What would be a realistic BHP figure?
Discussion
What would be a realistic BHP figure for either a 1.4 or a 1.6 feista 02 model with twin turbos and NOS if it's even possible which I seriously doubt because I believe such an engine would melt under this kind of torture unless serious money was spent which unless you where pretty well off and in love with feista's sounds a complete waste of time to me.
But I've recently been told that this is very possible and it has been done already

Ignoring the utter utter pointlessness of the exercise, BMW were getting 1500bhp out of a standard 1.5l road car block, when developed as an F1 engine.
So....if you were to change, inter alia:
Crank, rods, pistons, valves, valve springs, cams, head, bolts, gaskets, exhaust system, the ECU, and bolt on two turbos, IC, totally new cooling system, and then add N20, a figure of 1000bhp is *possible*. Two litre cossie and evo engines have been wound up to 1000bhp quite often. That said I would imagine that you would be looking at 30-50k for the engine and with the only original bit being the block. It would also be pretty much un-drivable and be a packaging and cooling nightmare.
