BUTLER Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 My mate says he can get my 1.6 to 150bhp! I did doubt him but he knows what he's doing and has had a lot of he's car (thats he's modded / tuned up) in revs! So i'm guna go for it! But will sticking in 4 subs and 4 amps slow it down greatly? Not sure if i should just go for sound and leave the speed out of it with this car!? Or just go for it! I wanna know if the ICE is guna slow it down a lot!

I wanna know if the ICE is guna slow it down a lot! getting a 1.6 zetec up to 150bhp will be pointless though, cos its have soooo much strain on it, and for the price it'll cost, u could surely get a 2.0 in there? and that will have almost that as standard, then spend the same on that and you'll have 200bhp and a shedload of torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTLER Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) I was looking into the 2.0 mondeo engine but the person that would be doing it for me said they are slugish and that they are not as good as people brag about! He mentioned about gettin an RS instead, keeping the bottom half of my 1.6 and puttin the RS head on or sumink? But then he said it'l be hard finding a desent RS engine! Think i'll just stick to doin my 1.6 up for now! And the subs and amps i want are the vibe space subs & amps! Was thinking of either a 8/10 in both front doors, then 2 12's in the boot! I'm sure they wont/cant put on to much weight! Edited August 10, 2004 by TEMPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the stuff concerning RS's, LMAO It's ur money at the end of the day mate, but i just can't for the life of me see the pint in spunking a load of money on a 1.6 when it's got fcuk all torque, making it sooo gutless, I know cos i got one meself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
