Since I am now obsessing about this little car and will happen to be in the market for a new just as its being released, I decided to do a little research. No matter what I do, I always try to learn as much as possible before I embark.
Ok, based on what I've learned...the quoted toque for the MS pro must be way off. I used a calculator and came out with estimated hp of 132 with their quoted spec. Am I missing something?
Based on the weight and quoted hp the 1/4 mile should be ~14.9. That sounds about right for this class.
I'm really interested in creating more HP from the turbo. Does anyone know how much boost they tuned it for? I knew nothing about the details of turbos other than they ran off exhaust gas. But now that I'm learning, it looks like this turbo should be able to safely produce about 10psi, but no more b/c that makes the compression 15.1:1 Isn't that the max an engine should safely produce? Does the intercooler change these numbers any?
And first and foremost...how much money will it cost to get the boost up that high and what would be the safest way to do it?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
