GReddy Kit + D16Y1 SOHC VTec E-manage Untuned = 97.5WKW Not Bad!!

lol I buy everything from the US

What do you think the bottom end kit?

Stay stock man. Stock, keep the tune updated and u will be safe for years to come. FJT is a pourto rican who has been flogging of these cheap kits for a few years now. Generally they are regconised as very good value for money, but its not a traditional build. Execpt any engine builders to scoff at the parts and tell u everything is clearenced wrong.. But the general consensious is it works.

My advice though is stay stock. Builder only if u need too.

How about just upgradint the con rods from the sump?

This is main problems with boosted D's yeah?

Thanks bro

Dont bother man. Ur turbo kit is the weak link. Ur kit cant make enough power to wreck ur engine.

If u want more power, ull need a bigger turbo, then a manifold for the turbo, then exhaust fixed to position, charge pipes redone in position, retune (and possibly new computer [emanage only can to 150% stock fuel injectors i think]), waterlines hooked up. Thats just off the top of my head, theres a few thousand there.

So, if ur gonna do all that, then by all means do ur bottom end

Hey Alex

There's a lot of guys in the US running this kit at 14-15psi that have just changed the con rod bolts and bearings, maybe oil pump is stop the bearings seizing due to oil starvation

You don't think is worth is for the extra 4 or 5 psi?

Cheers

People run 1bar on stock internals. Upgrading rod bolts will do nothing, they are not the weak link. Same with bearings. THe weak link is the con-rod thickness. Overpowering them will bend them. What numbers are overpowering them?? The general concensious not to go any futher then 150-160kW on a stock bottom.

Cool

upgrading just the con rods and bearing would yield good power gains then if it can be done from the sump and not having to remover the head again?

No on both cases. YOu need to pull the change the rods.

Like i told u. Run 14-15 psi on stock internals. But i have the compressor map for the td04h and 14psi is right on the edge of 70% run more and it drops significantly to like off the map. U can max out the turbo with stock internals.

Here, you can work it out.






John, why dont ppl listen?

Thanks Alex but I've already got the flow map lol

I don't mind buying a bigger turbo and better manifold down the track.

I'm just throwing ideas out there...

Want'n more is human nature and hard to avoid
