Im reading on Scoobynet that the Vf22 with p20 housing can produce 400bhp surely thats a complete lair....

Yep. No way its going to get that power. Maybe on an extremely happy dyno. Even a real 350bhp+ would be a struggle imo and the bearings would soon die or it would warp something.

yeah it did jamie and was defo around 280bhp just by the cars that i was beating..

So my rods on my Ibiza cupra engine AQX are defo 20mm wrist pins..correct

You couldnt beat me :lol: maybe if the the road was longer you would of done!

I dunno i dont think it was 280 all of the time to be honest as it never seemed to run 100% right all time you had it, there was the odd time but the majority of the time other stuff just broke and stopped it running right

beating:rolleyes:

comparing apples for pears their mate....that I would say is not an accurate indication

Curzon how can u say you won me lol....I was all over you once i got traction lol...Dont forget urs has a diff so helped wonders of the line...
And wen u beat me was due to my wot Box...I was all over u that time it was me,u and that 600cc Ninja...

I know for sure it was running right as it was leavinh st2 lcrs,R32s and keeping up with Rs4 ect...so it was Nippy...
But i douldnt explain the Cfs...But it wasnt holding back...

Anyway..

the Ibiza has 20mm wrist pins dosnt it as ive just bought a set of INA and want to make sure there the correct size before he sends them out...He´s doing me a deal on some 440cc injectors too..

were can i get a VEM setup from and What size Tensile Studs and bolts do i need for the IHI turbo plus should i run a turbo to manifold gasket or not bother_

He's on holiday at the min so i think its just sat on his drive turbo less and then he'll be fitting his new one when he gets back i assume

Yup im in alcudia at the moment..spoke to my mum before and fair few parts have arrived but can´t do nowt till i get back..

Yeah its sat on the drive turbo less....I just need to source some 440cc Injectors,Dp & water and Oil lines then i can start it..

Issam said my rods will take around a week to arrive so thats them sorted...Then il go to seat and get all the bits needed for my bottom end....

Then will look in to reconing my Cylinder Head...

Il be happy with around 320-330bhp And simular amount of torque

EDIT

Just a small update

These are the bits that ive paid for and waiting to arrive..

IHI vf23 p20 turbo
New IHI Tig-art manifold
New Bosch Blue Top 470cc Injectors at 3bar
New Walbro Inline Fuel Pump
New INA connecting rods
New Vems Afr & EGT gauge Setup

Which has come to 941 quid all in...The Bits i have left to get are Downpipe,Water and Coolant lines & Custom Map...

Once i get back ive got a list of things at home to get from seat for my Bottom End rebuild and gonna see how much a Fully recon 20v Cylinder Head will be...


Also how Simple is Clocking....I Seen HTC has done it so that will be another thing to look in too

why invest so much money into buying lots of new things, for the whole design to be floored by a 2nd hand turbo? :confused:
