s2 project how much bhp???

[steve1234]

i have been aquiring rs2 parts which include k24 7200 turbo, rs2 intercooler, rs2 inlet manifold, 034 motorsport exhaust manifold, rs2 injectors, new fuel pump. How much bhp realistically would i get out of the engine safely without changing internal components????

350-360 bhp this is assuming you've addressed the exhaust system.

You'll have to run maybe 1.6-1.7 bar to limit torque on standard rods.

The RS2 turbo is the weak link in that chain. Could still get you 380bhp with the right mapping. Another turbo, such as the 3071 would very likely get you 420+ with the other bits that you have!

have a quick search , there's a plethora of info regarding rs2 upgrade options. pricing performance, limitations etc, 380/390 then you'll have to buy a few more internal bits before the torque bends the internals

cheers jamo

hey were you at castle combe???? have you got a green s2 mate whats your car putting out at the moment????

[ericd]

check the internals of your 7200 and make sure it's got a 360 degree TB,the std RS2
unit comes witha 270 degree TB

You wont be able to run at 380-390 bhp on standard rods the torque generated would bend them look at posts by steveH

On standard rods the torque has to be limited on the setup which gives you 350-360.

This has been backed up with dyno runs of cars such as S2avant and Robo's old car when Sal dynoed it

You can run at the bhp for sure but would you want too risk it is another question.

Behold the power of the RS2 turbo on standard rods.......

That pic takes me back a few years, I still have one rod on the shelf as an ornament!
I think we hit 2.2 Bar with the RS2 turbo when it went bang, the torque was awesome, but the standard rods didn't like it!
