B5VWC 0 Posted August 3, 2009 430 horses running on 5.5 cylinders :shock: 430 horses running on an engine with 125k on it :shock: 430 horses running standard internals :shock: Fair play that's a bit of a beast! 8) You planning to increase the power, now you have a spangly new engine with forged internals?? yeah it was shocking - good news your car managed 430hp but now the bad news is you now have piston wear but thats how it goes at that sort of power it will find the weakest point right now im just happy its running and i can drive it, will see how it runs and change it later its easy to swap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emkayvr6 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Hi bobby, thanks for the rear beam, would have loved to have stayed a bit longer and had a good chat and look over your car but time was tight still had stuff to load up for mallory tomorrow. Have just read over your thread and i'm even more impressed now with the true extent of the work gone into your car, would def like to have a proper look over it another day and hear the beast. take it easy cheers mart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted August 5, 2009 thats an awesome setup you have there, why bother with 24 valves when you can get that sort of results with the original 12 eh? question: and i suppose this goes for all supercharged VRs - do you worry about water ingress into your engine with the air filter set so low in the wheel arch? with the weather we are having lately there are some big puddles about that could possibly be disasterous? I have a VF charger setup for mine, and will end up with the filter in the same position, but i am not sure i am entirely happy about that! just a thought.

_leon_ 0 Posted August 5, 2009 if you use the undertrays for the wings - they stay covered - so not a worry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted August 5, 2009 reason i ask is one of the cars at work (07 vw passat) gave up its life when water entered the engine. saying that the stupid tw4t did attempt to drive through a frickin mini lake though lol those undertrays wont do nothing to stop a high water level, they will stops splashes at best, but clearly it isnt an issue.

I have a VF charger setup for mine, and will end up with the filter in the same position, but i am not sure i am entirely happy about that! just a thought. yeah thats right the 24v flows better and has better management but getting one fitted and fully running is not that straightforward plus it will still cost just as much to run when it comes to parts & fuel love the sound of mine not whiney like vortechs but you know it has some power on throttle just cant break 4k yet not had much problem with rain, its not a daily like some of the guys on here so im lucky - but i know what you mean - I will just use mine on dry days if i can Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
