My Citroen C5

[CENTER]My Citroen C5

What manufacture is that car?, but it looks very nice. What size Engine?

[Kai Robinson]

He already said - Citroen.

As its a C5, the HDi engine in that is likely to be the 1.6/2.0 or 2.2 although judging by the trim level, i'm going for the 2.0!

Yes this is 2.0HDI engine 110KM and 280Nm torque. Now i made some changes and ... 190KM and 405Nm

[vengance_01]

Thats a Euro Auto maker only?

[One_Hertz]

brand new infiniti g35xs. Got myself a nice present for my 20th bday...

Yes, I believe Citroen is based in France

[Kai Robinson]

Citroen is French. Sells to everywhere in Europe, pulled out of the US market in the wake of the 1974 Energy Crisis.

Part of the PSA group, so its 68% owned by Peugeot.

KM = kW, right?

For those who cant use the metric system, that means he's modded it from 147bhp to 254bhp, and from 206lb/ft to 298lb/ft

Nice gain - chipped, i'm guessing?

^- i like the coupe version of that model

Those numbers don't seem right for a 2l HDI - even with an aggressive remap it would be ~150-160bhp.

[it_burns_when_i_pee]

the figures for the hdi, did you simply add them up or have it "benched"

you cant really go by quoted power gains on these performance parts

as an example, the subuaru i had was 280bhp as standard, fitted with a +40bhp chip, uprated fuel rail, fuel regulator, recirc valve, bigger injectors, more powerful fuel pump, ram air intake with strictly cold air supply & exhaust .. added all up the car should have been pushing more than 400bhp

roll roaded at 336bhp if i remember and only achieved 342bhp after a further remap. including a competition clutch (that only lasted 23,000 miles), that lot cost more than 6,000 GPB .... or 13,000 dollors on exchange rate.

and thats on a naturally high asperating car. given the gains on percentage, a smaller horsey powered smoker would not gain as much

the passat tdi i have now is rated at 130bhp, i havent altered it apart from a air filter to allow better breathing and outweigh replacement elements. its quick and does over 50mpg treated right, the f'kin scoobby only did 4-12mpg

oh the money spent adding to al gores pie chart figures!

And more mods

It's true. Remap don't give so much power. But i make a much more mods for my c5.

I may as well make my first post a car post. Here's my 05 Evo VIII RS (aka the "ticket magnet"):









I've got a thing for carbon fiber

[Th3MadScientist]

are those TE-37 Time Attacks ?

[choc]

Yup, 18x9.5 +35mm offset. It was the widest wheel I could throw on it without running a widebody kit (275/35 FTW).

Mmmmmm... rice.

[choc]

I'll admit that all the carbon fiber = rice, but the Moton clubsports and 489hp to the wheels sort of make up for it. If thats not enough I've got a lifted 07 2500HD as a daily driver.

The truck makes up for it, but only so far since its not a Ford...

[Th3MadScientist]

carbon fiber is far from rice...

[choc]

The roof and the trunk aren't rice (dry carbon). But that hood is about a three pound bag of it because it weighs more than the stock piece. Ford trucks = meh

I think you ment to say, carbon fiber is far from nice.

[Kai Robinson]

Eh, i've been considering getting a lot of CF goodies for my car....they make whole doors in CF, as well as the bonnet and the tailgate - substantial weight savings!

http://www.google.com/translate?u=ht...&hl=en&ie=UTF8

5kg each!!! 5!!! Consider if you will, each door on its own weighs over 4 times that much

Of course, these would be sprayed the same colour as the car, to be unnoticeable from stock parts
