More Horsepower! Can it handle it??

Featured Replies

Once again, the questions starts to come.:)

I'm very in to upgrade my VRS with a turbo kit and all those other thing that come with it, as injectors, gaskets, manifolds, exauths, intercooler, etc...

My doubt is if the motor stock internals (i can remember you you say it in English:rofl::rofl:) can handle much horsepower as 300hp-350hp or if i need to improve anything

Thanks, once again!;)

300bhp would probably be ok, upto about 340bhp and you'd be pushing things a bit but its been done safely before on loads of cars. You'll definatley want to think about stronger internals if you want to achieve a reliable 340+bhp.

The internals are fine for 300bhp but you want to look at other things first like suspension,gearbox and the brakes.

A few have gone for a BT conversion but there is always more to it than the engine

internals are fine for 400+ on a FWD as long as your not constantly abusing it :D

on a 4x4 you don't really want to be going far beyond 330 on standard internals, far more stress on a 4x4.

What's a BT conversion??

Yes, i have i consideration improvements at suspensions, brakes, gearboxe, struts braces, air intakes, probably 18"...

My doubt was especificaly at the engine, because i'm not like to want to open the engine to improve the internal...Probably 300bhp, 320bhp will be enought at the time...

Changing the engine is much expensive, and i'm not thinking for drag races so...300bhp or 320bhp will be enought, right? :rofl:

BT = Big Turbo

BT.. Big Turbo (?), IHI, GT28, GT30 etc (beaten to it.. as above)

320bhp will be enough until you want 350bhp... and then 400bhp. Its a slippery slope once you start!!

I was thinking for the GT28...

Yeah, you right, we will never get enough...it's like an addiction!It's like model, o themselfes, they're always fat!:rofl: But NO!! :D Only to 320bhp!!it's enough...

I am surprised to see that nearly doubling the cars standard power doesn’t need any internal modifications. Nice one Skoda:thumbup:

Anything above 320bhp and you will start destroying the gearbox on a FWD, i have a Gt2871rs fitted and boy does she go:D 6 speed box with Quaiffe keep it all in check.

Defo; get the internals done as above 340bhp, things "may" start to go wrong:confused:

HTH

I will try to keep it for the 300bhp +/-...I guess...it's a wise decision! ;) And, it's quite fast also!!
