450hp "(NOT)enough power" project

[aronmatic2]

I like the look of them brakes, how easy is it to make the brackets/make fit? is there any hard to do custom parts?

And any idea what size rims are needed to clear them?

the brackets are not difficult to make. i can give you the measurement.
i have 18 rims, maybe 17, but not sure.

Very cool project, kind of like I want mine to be and its nearly there, just need a few more HP but loads of bottom end, I was thinking of swapping out my RS2 turbo for a 3071, but maybe a 2876 is a better idea? I used to love the way the K24 spun up at 2k

Hmmm

If you decide on an upgrade would be up for your RS2 turbo my man. Thanks J

Looking good Aron. Nice to see the car coming complete. I am looking forward to the tuning session results

[aronmatic2]

the engine started finaly. no oil, or water leak.
the car needs a big clean up inside and the engine bay.
the painter guy left a big mess in it.

thanks to s2forum, for a lot of help.

aron,would you think that the air filter would be better off with some kind of shielding?i know it is spot on to where it should be to get clean air,but im just thinking...

[aronmatic2]

i dont know. there is free space for fresh air, between the headlight and oil cooler.
if i go atleast 50km/h. you can count how much fresh air chaning on those space,under the hood and you can mesure, how much air needs for the engine.
i allways measuring intake temperature, without heat shild. its allways normal.
if i stay in heavy traffic, its can be hot. i logging the races on 400m and trackdays and never had hot intake temperature.

I know that this is a street car but anyway:

What times do you expect to run on 402 with this setup?

[aronmatic2]

i estimate 11.2@203 on 2,2 bar boost, 35% throttle als and 0,5 bar launch control.
of corse with slicks

Congratulations. Waiting to see some dyno results once the first kilometers are done.
Cheers, Javier.
