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!

 

I was going for a complete engine rebiuld ,something like gadget daz engine

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)

cheers

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.

 

Thanks for the info, I guess Roger Clarke is the best bet for the engine

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.............................................
