Evo 6 stage one what next ?

[dan87]

So far got full system air filter boost solenoid and walbro pump came out at 340bhp 370 ftlb it came out a lil low as actuator was weak so next is to get a new one I'm going for hard pipe kit and cams but someone told me 246 cams or something and fq performance recommend 272 I think I just want more power through out the revs what can I so next I wanna be close to 400 bhp ?

370ftlb ??? what boost you running?

264 cams you wont need to change springs, 272 cams dependent on the lift then you'll need uprated springs.

 

[dan87]

Not sure tbh they said my torque is good by the looks of the graph it's just over 1.5 maybe 1.6 bar

 

[dan87]

 

[RsvRob]

Despite the graph - I'd say you've got the figures the wrong way round. If your getting 370ftlb then your bhp should be alot higher

 

[Simon@NTS]

264 cams next

 

[dan87]

No it is right but something happened to actuator it was leaking when it when up to 358 bhp :/ so getting a new one and where is best to get 264 cams ?

 

[DDS789]

Surely You'll be pushing the internals big time going for 400?

Rod job would be my next move and I'm running 370-380bhp.

Before getting anymore power hungry and figure hunting matey get the rods done or if budget allows you get a Fully forged engine build!

I learned that mistake the hard way!

I could do but fq performance stage 4 you don't need rod job that 400bhp and they say on there site about how they don't push the cars etc and keep them safe.

 

[RsvRob]

Fq performance in Buckinghamshire!?

I'm sure it says capable of 400bhp. As all companies sell there products at maximum results achievable. All cars are different and will give different results.
Check the link in my sig...

Alarm bell's ringing yet again:shock: If i was you walk away while the engine is still intact!

Cams and turbo make it more than capable of 400+
But no need if you want near to 400...

Note- stage 1+2+3 required for 4...

 

[dan87]

I currently have stage 3 but with dyno tech not fq performance mine 340 not 380 :/

They also basically state, in a very long paragraph, how they aren't responsible if the engine lets go.

Do some research there's loads of info on going for 400bhp in the 5's and 6's and how it isn't advisable.

I'd get all the niggles sorted now and aim for a "safer" 360-380bhp at 1.6-1.7bar and see how you feel with that.

Ultimately it's cheaper and if you aren't happy then the big spend can be on a rod job etc and a bigger turbo and push so etching like 450 :twisted:

There you go here is the proof when you shove to much through standard VI Internal's:arms:

Also seen Si's, errrrr.......... Rod errrrr ........ Too

The one from the knackered engine in his Mak that is

 

[B6lee]

nobody wants a bent rod now do they
