I would like to do a 1.8T 20v with GT34 Turbo 770cc+ injectors with fuel pump and reg to match forged oversized pistons, steel rods, solid lifters, oversized valves, bronze guides  high profile cam, custom inlet and custom 4 branch manifold, 9ltr FMIC, OMEX ecu managemt. This should be good for 450+bhp hopfully,  then if money aint a question I would fit 150bhp wet nos with progresive controller. so it is drivable as a road car with the omex set to a base map, but for fun switch to the race map and turn the nos on.   Then glentch me cheeks.................................>

I would love to have a million quid and a 1.8t turbo to play with. :grin:


Summat like my mates astra at Blueprint Hinckley who built my calibra engine for me.
This astra 4 door mk2 is running around 450 - 490bhp. they are wanting to get it on the rollers soon to finish the map off and get a final dyno graph ready for PVS2008 at pod.
 They are building a big bhp Seat leon 225bhp with the same set up as the astra below.  they are aiming for 450bhp+

Over 10 years to build this monster and get it to the stage it is at, that 1000s of hour with over £20k spent on R&D trial and error. It in the total vauxhall mag this month.

Would the engine out of the new audi RS4 fit in the engine bay?? 400+ bhp to start with and V8 power. Bet that would sound nice. :smug:

I dont know about other people, but I have found the engine bay in the MK4 as tight as girl on prom night. You got no room to move about and end up with shreded hands after doing any work in there.

I think the point he was getting as  rheady is how far can you take the 1.8T engine rather than cheating and sticking in another lump.

When I'm a millionaire I'm going to allocate about £100k to a little project and you can all come to my house to help.  The other half will knock up some bacon butties and everything :D
