you guys have to remember what the powerband on the 1.5L turbo vs the 1.8L n/a is going to be...
the 1.5L is going to bog down low, 1 because it does anyways, 2 because its going to be trying to spool a turbo... so when you mash it at 1500 rpm, you still have to wait for the boost to build, and you still have to wait for the 1.5L's natural powerband... which gives a whopping 92 peak flywheel hp mid-high range
if they are going to build a turbo kit that will give you 180 whp, thats giving your an additional 100 hp
thats gotta be a really complete system with some sort of fuel management device, fuel pump, injectors, pressure regulator, intercooler, piping, manifold, BOV, as well as a turbo, that will have some reasonable boost levels...
thats over 100 hp per litre
this isnt going to be a cheap modification
because you're going to have to drop the tranny to change the clutch anyways
and all you 1.5L's with the F25-MR tranny's, which is all of you
you're all going to break them
trust me, i kno all about the F25-MR tranny's ****tyness since the dealership rebuilt it once, and now it needs to be done again
i race the car, but never abuse it
ask bruce, he's physically lifted up the 1.5 and the 1.8
there isnt that much of a weight variation
and to get 100 additional hp
this isnt going to be a 6 psi turbo
you're going to need more boost
more boost equal's bigger turbo
bigger turbo equal's more lag
more lag equals more time to build up
and you all only have a 6500 rpm redline
not to mention Z5 motors have higher compression than BPs
im sorry guys, it just doesent sound like the 1.5 people are being quite realistic
i mean, patrick has the F25MR tranny, i THINK
and he has somewhere around 200 whp on his gtx motor
and ask him about how much work and effort he's put into it
and we dont even know longevity wise how well his transmission is going to do
