Direction to 380+ for BWA Engine
« on: December 21, 2017, 11:18:10 am »

I am currently using APR k04 probably with 340 to 350 hp for years

I'd like to have more now and like to know the best direction to get 380+ Bhp

1. What is the max safe HP (K04 on BWA ), how can i get 380hp+?

2. Do you suggest bwa stock internal with TTE 420 ?

3. I am currently use APR EURO V2.0 file for K04 tune, anyone have review of it?

Thanks in advanced

TTE420 + CDL/BYD engine + APR TTE420 tune.

BWA might survive, it might not.  It's a gamble unless you fit forged pistons and rods.  CDL/BYD will take the punishment for longer as it was built stronger in the first place, but eventually even that will let go if it gets a beating regularly.
