I swear ive read hundreds of threads with people having over 300rwkw on standard engines with upgraded valve spring?? why would mine be unrealistic.are you thinking more like 310 - 320 would be realistic or like 280???

You have all the supporting mods to keep it safe. That's with a t56 not your 5 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartman Member 88 Member For: 15y 6m Posted 01/12/10 09:13 AM Share Posted 01/12/10 09:13 AM (edited) I think you are being very unrealistic at that rwkw your rods will probably fail. If your tuner is fool enough to put that much power thru your current configuration , I guarantee it wont leave the dyno without at least either engine or gearbox failure.I have one out there making those numbers on a stock BA 5 spd, the engine has been OK but gearboxes and clutches not so good. The gearbox failures tend to occur on the road not the dyno as on the dyno we are not going through gears under load and we can use the strongest gear, 4th, for tuning, you will likely break 2nd or 3rd.The issue is at that power the tuning takes time and care, any amount of knock and you may have a big issue. I have seen FG XR6 springs float at 15 psi, for interest sake PAC valvesprings have about 10 pounds more seat and open pressure than FG XR6. Go for efficiency not boost. A good intercooler will allow more timing and more power at lower boost levels, more timing means cooler EGT's, better for the life of the turbo.

But with the money your thinking of spending you should consider selling your car an upgrading to an late 06 BF turbo or F6 and then start modding. There is a guy "slash " on the forum who did exactly what you are contemplating doing. Maybe PM him and he will explain the pitfalls. But in the end its your car and you can do what you want. I think maybe "Adrian6T" may have started with a ba 5 speed as well maybe PM him. Edited 01/12/10 09:37 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
