Title: 20vt Advice which direction?
Post by: higgins on 02 September 2012, 01:06

This is my engine bay:
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s273/fatpleb/7f28547b.jpg)

Spec:
AUM 180bhp 20vt

Im knowledge of the 20vt engines isnt very good as yet as ive came from the darkside (Diesel).

I just have a few questions about which direction should i go:


I have been looking at doing a k04 upgrade but i see gt28's and gt30's. What is the difference in power and what modification should i do to support these? Also i am currently running a 'rod box' so should i upgrade this to a 20vt gearbox? What would you recommend me to do?

AUM are all 150bhp buddy.

Depends what sort of power your looking for?
You have a K03s and tipically stage 2 k03s with every mod thrown at it would see around 240bhp 270lbs+

Or you could go K04 and relentless manifold and alot of supporting mods will get you 300bhp 270lbs+

Or even bigger power would need big turbo but youl need engine internal upgrades as youl be throwing rods out left right and centre lol  :grin:

Good luck and welcome to the forum

IN a mk2?

AS jamie said.  Personally id go stage 2 k03s.  far better power band/delivery than k04.
