Tappets (hydraulic lifters)

[barrym381]

Its fairly obvious its pie in the sky stuff, but...

OPs posts on forgetting bigger brakes, and not being able to insure a high powered motor. Probably means this sh!t shouldn't be entertained or encouraged.

Though I must admit I am curoius from a technical point of view what it would take to pull those figures.

Would the haldex even cope with that sort of power?

ask nick at r-tech sure they have a couple of big power mk4 visiting them for a map

Know haldex can handle 400odd-500oddbhp (for how long before it fails in some way I have no idea)


Anything over 500odd if never seen in a mk4.


Also to the op. Enjoy trying to get 6-700bhp from it an 1800cc

Friend of mine has a 1800cc turbo engine car. For him to reach 700 bhp it has been board out to a 2.3 letre garret turbo and around 10+k of other work done to it....

I was looking at a 2.1 stroker kit but I think I might leave it at 500bhp cause some of the fellas on hear had some good points
