Adran Member 38 Member For: 11y 1m 28d Posted 21/01/14 11:02 AM Share Posted 21/01/14 11:02 AM Hi all... I have read most modification threads but what I want to know is how much power can the BA engine and transmission run daily safely before a rebuild on either components and how much it will cost... I am chasing 300rwkw running abt 15 psi boost max... Anyone got their story to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt036 Donating Members 280 Member For: 14y 10m 17d Gender: Male Posted 22/01/14 10:21 PM Share Posted 22/01/14 10:21 PM Mines making 570hp atw on a stock engine and 6 speed manual. Although by all means I wouldnt call it safe though, I just pushed its limits and so far still going. I did do it on e85 though to try and give it a fighting chance. Personally it comes down to the tune, ive heard of some blowing up with no more than 300kw and have heard of others with 330kw running for years. But as was already said, you play you'll eventually pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
