Don't forget ARP rod bolts...

 

Any prdeictions on my power output with this setup???


Anybody???

 

Without knowing what boost you are going to run, there is no way to tell. For 10 psi I'll take a wag at 360 whp. I think it will take about 13 -14 psi to break 400.

 

At what point, approximately, are the rods and studs necessary?

 

Everything sounds good! But that front bumper looks like a$$.

 

kane and others say around 400 is where you should replace the rods for safety reasons as well as a few other things: http://www.s2000turbo.com/tech/whentoupgrade.htm

 

I have seen reputable people on this forum frequently state that the stock block is good for ~450whp on a great tune. The F20/F22 comes stock with forged pistons/rods, so it is capable of handling a great deal of power.

 

Yea. You have bad taste too.

 

450whp has been stated as what should be the limit for what the block should be able to handle at a slightly safe region. However, why would you run near the limit of an engine constantly? There should be a sizable margin of safety.

There are people who made well over 500whp on a stock block too.

J, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to help...lol I dunno how many times I e-mailed you the UR instructions that week.

 

aside from doing any research myself (dont have time) id say talk to the manufacturer of your turbo, is it garret? or..... find out where your compressor efficiency is. or lets say where you run out of compressor. then shoot for that. you have the motor to handle it, problem is, too small of turbo, and bad manifold design. im sure you can still get 450 wheel out of it with correct tune, before you run out of turbo. 20 psi or so. dont be skurred. LOL. lates
