Engine Question?

[fai17]

well Jamis if you go past 350bhp you will need a dogbox arrangment or a newage 6 speed box.

if you get the newage 6 speeder you will need the front and rear diff and also the drive shafts too..iirc.

DOGBOX for over 350bhp - Not exactly! its not bhp that kills boxes, it's torque for a start! I have a long list of people that would completely disagree with your statement.

and I thought a man of your experience would know the front diff IS ALREADY IN THE GEARBOX

It's a bit of tongue and cheek Russell All iam trying to say is, if i was going for big power i wouldn't go near a standard 2.5L.

As you say, it's only good for 380/380 ish and max 1.5 bar of boost because of the soft ( chocolate bit ) pistons.

A standard newage 2.0L STI has forged pistons as standard and can run more bhp and boost ( more chocolate )

To get a big bhp 2.5L engine you will have to open it up and fit rods/ pistons and liner it so why not start with CDB.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but what newages have forge pistons then? is it all newage sti's that are 2.0l?
