Hi All,
Been for a drive tonight and a few times the car really surprised me at what it was capable of keeping up with even in only a stage 1 setup.
It got me wondering what exactly would be the absolute most you could get out of one of these engines reliably. I have thought about what there is so far and what could be done to gain more power. Would it ever be possible to make a good reliable 200hp will a good spread of torque?
- Intercooler is a must (As good flow and routing of pipes to increase flow without having to raise pressure to make up for it)
- Better turbo. Possibly a VNT controlled by a stand alone Arduino controller?
- Stainless steel log manifold to allow higher exhaust flow
- Possibly 16v head and pistons? Or a ported out head?
- Stronger con rods?
- Larger injectors with a higher pressure pump?
- Clutch that could handle a full spread of torque and high HP? Possibly a different gearbox to take the power?
I'm just throwing ideas out just wondering what could be possible and how much HP these things could make.
Engine
Block - DW10 block with DW10
Crank - DW10 Crank (Possibly polished, balanced etc)
Rods - DW10 rods? DW10BTED4 (Stronger due to 136hp on siemens setup?)
Pistons - DW10 Pistons
Head - DW10 8v Head with stronger valve springs?
Fuel Delivery
Pump - R70 Fuel pump with fuel pressure sensor and better lift pump
Injectors - Standard Bosch DW10 - Modified nozzles? Angle to suit the 16v head??
Air Intake
Turbo - VNT Turbo Setup controlled by the ECU (What would be a good turbo for this use)
Intake - Big cone filter with shortest possible run to intake of turbo (MAF Sensor mounted midpoint for less turbulence. MAF Needed?)
Intercooler - Large single pass intercooler with 2.5" pipework. Shortest route possible. No pieces of thin stock pipework that would limit flow.
Exhaust
Manifold - Custom made log manifold or gearbox mounted manifold set-up. Long thinner pipes into a collector or large log style?
General Pipe - 2.5/3" Straight through / Single silencer setup. Don't want stupidly loud haha.
