Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 20, 2005 Blimey...a 550bhp Golf! Dahlback Racing's MK4 is the most spectacular one I've ever seen though, makes that one look tame! It had a complete 20V UR Quattro engine and 4x4 system grafted in (No wimpy Haldex's here I thank you very much!) :shock: Oh and a paltry 900bhp (on racing fuel, 800 on pump fuel) horse to go with it :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Think Dalbach should be entering this.... http://www.kingofeurope.net 1350bhp RS4 anyone???? If you have 4wd then unless you have 500+ bhp don't bother entering!! Also there is a french 600bhp Corrado VR6 Turbo syncro entering, who says Haldex is better than syncro's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't recommend forged pistons as they lead to increased oil usage. Better to keep it simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The conrods would need to be offset bushed then as there's no way I'd entertain a thick head gasket! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted March 14, 2005 I saw this offset bushed business in a 2.0l 16v turbo conversion. How does that work then? Is it an expensive thing to do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
