Fabia vrs Bhp

Featured Replies

I was just wondering is there any specific Bhp fabia vrs's start getting unreliable because I have seen some which are running 220 Bhp is this a reliable power so it start blowing things ?

Surely the reliability comes down to the quality of the 'bits' you mod with ? Generally cheap parts are cheap for a reason.

Ofcourse, sticking 230bhp through the standard clutch would certainly cause unreliability.

You could add as many performance parts as you link but it all comes down to the kind of map you have. I speak of go faster parts only not suspension mods etc,

I wouldnt expect the clutch to last very long unless of course the power & torque is limited initially.

Yeah, I know that :) because normally with modifying you get to a certain Bhp before having to change things like pistons, cams and so on so I was wondering yes with a uprated clutch and fly wheel is there a Bhp the standard cams, cranks , valves hold ?

Many forum users run between 200 - 235 bhp with very little issues :)

Ok thank you that's why I was looking for :)

The key is supporting the power with uprated components, an engine in standard form with a different turbo will take a lot of power

Yeah I'm looking at one with a hybrid turbo uprated clutch flywheel , he is running 220bhp

With my new turbo I should be running in excess of 300bhp and I am still expecting decent daily driver reliability.... [touch wood]

Generally, until you fully use all the available power, there is no difference between a 130hp vRS and a 300+bhp vRS.

With 300bhp I'm pretty sure you will have to start think about uprated cams, crank, pistons all main engine stuff, I've heard of people running around 200bhp with a solid flywheel snapping his crank shaft :(

Have uprated cam, valves, injectors, rods already, Had no issues whatsoever in the time I've been running 260 to 270bhp for the past couple of years. :thumbup: Cranks are rock solid and should only really break if something catastrophic happens like a failed oil pump, or the servicing is not done right. My oil is changed more regularly than VW/Skoda suggest for this reason.

Making power is simple and easy.

putting it down and keeping it running is another.

Uprated Tyres, brakes, Cooling, Clutch and mounts for the gearbox and engine is a must if your going for 200BHP. end of the day everything was designed to have 130bhp and 300nm and no more to keep costs down and affordability up.

Thats why German companys limit 90% of their cars to 155mph. keeps costs down by not having to make their products excede that speed means they only have to research and design them to that level.

I wouldn't dream of running 250+ without a limited slip diff now. Transforms most cars, but more so when you run big power. I have sorted all mounts, suspension, brakes, cooling, venting, etc. :thumbup:

I thought it was a gentlemans agreement between them and the Green Party?
