BWA 370bhp+ What is needed?
« on: January 31, 2012, 11:00:00 am »
I would like to push my BWA engine a little harder,  What would be needed?  rods and both cams or just one?  anything else?

Or i put an s3 engine in.....  can’t decide? :chicken:

S3 or ED30 engine would be the way to go and probably cheaper in the long run.

Perhaps more cost effective to use a stage 2+ Cupra / S3/ ed30 engine

you could sell me your KO4 and associated parts from your BWA to assist in financing your big BHP new engine.

Looking forward to seeing the car at JKM

The R-Tech lads have a K04 equipped BWA pushing out 370bhp - they recon the engine does it no problems!

just picked up a golf r engine for 1.4k  (CDL engine 11k on the clock) With gearbox.
Does anyone know if that will work with a S3 ecu?

Hi James, there will be some slight variances with the wiring and coding but it can be done. It also depends on the year of your s3, what year is it? Where did you get the engine from? Possible change of the engine loom aswell.

i have got a mk5 GTI with a BWA(with ko4) engine.      I brought a S3 ecu from ebay as i was going to install a BHZ engine.

I wentt down the local scrappy and they offerd me this engine for 1.4k with gearbox but with no loom or ecu.

The engine was from a Golf R20

can i use my BWA loom?
