Power Levels And Reliability?xr6t/typhoon..

[useless]

The more I visit this site..the more I think of getting into something faster. I have a question on my mind..how much power can a stocker get while being reliable ? Also what mods are required to make them stronger after the max stock power levels?

BF mk2 onwards and all f6 models are safe for around 400rwkw. I would not push a ba or f past 330. Still its unpredictable, a car can blow up on stock power levels depending on the tune. There are ba turbos making 380 plus rwkw. The first thing in the engine you would replace is the conrods. It just depends on how much power you want, how reliable you want your car to be and how much you want to spend.

also depends on what gearbox you have

the 4 speed auto and 5 speed manual cant handle vast ammounts of power/torque

Going by worst case scenario, Valve springs, cluches, squirters and IC,s around 250 to 270 rwkw, T5 gearbox not much above that. pusshing into the 300 rwkw area, fuel pumps, hot side and cold side, actuators, exhaust, and rods depending on tune. my knowledge does not take me past this.

Do the typhoons need better valve springs for increased power at say 350+ rwkws?

Over 350rwkw will need a lot more than valve springs.

This is about the limit you would take a stock motor, and start to look at better rods.

With the question on how much power a stock car will take is all relative to your driving. Stock power will break parts if abused, yet a 500+rwkw car can last 100,000km if driven like a granny. Anything over 350rwkw is going to start to cost more and more to keep reliable.
