Im Looking To Tune A New C70 T5 (2.5 Turbo, Intercooled). I Live In Las Vegas But Am Willing To Go To Los Angeles / San Diego For The Tuning.
I Would Like To Get It Over 300hp From The Stock 218hp. I Have The Money, I Just Need Direction.
Please Offer Some Guidance.

 

Ok well here are some idea.

1. Upgrade your turbo to something bigger. Like a 18T or 19T.

2. Upgrade your fuel injectors as well

3. SAMCO turbo and coolant hoses if this is a 98 C70.

4. 3" downpipe and 3" catback system with free flowing muffler.

5. ECU upgrade, (IPD USA, RICA, Upsolute, EST, SpeedTuning USA)

6. FMIC, has to be custom made.

7. K&N panel filter because the stock setup is the best. However you could go for the EST intake setup.

8. Tubular intake manifold, has to be custom made.

9. Upgrade all vaccum lines to silicone versions

10. Get a boost gauge which is essential. Autometer makes great ones

11. EGT gauge and Oil Pressure gauges as well

Talk to IPD. They can get you the necessary parts and expertise to help. If you are going for 300 hp, then it will do nothing for you unless you upgrade the brakes, suspension, and be very very leery of the transmission. Lastly.............you are talking about a front wheel auto...........not the best on the skid pad!

Yeah I agree upgrade your sway bars with IPD's kit. Also get a strut brace from IPD, EST, Volvo dealership or OMP if you can find one. Also upgrade your springs to lowering springs or KW coilovers. KW coilovers will be the best performance but costs the most.

You should also upgrade your brake lines to SS versions, drilled or slotted or both front rotors. Might want to upgrade to the big brake kit which is great.

The transmission should be able to withstand 300 Hp.

 

I went with a Euro Sport stress bar.............a Canadian outfit. It is a nice piece in the traditional form. I have heard of failures in the auto transmission with increased torque...........IPD can fill you in on that.

I also have an EST strut brace, very good. I love it.

Yes the auto trans will crap out with so much power. However I think it is rated to 300-400 something like that. I may be wrong.

 

S70, it is the Asin/Warner trans that apparently can fail...........supposedly the G.M. trans can take some punishment. None the less, I'll bet you surprise some 'drivers' from the stop light!

I was on that site a year ago and was suitably IMPRESSED. Some how all that performance in a front wheel drive vehicle seems silly. I could see that in a rear wheel or four wheel............ But can you imagine the stop light drags?? I could see you now TECH, sitting at a light with your Mustang and all of a sudden a brick blows your doors off...............

I could see that to.

Only till I finally get mine TT then it would be a nice race!!

 

That Garrett kit looks nice, but how much power can a stock block handle?

 

They say about 300 is MAX.

 

that should be good enough, what are the weak points in the engine?

 

Haven't really seen to many that Beefed up.

I think it is the Rods.

 

RODS are a weak point.
