Bigger turbo or uprate internals?

<< < (2/4) > >>

chungster:
i don't think its worth doing one without the other really! i.e. Internals + big turbo not either or.

the OEM internals can just about cope with the K04 maxed out.

so whilst uprating them is good, you won't see much gain as the OEM turbo is at its limit of 360bhp.

so if you want more power, you need a bigger turbo. GT2871R is not bad with uprated internals, this should take you over 400bhp.

and internals i mean rods/pistons. Cams aren't really necessary on this engine, or boring it out to bigger capacity. The 2.0 block can give you plenty of power as long as you have some other "correct" bits added.

...and then there's actually getting the power to the road and slowing it  :smiley:

well looking at the way hurdy has modded his car, he can afford all the bits required i'm sure  :signLOL:

or some would say, just get a faster standard car to begin with!

VC:
so what your saying is that he needs an .:R32 supercharged to 600bhp?  :grin:
