Whats needed for a bwa to handle 400-420bhp and 400 ft lbs ?
Is it like the old 1.8t platforms just a matter of conrods or are the pistons also a weak point ?
Trying to work out if its more cost effective to buy a cdla engine but there hard to source  :confused:

xjay1337:
Usual stage 2 + mods and a k400 bbt hybrid

aarondsg:
i diddnt think bwa engine was strong enough for that ?
i have complete stage 3 on stock k04
niki usually caps the torque this one was stopped at 384 ft lbs

Sug:
Injectors and lpfp

You are right.

You could run it for a while before it goes bang, but not recommended.

Rods are the weak point.
