Best possible BHP for an E85

[psw007]

Just interested in finding out whats the maximum amount of horses I could squeeze into my 3.0 E85 Zed.

I was going to Chip her and that may get me unto 240-245, without changing the engine! what other options are there, any recommendations?

:?

Stage 2 ESS Supercharger kit?

About 355bhp!

ESS goes further than that (ts2+ and I think they do ts3 on request).
But that all is nothing compared to this custom turbo build with 800+HP :dizzy: (yes.... on the wheels that is :!: )

(in a e46 though, but that is (was) the same engine)
And still a 'reasonable' torque curve (i've seen much worse/extreme in supra's etc)

Probably not cheap though :rofl:

not sure if I need 800 horses! I will happily settle for 300

I will hopefully soon have a machine shop set up like they used in that link. I have the ability to make all the bits in bobs Manifolds pipe work. Just need someone local to me with the engine building knolage who fancies doing something similar???
