How much will a AGU take?

[tom-gardiner]

How much power will the standard internals on an AGU take roughly?

Thanks guys

It's torque you should be worrying about, not bhp. I wouldn't want to be running any more than 300lb/ft on standard internals....rods will be bent going much higher than that.

stage 2 will be fine then even with a ko3s?

Yeah, should be fine

[dan2252]

the experts say 300bhp so stage 2 will be fine!

mine was runnin 309! no probs! standerd internals, and that was., stage 3?

350lbs of torque Iv been told is pushing ur luck.

All depends how healthy your engine is

You can't just say a figure

even 300lbft is pushing your luck. Remember these engines are getting old now!

As said, it's torque not power that kills rods, so map accordingly.

I currently have a ko4 hybrid capable of 340bhp / 300lbft, but it's mapped very safely making 300bhp, with only about 260lbft, which it holds right across the rev range. Feels incredible to drive, and the power just keeps on coming and never stops, but it's low torque, and rod safe.

People have bent rods just at Revo st1 on ko4 cars....
