Can you increase HP without increasing torque
AndyK replied to Jay Bamrah's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Similar to Martin, it came down to having instant torque delivery and general responsiveness. Car has plenty of low down grunt now, and power continues nicely higher in the revs. Ultimately, it's an expensive purchase either route (both transform the car) so if you don't have a clear preference in your mind perhaps give Abbey (I'd recommend these guys from my experience) or Fensport a call, and if their demo cars are avaliable it'll help you decide. -

Yeah its been great, coming up to a year on this setup. Mark explained that the stock manifold, 2nd cat delete is more restrictive, hence I'm making lower torque and hp, around 265nm, and 240 hub - but have the 2nd cat ready to go back in at the point I upgrade the manifold..I'm tempted to go the same route as you with the rogue at some point..but to be honest the car is plenty quick enough as it is for the amount I'm driving it for now -

I think TD Turbo makes c.230lb.ft, so >310nm. Something worth considering..or it was around that when I looked at both options. My spec is similar to Martins, slightly lower as I'm running stock manifold with 2nd cat delete, with Harrop SC. -
Abbey did the complete install, ecutek licence, mapping etc. similar to Martin in terms of cost. Although the Harrop kit had increased in price by the time I ordered so a little more. I had uprated discs, pads and lines fitted at the same time so breaking down labour is a bit tricky as it was all as one. Would recommend speaking to Scott or Mark at Abbey, both very helpful.

Another vote for Abbey and the Harrop. Have been running since September, has completely transformed the car. I'm running stock manifold, 240whp.
