Post some pics when you are done. Do you know the approximate crank horse power numbers people have made with bolt ons and ECU tunes? Just curious...
The stock CDI is rated @ 41bhp. Most ppl go for the 20hp remap which brings it up to around 60bhp @ the rear wheels. From what I'v been told, there's a Smart shop in BC, Canada, where you mail your ECU. It's shipped back to you with 100hp @ the rear wheels. I dont know the torque values but generally speaking, diesel engines torque numbers are near double the bhp numbers
