Hey everyone!
I have always been into modifying my cars to get what is phisically possible out of them and i need some input... i am fairly new to the audi world and don't know exacly how this baby is built.i am intrested in knowing how much horsepower and boost the stock internals can hold (1.8T) and what types ofRPM we can rev to...any input on related subjects, personal experiences, andtesting would be very helpfull.

if your not breaking anything, your not going fast enough! -jet

 

boost about 30 psi on stock internals

horsepower... 400 perhaps on stock internals

revs... keep the revs down.. its not a honda

 

thought i'd add.... this is the 2001 (170hp) 1.8T motor

 

Closer to 350. Jeff dyno'd 337 awhp. Most people that get numbers that high usually end up with a rod or 2 through the block.

 

its wise to upgrade internals whenever you go above 300hp from what i know. With BT tuning the rev limiter is raised to 7k in most cases.

 

i have a BT set up i just bought pistons and rods to change some of my internals bc i have too much power

 

awww poor baby [&o] ........"too much power"

 

FYI all the b5 series i kno form my knowledge has FORGed internals, and are pretty solid engines...Id say you can do 400.. just keep it cool. If you kno what i mean. REAL COOL.

 

No, dont go 400hp on stock internals, thats like engine suicide.

 

at what point would u change manifold BT?
