suprafan72 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 .... with the right tune obviously... There are so many story's flying arround on how much power a stock bottom end would take reliably..... Does anyone have any first hand experience of how much a good healthy one would take???

Pete Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It's not so much how much it'll take, but how long it'll take it for. Also the condition - are we talking brand new bottom end or a 14 year old 100,000 miler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yup. MK4Life on Supraforums had circa 1000bhp+ on a stock bottom end... and was claimed as a world record. But how often it ran at anywhere near that stress on the engine is another question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 i ran 700hp for 2 years , but that was from thor dyno , so that would be around 550hp then.....its all down to how you abuse the car, regular oil change ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
