am interested in tunning my car up rather a lot, would be keen on going to the hpt. what do i need, i guess bigger turbo, lower pressure pistons and different head. i am aiming in the region of 360 bhp plus. i also want to know what cost are involved in the upgrade. am trying to save up i guess its going to be in the region of 2-3k. main problem i have is living in n.i i need it to be reliable as wont be able to go back and forward to get it fixed. your input in this would be greatly recieved. i would change the car to a c70 2.3 but mine is very clean and have it really looking well. regards alan

surely itd be cheaper to drop a t5 lump in it.

Surely it'd be cheaper to buy a T5? The lpt's don't like big boost, VT are worth a call and will be able to sort you out!

dropping a t5 in is an option but i know the engine i have and its in good condition. i would rather keep the originall engine granted wit alot of new parts but stil with the same engine no. and that sort of stuff alan

To cut a long story short, it's definately possible but you will probably need to make your budget a bit bigger unless you are prepared to do the engine build work yourself. Also, you'll need to ditch the BSR PPC and have a custom map done on a rolling road with that sort of setup. Adam.
