iddysti hows the car doing running that sort of power mate? you just keep on top of it making sure its running sweet all the time or you holding out for the nxt thing to change or mod?......ive kinda been thinking of a safe 450bhp id like 500bhp but it brings trouble

450/450's a easier safer figure to get to, but BHP is fk all without torque its the torque ya need to look at, ya can get a car with 300-350bhp but putting out 450+ lbft or a car with 500bhp/400lbft the first will be alot wilder/quicker not the higher bhp

yeh my torgue figure is pretty good at the mo....i could just max the turbo out that ive got on with a few other mods, thats sure to push that up yeh...

Who is doing your maps

andy forrest does my mapping mate

Good choice that's we're am going next

i do believe hes back down this way nxt month, am sure gipa is sorting a mapping sesh out get your name down on that if you havent allready fella

mine is running brillant at the minute, its used ever day and has now down nearly 8000 miles since the last rebuild which was down to a broken oil pick up pipe. 450 is relativly easy to run safely these days with the turbos available, going over 500 is where it does start to get expensive.

From my experience build a really strong bottom end and work from there. Mr. Kindon did mine and now I think I have a very strong engine which would cope with over 600hp with all the extra little bits that have been added.

But its like Drew said its not really the bhp its the torque and thats where my car really punches you in the back when you floor it

ive had my bottem end built from the scooby clinic but andy does all my work now, still running a tmic and thats wot we got out of it when we mapped it up on a 20g turbo and 650cc injectors.........your car sounds gd mate will it hold out i guess only time will tell tho yeh.......545lbft ffs id like to feel that on the roads

My car has been running over 500hp for over 4 years now, the two engine builds I have had, since the original was down to a £28 part failing and a bad bit of advice from a so called expert.

There are bottom end rebuilds and proper rebuilds. If you speak to Andy about what mine has had done the last time just so I had piece of mind.

O ringed heads, bore strengtheners, 14mm head studs, etc. If you have a look here

this is what I should of done in the first place.

iddy now that made for good reading mate alot to think about and chat to andy about, cheers marra
