What BHP do you recon ???
I have a FRST 92 J which I bought from some bloke who said it has 195 bhp !!
Could it be this high with the following mods ??
Mongoose exhaust system,
FSE Boost valve,
Bleed valve (unknown boost),
Superchip,
K & N airfilter,
Bailey Dump valve,
Mondeo rear spolier (adds 50bhp at least )
Everything else standard I think
Er I thnk that is it !!

That seems rather high to me. I'd find out what boost you running mate. You don't want the engine to come though the bonnet do ya?

If your car has std: turbo, i/c and injectors/fuel pump you have no chance of 195bhp.
The std injectors can not cope with the amount of boost required to make a FRST have 195bhp.
cheers

yeah I was thinking of having it rolling roaded but its a 6 week waiting list and costs about £50 notes I think, unfortunately thats about £49 more than I have at the mo
I am happy with it anyway as it always makes me when I hit the green pedal, spins in 3rd in the wet too so it keeps me on my toes
Just wondered, cheers all !!!
Will check the injectors tho

i would get it rolling roaded as its the only way to find out. as my new one is totaly standard but is running 135bhp about 3 month ago when the last bloke who owend it had it don, but getting it done again soon as im fitting exhaust and filter, cheers si

It had a 195 superchip, beige injectors, magnex exhaust, piper t2, hybrid t25 and was running 186 bhp@ 1 bar.
now has pace intercooler, adjustible cam pulley, cossy fuel pump but has'nt been to rolling road for a new setup. Oh and Im still using standard airbox and have only clocked up 56K. That dump valve will have to go but what air filter is best??
Would'nt have thought your pushing more than 160bhp, if you are, piston meltdown could be on the cards apart from other millions of problems that you will inevitably have before your car is half way reliable.

You can get 160-170bhp with out the threat of piston meltdown. If set up properly it could be pushing that out.
