Ok so I lost my original engine to a tuning accident. TDI built another engine but then I lost the blower! So with a new Vortech blower installed I went to Brands Hatch and the ten grand TODA engine TDI made went clunk and died!

So my cars going back to stock with a new engine soon but I am thinking its going to feel a bit weak stock. Maybe I should put the blower back on? Try and get the TODA engine fixed and go turbo?
Or maybe I was thinking to change the intake, stick this decat and spoon manifold I have here on and get an NA tune with the AEM in?
Or maybe I should just stay stock?!

 

Such bad luck

I'm happy with stock, but go with whatever makes you happy.

buy a different car?

 

If you want a car to use on the track then NA is the way forward ........

Stick with the TODA engine, upgrade the suspension and lose a bit of weight.

 

Third time lucky on the engine

 

I'd stick to NA with the luck you've had , Or can your pocket potentially take another engine failure? I would love to have a supercharged S but to spend 4K on a blower setup then have my engine go pop, I couldn't take it.

good luck anyway

 

If you really want to track the car, spend the money on some reasonable NA mods (nothing too drastic) but loose 400 lbs off the car some how. Your goal: 2400 lbs or less and 260 NA power, 180 lb/ft. Then see how many things can still beat you in the track, included blown S2000s.

Otherwise, by an Evo and hope it could last more than 10 continuous laps if modded.

 

Why did the toda engine fail?

 

Following your previous advice, I have been very cautious but I have chosen the right people and Mase to tune my Vortech S2k.....touch wood, It has been running for 4 months now with average of 40 miles per day....no probs!! And I am still laughing!!!

Try again if u really missed it, In terms of performance, NI does not come close to forced induction power!!!
