I would ask myself why 200 bhp ? Do you wan't a useable car or something mental ? If it was mine, I would concentrate on getting it set up correctly and remapped as a G40 and you might be pleasantly suprised at how well it performs. Then you might wan't to spend money on making the car handle the power/torque (if you haven't already).

I suppose the noise of an eaton is a marmite thing Yoof.

I love the noise of mine.

Hate to be a buzz killer..

the Above mentioned "350 bhp scooby"
If its the sti 6 type ra.. then it weighs in at 1270kgs and 350bhp  .... well ... just check out the little gay calculator

Power at Flywheel (BHP) :   350
Weight without Driver (KG) :   1270
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) :   280.01
0 - 60 (Secs) :   3.77
0 - 100 (Secs) :   9.76
60 - 100 (Secs) :   5.98
Quarter Mile (Secs) :   12.42
Terminal Speed (MPH) :   112.83
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) :   12.02
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) :   116.65....

Not even the legendary Yoof is close with his 13.1 quarter turbo polo..

Really.. wow .. im still in 2008 i think?

so what power / rough weight we talking in the polo now ?

realisticly tho Scooby is probably mostly standard and also 4wheel drive..
yoof has spent thousands of not only money but time to get this far..

Dont think sohailg40 will be teaching any lessons in the little 40 ..

Unless therefore the Scooby owner was maby a little keen on his 350hp quote?

dunno how much yoof has spent but it wont be what it costs for one of those imprezas.  the car was running about 225bhp at the time, his faster time was more to do with suspension setup than more power than when he did the 13.1.

Terry- those calcs (although fun) are flawed as they assume alot! To get my 12.5 I apparently need 283bhp  ;D

In my experience at Santa Pod, most 4wd cars aren't that quick for their specs...

For instance, a 470bhp RS4:

What makes a G40 quick on the road is it's instant torque and lightweight  :)

you all prefer turbo nd K03 can give you app 170-180 hp
but why not G60? Heyesey is telling they are not good for G40 engines...but why that lot of people fm Germany nd Austria are using this conversion?
G60 can blow 1.3 bar with small pulley. You think gear box can't handle this power or?

OK but fm your opinion what is better: turbo or G60 charger ? nd why ? (let's talk about standard G 1272ccm engine)
