How much is a CP3 generally going for in good nick? A quick google and I see prices from £250 > £1250 haha!
I think if you were going for CP3 then it'd only make sense with some appropriate injector tips so it'd be sensible to see them as a bundled pair of mods... if you are spending the money you may as well get something for 300bhp potential at ~ 1350-1500bar at top-end of the power curve. That then nicely covers off anything from 200-300bhp pretty much.
If you can spec a pair of mods like that and get them both set up right on one car, investing that time to do so, then it'd make life a lot easier for others to the point it'd make sense to copy that config because the calibration/setup work for the ECU had been done already!
Still a mega task though haha. How much would a fully re-built HDi engine cost with super strong internals that won't fall out at 5000rpm/300bhp?
If you are thinking you need a big fat VNT turbo, a big pump, big injectors, and a reworked engine, that is gonna be erring on £2,000 right away I'd guess, if not £2,500?
Probably worth thinking about a better gearbox/diff combo too. Hmmm...
