What sort of power can I get from e5 gsr

[Stockevo51998]

Hi just wondering how much bhp I can get out of my e5 with inter cooler, panel filter 3inch exhaust from down pipe, fuel pump, boost controller 3port solenoid, I haven't changed the cams yet but what would people suggest and where can I get the car mapped in south west Wales area.
Also is it ok to run the car with these bits fitted without it being mapped as it is my every day drive at the moment.
Need it to be quicker than it is, as my little white rot box next to it is quicker at the moment

We can sort this for you, we just over the river in bristol. You'd be looking at around 360bhp. We charge £200 if that helps

good price that!

 

[tonks]

the car can make good power easily enough... its just if you bottom end will take it. early evos have let go at that power

 

[Stockevo51998]

Hi thanks for the reply, very interested in the remap for that price, When would you be able to remap the car? I should be able to get everything bought and fitted by january, what would the limit of the engine be on standard bottom end, if I made other mods like cams turbo and hot side

Where abouts you from mate?

Fcm have a really good rep, if you didn't want to go over the bridge there is always indigo near Tredegar

with an E5 we'd be looking at running 1.5-1.6peak bar taking it to about 360ish bhp. you could push it a little more but may the bottom end may give up depending on the history of the car.
Saying that I would really bother with cam's, make sure your turbo is in good condition (no play in the shaft) if not it might be worth changing.
Just make sure the breathing is sorted with the exhaust decat filter and maybe do the battery mod so that you can run the straighter air feed to the turbo.

we can map any time just give us a shout when your ready

Thanks for the info the car has been looked at by a mitsi dealer and they say it is in good condition engine wise, I have checked the turbo and it doesnt have play in it, the previous owner said he serviced it regularly but can't be sure as I didn't get full history of car, do u have a website or number to get in contact?

Hi I have now sourced the parts and fitted them and was wondering when I would be able to book the car in for remap

 

[RsvRob]

Best to give them a call. Than post on here...

 

[And@fcm]

we have a skeleton staff on this week as some of the lads are at LeMans, we could probably do the end of next week or saturday, then ever suits you really. We do stay late on the evenings also if needs be.

Andy

If by sourcing and fitting both parts your referring to a fuel pump and 3 port, from what I've heard I'd drive it carefully until the boost has been sorted as the 3 port will increase it.

Big thanks to the Andy and John at FCM they got the car back to what it should be like after fixing a few probs with leaks and a badly adjusted actuator, will sort a few bits for the car and call back to get the car mapped higher again.

Thanks again

The car is 100 times better than it was, gonna fit a standard sized inter cooler on tomorrow, that should help it to be a little less leggy aswell.
Thanks again
