How much power?

[Rob-16v]

If my engine was suddenly pushing 200bhp, what do i need to do to stop it blowing up, do i change the con rod bolts? or do i have to change con rods or even more?

ARP Rod bolts will strengthen the bottom end when revving harder...

What have you done to get 200 bhp?

I havent done anything yet, its that all i neet to do?

[SRimon]

lol no

But to get 200 bhp, from what i can see from you're avatar? is a 1.6 16v?

It'll need fairly heavy internal work anyway, so whilst the engines in bits might be an idea to consider up grading the internals a bit further...

[Rob-16v]

supercharcher and a few other things, but its jst the bottom end i want to be stronger.

to get 200bhp you want to be looking at some funky cams a bit of nice headwork some sexy throttle bodies and a very nice ECU which maps all the power along with your bottom end work....... that will send you in the right direction towards your target figure.

a superchip and bottom end strenghtening wont get you that far without looking at some of the above.....

see chris tunnicliffes spec for what i class as "the bare minimum" to hit 200bhp... it was on twin 45 carbs an ign only management when it did 200 but the engine itself was the same.

[Will]

and his was a 2.0 not a 1.6...... so even more work

[Stuart]

in that case investigate declan burkes 1.6 lol

[Rob-16v]

sorry, guys, im not asking how to get 200bhp, im asking how to strenghten the bottom end to take 200 bhp? (declan burkes 1.6- whos this?)
