SV: Want to take 4KCSQ to 300HP Need guidance

[Jörgen Karlsson]

Hi,

You don't need a 20vt to make 300hp but it's harder with the 10vt. A 20vt
head will not work, as a minimum you need new pistons that suit the 20vt
head. I don't think that you have the oil squirters in the 10v na engine
either.

Since you have built exhaust manifolds earlier you can use the 10vt(MC1 and
MC2 engines found in 5000TQ). You just need to throw away the stock manifold
and turbo and replace it with a large modern aftermarket turbo. It seems
like the closer you are to 4k when you see boost the better the performance
will be.

You need a good intercooler too, the units used with the mc engines isn't
very impressive.

A 20vt engine will also benefit from a custom exhaust manifold and a larger
turbo.

The old 5 cylinder bottom ends is very strong and the gearboxes too. Your
stock clutch can't be used, it's much to weak.

Or you fit an ABZ V8 from Audi A8 as I did. 300hp and 0-60mhp in the 4.5s
range even if lots of time is lost doing the 2nd-3rd shift at 50mph. A six
speed would allow be to shift to third after hitting 60mph, I guess that sub
4 seconds would be fairly simple. www7.brinkster.com/jurgmannen/start.asp

A mild turbo setup on the V8 should be possible without opening the enigne.
I think that it's a good idea to size the turbine/turbines really big to
allow the engine to breathe freely and to let boost come in after 4000rpm to
flatten the torque curve. The engine will not detonate as easily on high rpm
and the transmission will tolerate much more power at high rpm.
