POWER VS ECONOMY
"Getting more power without hurting your pocket"
In today’s climate were fuel is expensive, the government are taxing us heavily and everyone is on about the theory of Global warming the motoring enthusiast who wants more power seems to be under attack.
Big engines are apparently killing the planet - and the motorist is getting the blame; despite the huge emissions from factories, manufacturing industries, and increasing aircraft usage.
So what do we do, give up our desires and resign to the electric car that barely makes 50 miles?
Or have to take a loan out to pay for the fuel tax on the car that will give us the power that we have always desired?
The answer NONE of the above, We are encouraged by the men in Downing Street and eco-friendly enthusiast to drive around in small engine cars, So lets do as they ask.
But they have overlooked something, FORCED INDUCTION! They have failed to see that FI can produce as much power as the big straight sixes and V8’s with more benefits.
We have found the answer, Auto Custom Engineering have now become UK Dealers for Mosselmann Turbo/ Supercharger Systems. Mosselman’s ‘bolt-on’ turbo and supercharger kits are available for most German made cars.
They allow the car driver to still get nearly the same MPG as they expect from the small engine car. But when they want more power, the kits will gain them 30-40% on their engine producing a car which will still keep money in their pockets whilst fulfilling their power desires!
The kits come complete with everything needed for the fitting, including full fitting instructions so if you feel confident the home tuner can fit it, if not we will fit it in our workshop in Surrey. The kits run low boost so no need to up rate any of the engines internals.
All kits come complete with a secondary ECU so no need for the expensive remap, They all come with guarantees and warranties, The kits start from £2900 and they are available for BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES, SEAT, SKODA.
Mosselman produce kits for most engines sizes; 1600 right up to the M3/X5’s and more
We also offer the facility of building custom kits for most cars up to your specification power; these are built in our workshop and tested on the engine dyno.
TorqueCars are impressed by the quality of the kits and the power gains on offer without requiring a rebuild of the engine and would recommend that you contact Auto Custom Engineering for advice.
