JUBU Caterham 490 power upgrade
The JUBU SEVEN 490 performance kit increases the power of the SEVEN 340 from approx. 170 hp to a whopping +245 naturally aspirated hp. The performance kit was developed in-house by our technicians and precisely tuned and extensively tested on our dyno and on the road. Thanks to the balanced set-up, extensive testing and the high-quality components used, there are no restrictions in terms of the durability and usability of the vehicle despite the increased power.
Benefits / advantages
- Performance increase of approx. +75 naturally aspirated horsepower
- Significant improvement in torque and performance
- Enormous gain in liveliness and sportiness
- Reinforcement of the engine block with forged pistons, steel connecting rods and upgraded connecting rod bearings
