More Power!

Hi

I've seen a lot of posts and photo's about cosmetic mods that everyone has done or seen at shows but has anyone seen or done any serious work on the engine? Another 50 BHP would do nice. And yes, I guess this would invalidate the warrenty! I wonder if they'll put the 180GTI in the CC one day? Cheers

Jason

i have a feeling they won't put the 180 into the 206CC, they might wait until the 207CC.

the 307CC is definitely getting it.

dont think any1 on here is really into power in a big way except paul and he has a supra to satisfy his needs.

although I did lookinto supercharging a 2ltr cc lump - but basically the cc engine is not capable of taking high poer unless you do a gt6 conversion and then you get lots of other problems such as chassis strenght etc etc.
soo yes buy a supra

If you check the ecosse website i'm sure they do a turbo upgrade for the 2 litre.

Surprised the ecosse marketing director (

Derek! lol) hasn't already pointed you in this direction!

you can put throttle bodies on it to give you some extra BHP for about a grand-ish

or go for a turbo

but that will mean having to uprate alot of stuff including brakes and suspension and that means some serious $$$

depends what sorta power u get. i'd say the cc brakes are ok for a power hike.

you gotta be kidding mate .. the cc breaks are terrible. they over heat so easily and fade so quickly. You'd need to at least change the pads and disks .... trust me , my cc had 3 laps at castle coombe and when you are comping up to a corner and theres hardly anything there . brown pants trime

drive your cc hard for at least 20 minutes and you'll feel the fade.
