ive been shopping...

[Oscarsr20]

well picked up a red 04 1.5 s for mega cheap dollar on sat, so time to improve it! Orderd a blitz sus filter, a second hand apexi safc, stil got to get a manifold, exhaust and get my flywheel dieted! Im hoping for around 110bhp which should liven it up!

 

[Oscarsr20]

oh and not sure of the compatability of the safc.. And one got any info on using one on a qg15de?

 

[deano]

well my 1.5 is running at 106bhp atm with just a cat back and bmc induction kit

I heard a rummor that the 1.5 has the same circuitry so your qg should be the compatible like the 1.8. there's a few forums that bring up info if you google for it

 

[Oscarsr20]

i like the sounds of that the end spec should be, cold air kit, lightend pullys,fly wheel, safc, decat, stronger spark, and cams. Head skimed, any suggestions?

 

[Oscarsr20]

ballpark figure on out put? Mileage is 23k, and just had a full service too

 

[Simcard]

any suggestions?

Drive it nicely, leave it alone, save your £££ and in time buy something quicker from the off.

what pcd and c/bore are n16s? I mite pick up some hubcentric spacers so i can use my s15 rims

 

[edk]

This forum has loads of info you need mate. Search is your friend

But N16's have a PCD of 114.3, sometimes described as 114. Don't know about the bore though sorry.

Handling might be affected by spacers though, as Naylor found out:
