Is 400BHP in my P1 to much for every day car?

Hi
In a couple of months i am hoping to get my engine rebiult by Roger Clarke Motorsport(if i can raise the funds)on my P1.I was going for 400BHP.The only thing is how many miles would this engine last as i would use it every day?also any idea on 0-100 times?

What are you doing to get 400bhp!
The only guy i knew on here that went mad had a 350bhp p1 and he said that was enough for a daily driver.
And he done loads and loads to it!

400 bhp from a RCM rebuilt EJ207 is easily attainable given the spec that it will be and VERY reliable. there are several cars running around as daily drivers running much more than that, all rebuilt by RCM. (including my STi5)

400bhp no problem for a daily driver and just as reliable if it is all thought out and done properly. The car needs treating properly. No hard driving on a cold engine. Regular maintainance and oil changes and run off boost for the last couple of miles before shut down. No need to leave it ticking over though.

Yep
Agree with Bob and Harvey
400 bhp - is that all you want?
Very driveable - mine only has about 400bhp but it will have more soon (Has an RCM built engine....... should be good for........hmmmmm 534bhp and 420lbs torque!!!!) as a daily driver..
If you have the money and are thinking about it just do it!!
RCM highly recommended for top quality work..........thats if you can get a booking - they are very, very busy - hmmm wonder why?
and with Bob mapping your sorted
You wont have any regrets - you'll just want more power if you only go for 400bhp - mines an sti5 (similar to P1)
Just do it.............................................
