300bhp from a 2.6 without use of a turbo... Two words spring to mind... "Bull" and "Sheet" 

Who wants to break it to him that painting your plenum blue doesn't make it faster 

[martin42]

Just messaged him to see if he has a dyno print out stating bhp and torque figures

Did the police use 2.6 omegas

I'll sell him my 3ltr cams, manifold and plastic divider.
Should boost it upto at least 400 bhp

Tbh, the coppers did use the 2.2's with factory lpg fitted for some roles

only 141.000 miles and a auto for a plod car ?

[cem_devecioglu]

one word : bollix!


without individual throttle per cylinder setup (non-existent in the picture) ,heavily worked cylinder head and very special map, there is no way a na 2.6 can produce 300 hp ..  even an 3.2 m3 with all those can hardly pass 300 hp..

[Yasmine Lee]

speak to any race engine builder they will say that the MAX you cab get on a normally aspirated engine in 100BHP per ltr.

So a 2.6 should be no more than 260BHP (at a bloody hard push) but yes will require a lot of work at a cost of at least a couple of grand.

Some how I do not think the police will do that.

Police spec cars use same engines as road cars but the cars are lightened. maybe a slight remap but thats all.

I have a 2001 ex DPG 3.2 auto,which I bought in 2004 with 40.000 miles on the clock,service history confirms to be correct.also have another ex met car with 74000 miles on it..MOT checker says it's correct unless the cops clocked it before decommisioning also have a 2001 3.2 with printout at 241 ponies

Where's TheBoy?

We should get this thing on the rollers. He might be in for a new set of ear warmers at this rate.

300 BHP from a 2.6?

Just "remapped to" 300 BHP, as if it's as simple as changing a few numbers in the map? Words fail me.

[ted_one]

Got to be a misunderstanding some where in the mix,or that engine is a mobile grenade waiting for the pin to be pulled
