How much, what to use to get somewhere 350-500bhp?

[Rikki Kitto]

Hey thx, so 12-15k... ok I will wait for the future to get that big upgrade... I guess for now a £1600 rs2 / hybrid setup looks feasable.

im going to go towards rs2 as its stronger than the volvo turbo option.. and the volvo halts at 350bhp... I already have 280-290... 350 isnt such a huge jump.. then I guess i'll look at 380/420bhp.

So will be looking for something like this within the next 6months. (ie i can buy the parts now.. but im also saving for a house... so until I get towards a nice deposit. I'll hold out....
UNless ... hmmmmm .... I could be tempted to get somethign earlier .

I've just gone from 270bhp est to 350,again estimated, and believe me it is a massive difference and worth every penny, around £2000 with parts labour and custom map

Can I install the setup for rs2, but use a bigger turbo? would it still limit it to 350hp? or would it push things higher? I fancy albert's route.. and limiting Nm.. so im getting more bang for buck.
what effect would this have? would parts still work but be limited ?

Or would they simply not work so well and its a case of parts must compliment each other and can only work in situ with each other?

You would need a custom map.

And bigger injectors, RS2 injectors are maxxed on an RS2 turbo.

Yes, you can. On the RS2, the turbo's compressor side is the thing that limits the whole motor. Cams, IC,manifold and afaik injectors (at least with more fuel pressure) are all good for a little more than 400 hp. Custom map, as mentioned by Andy, is necessary.

Sweet!! thx guys.. im shaping the plan now .

I had dyno'd with 2871 on tired AAN bottom end and still holding 500nm crank flawlessly FYI.

[Chris5044]

sorry for asking , but whats "AAN" Bottom end? is this the name for the OEM bottom end?
Also what do you mean by 2871? is that a turbo type?
Im not super clued up with all the jargin sorry :s

[Quattronaut]

2871 is the Garret Gt2871 turbo. That´s one of the most common replacements for the RS2 turbo. Bottom end means the hardware of your motor, specially the rods. He uses stock rods, that´s why he says "AAN bottom end"- not aftermarket upgrade rods. Well- that´s my interpretation ;-)

[Error404]

AAN is the engine code from the 100 S4 / UR S6. Same bottom end as the ABY & RS2

[popdemonic]

Cheers, for interpretation. ;-)
