Re: It could go faster, here's how. my mechanics are a bit rusty. But doesn't uping the psi on the trubos past factroy specs severely increase the risk of basically blowing up the engine? the intake manifolds can only take so much and dosen't busting those running at that kind of pressure mean the engine winds up riding shotgun with you? And isn't it possible to put too much air into the engine? And to the geniuses out there proposing to put nitros in this baby and max the turbos, and max the engine means you probably won't have time to crash into a tree before the welds give out and the engine compartment expoldes. Either that or you'd probably have to get a new engine after the run. Even with full factroy specs this car is pratically undriveable on the road once you take all the limiters off and take off the displacement on demand features. Imagine that acceleration on a regular road. But keep in mind my mechanics are foggy.
Re: It could go faster, here's how. You wouldn't necessarily blow up the engine. For example, the VW 1.8T runs between 7 and 8 psi from the factory (versions range from 150-180 hp in VWs and up to 225 hp in the Audi TT, which runs a different turbo and slightly more boost). However, this engine can handle WAY more boost than that. I've seen more than 20 psi with no change to the engine internals. The engine is capable of around 375 hp reliably on the stock internals. So, it's entirely possible that increasing the boost on this engine wouldn't harm it in any way.
Re: It could go faster, here's how. ok. i see, but i would be worried about the safety of the car after that. It would be much to fast for it's own good.
Re: It could go faster, here's how. Yeah thats true......with a #$%#ing civic engine, this is bugatti were talkin about!

Re: It could go faster, here's how. K, alot of you guys make really good points, and ya, you could pump out alot more power, and go alot faster in this thing. Why though, when are you actually gonna go top speed in this. I'm not saying i wouldn't like to get more power out of this if i had one, i'm saying i'd never use even 3/4 of the power available because the damn cops wouldn't let me. I think that unless you're gonna go to a multi mile drag race, i think you shouldn't tamper with teh car, just in case you #$%# it over, and no one has the right to wreck this beast.
Re: It could go faster, here's how. If you drove that fast on the Autobahn you'd probaly go into the back of a car before you saw it coming. I've done 120Mph in a 9000 turbo and and you have to be careful then cos of people ni their Fiesta's and the like so at 252Mph even more so. Agree or I will ERADICATE you. Joke.
