Exclamation Custom performance upgrades. Check this thread weekly.

I have been inactive for a while. I had a few things (family matters) to attend too, and also just got back from a long vacation in China. I have meet directly with a couple of manufacture in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. I am registered this year for SCCA Solo racing (most likely in CSM class), and my race manager is going to register me with formula D. So we are starting to do some prototype for mods. One will be a custom air intake box, and another will be a turbo upgrade. I have spoken to programmer and this person has been able to actually crack the c250's ecu and was able to do a full "flash", and not a "soft clash". I will update this thread periodically, but for now we have launched a small start up business for upgrade performance parts, and I will be keeping you all posted. My car now is a project car and we will start by cutting more weight. Hope to post some great news to come!

Interesting. Haven't seen anything from this car in a while, thought you scrapped this project. Would be real interesting if you can turn this thing into something that can compete on the race track, especially Formula D.

Guy, this post was done almost 3 months ago and since then the OP has disappeared even though he said check weekly for updates, I wouldn't keep holding your breath there.

I would be curious to see what kind of power one could get from this engine in stock and big turbo configurations.
