Give me some thoughts on this.

Thanks, T.
Hey T just race the guy or compare times. I think people don't know what they are talking about when they shout dyno results. I'm sure he might be making 315 but that could have been from an aggressive tune. My buddy's STI was tuned to make 362whp on 91 but then was brought down to 340 to save the motor. Does that mean he can claim 362? BTW how's that elbow working?

The answer is:


More than the tranny will be comfortable with...

and the stock motor can burn valves without mods, so another answer would be <227

what you get will depend on who does the work and how much money you spend, how reliable it will be is anybodies guess.

I was going to ask the same question ... I might as well add it here even though it's a 9 years old thread!

Any 500 whp ... EJ205 with stock internals! If not, what breaks?

I have a budget of $5000 () and my goal is to make 500 whp!

I will tear apart my first EJ205 in two weeks and I will see first hand but I would like some information before hand.

The crank appears to be a very weak point because of the thin counter weights base on the pictures I see.

I've seen a few pictures of crack blocks but how common is that?

"Jdm transmission" is this a STi 6 speed or the hard to find flappy paddle 4EAT? What kind of gas are you going to get tuned for? Intake or upgraded inner-cooler? What turbo is on the car?
