F7P or F7R turbo

[lewis_willy2]

as above which is better for turbo-ing and why

i think the F7P because i had the choice and went this way.

just because its a very rev loving unit which is what you want from a turbo engine really.

[lewis_willy2]

so if they were both running 1 bar of boost what would be the outcome

[MAXIBOY]

think the two litre might make more torque and even power at lower revs but the 1.8 might have it when it came on power. difficult to say as there would be nothing in it in real terms just think the 1.8 would be more fun really as you rev the nuts of them.

[lewis_willy2]

fair enough, just wondered as ive got a friend who is considering the conversion but wondered why bb tuning supplied the 320bhp chip on the 1.8 but not the williams. but surely the williams is capable of 320bhp

i believe they call it stage 3, correct me if im wrong

[MAXIBOY]

the reason is that they mapped a 1.8 to 320bhp thus had a test bed i believe.
don,t think they have done a 2.0 litre.

they may have a 350bhp chip soon.

[Justin..]

i'd go 1.8 purely cos engines are cheaper. unles you an get a 2.0 b/e for £50 like i have done

[lewis_willy2]

any ideas of the boost they run to get near 300bhp

[summeh]

as said by justin 1.8 would be cheaper if things go pop... but if I was gonna do it then i'd go 2.0.

Stick with the F7P when turbo'd imo..
