

22nd May 2005, 02:25

im in south wales ben_j bot a 1hour drive from cardiff there arnt many tuning places round here like

22nd May 2005, 02:40

bummer, i know a place that'd charge it for you for around 5k but its right down in southampton

22nd May 2005, 02:41

25 to start

off to this place in cardiff on monday 2 look at some nos kits so hopefully ill be getting home alot faster

22nd May 2005, 21:56

mmm... time urself there then time urself back!lol

22nd May 2005, 22:24

there are a million and one things i'd rather spend £600 on than nitrous, eg ecu remap/cams/full exhaust/enclosed filter/manifold/headwork. i'd rather have the extra power all the time than just in short bursts.

22nd May 2005, 23:32

i agree. dont get nos

22nd May 2005, 23:39

why buy a c2 GT when your a speed freak? go for somthing abit bigger?

22nd May 2005, 23:51

think insurance has prob got a lot to do with it, and also he's gone from a 1.1 to a C2 Gt, that's a pretty big step if your used to driving a 1.1

23rd May 2005, 03:30

lol tell me bout it guys the c2 is well fast i luv it ill time my self 2moz on the way down and back but ill ave 2 take into account traffic nd like otha shite ie road works but hopefully ill be even faster i think next mod will have 2 be a speed camura detector lol

23rd May 2005, 03:37

or just dont speed.

24th May 2005, 01:04

got my nos

i got a 50bhp dry kit on there and a 10lb bottle of the great stuff didnt bother timing myself traffic was a nitemare

but its awsum its activated when the accelerator pedal is pushed to the floor i love the stuff gonna ave 2 get a refil soon tho

24th May 2005, 01:07

do u have a proggresive controller?

24th May 2005, 01:11

yeah i got this controller thing i gotta go back dwn 2moz so they can show me how 2 work it but u can still use the nos without it

24th May 2005, 01:12

dry kit, meaning it doesnt have a jet to add extra fuel as well? Didnt think the ecu would be able to compensate for that amount...

24th May 2005, 01:18

yeah a dry kit is where you just have 1 line the nos line and a wet is where you have 2 lines one fuel one nos the car is running ok so far (touch wood) i dunno how they went about fitting it it took them ages 2do it like and i gotta go dwn again 2moz so this dude can show me how 2 use the progressive controller

24th May 2005, 01:48

hmm dont kick it in low down the revs or... BOOM and better hope it fuels ok and doesnt detonate!

24th May 2005, 01:51

kk cheers 4 the advise m8

24th May 2005, 01:54

my mate blew his up by kickin it in too low down the revs, the torque causes A LOT of stress on the engine. did they rolling road it with an AFR gauge to check the fueling was still ok and not pinking?

24th May 2005, 02:03

i dunno m8 i just left it there and went back in 3hours they seemed ok with it and it runs just like it used2 im a happy man 4 now

24th May 2005, 02:26

i'd ask em mate to make sure its been checked out. u dont want it pinking running the gas!

24th May 2005, 04:13

"50 bhp" jet of just nitrous is asking for trouble without adding extra fuel.

24th May 2005, 22:43

went down to cardiff 2 day my progressive controller is a piece of piss 2 use i asked the guy steve if he could add a fuel line so a £100 extra and i now have a wet kit and they put it on the rollers it runs even better now and now with the controller set up i can put as much or as little nos as i want. just gotta watch thos speed cameras now lol

25th May 2005, 00:09

good good! so now u "shouldnt" kill it
