The stock connecting rods are soft and will bend if you make too much cylinder pressure. The stock pistons are cast aluminum and not forged aluminum and are not as strong.
You can change the connecting rods to these and get these 8.8 to 1 compression ratio forged pistons and you should be able to go to 300whp without any trouble. I'm not sure I understand. Do you want more rpm at 140km/h or less rpm at 140km/h? less rpm, my car top speed now is about 150km/h. if i will start engine rebuild, i want to do it once, that mean i will change what ever needed or not needed :) to be sure..:)) what limit HP for this eninge build? i mean can i make it ready for 400hp ? if i will use NOS in future ? or 300HP is maximum? |

Around 300whp will be the limit for the stock intake manifold, that turbo (GT2560), that iron exhaust manifold, maybe the intercooler, the turbo downpipe, maybe your clutch. You will need a 3 inch diameter exhaust from the turbo outlet all the way out of the back of the car and low restriction muffler. The injectors are good for only 300whp. The 5 speed transmission is only good for about 300whp. If you are looking to lower your engine RPMs, changing from your 4.30 rear gear to a 3.90 gear out of a 1.8 car will help that a lot. See this gearing calculator. |
it so interesting to see such good advice's from you, thanks a lot, your posts are very clearly.
ok that mean i will build engine as for 300HP, what about NOS will it be possible for rebuild ed engine? |
