Post by: RERX7 on September 03, 2010, 02:20:19 AM
Hi guys, i\'m going to get my engine rebuild, i\'m planning to keep it as the stock twin and will it be able to archive about 380 bhp?

not sure what a master rebuild kit is. But untill you strip down the engine you wont know what needs replacing. All seals should come in the kit which you should definitely use. But you may also need rotors, rotor housings, end plates etc etc. depends how the engine died

I think you\'d be getting near to the record for power on early spec stock twins if you want 380hp, it\'s going to put a lot of strain on the blowers, that kind of power will really need aftermarket twins or a single turbo ideally.

For that power, OEM ar Atkins 2mm tips will be fine, bear in mind if you get 3mm ones you will need your rotors machined out to accept them...more cost!

Do you have an Apexi ECU ? do you have an uprated intercooler?, bigger pump? decat pipe? exhaust?
If yes to all this then approx 270rwp/340-360 fly at 11 psi boost
