Big Power build advice
Hi Guys, I currently have a bug wagon running 360bhp. I bought an STI and have put all the toys on the wagon, 6 speed conversion etc etc.
Later this year I am entertaining the idea of going for more power say 500bhp.
Yes I know its a wagon but its something a little different and you don't see many highly modded wagons around.
I am looking for recommendations on which parts to use for the build. E.g would I go for a forged 2.5 or stick with a 2.1 stroker and what make components etc
I would not be building this myself as I do not have the expertise so I am also looking for your recommendations on a reputable engine builder.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Craig

I would stick with the 2.1 and turbo wise you have a few options, my choice would be to go rotated as I prefer the power delivery but standard position turbos will do 500. Engine builder wise there is a few of the usual suspects such as paul finch, engine tuner, SC and so on.
I could write you a full list of parts but your tuner may have different ideas to me

I'm just starting on something very similar, its a 1999 wagon with wide 22b style body kit, 6 speed etc etc. My customer wants high 400's/500. The spec is closed deck 2.5, 14mm studs, avcs heads, supertech valve gear, mated to a S216 from Alan - Enginetuner. Steve Simpson will be fitted the Simtek and mapping it at Group B Motorsport. If my customer is happy to I'll pop a project thread in if anyone is interested?

a specialist local to me saves you loads of money on cosworth gaskets and uses best quality silicone instead most of the cars he has built have ended up in scoobyclinic having the work done properly
find a good tuner with good reviews and speak to them about spec and parts.
If I had to choose, it would be scoobyclinic and mapped by Pat

Hi Craig
If you are already running STI gear,then I would use STI engine for now and add bigger turbo like SC42 or MDX321T and get car mapped,this engine should support this power without the issue if engine has been take care off it
You will love to have in wagon 500bhp,we are run that power and in wagon that power you will definitely feel
And about the what parts used this depends which way you want to go,but I would go with 2.1L,we are run 2.1L and with right turbo you will love 2.1L and spool you will have quite nice,everything depends on turbo used
Reputable engine builder,everyone have own opinion on this and I would personally use Neil@Slowboy racing
If you have more question Craig,you can message me on FB or over here,we are done something similar like you are want to complete
Hope this helps
Thanks,Jura

Jura,just a little out of subject,how did you find the 2.1 compared with the 2.35,obviously the 2.35 is better and is more costly but do you think there is a very noticeable difference in power delivery?

From personal point of view,this depends on mapper and on turbo used..
2.1L is great engine,with right turbo you will love the engine,but just don't forget 2.1L will spool slower bigger turbo than 2.35L,but with right turbo you will love the engine
Power delivery on both has been different,how to say,on 2.1L we are used NOS to get similar spool like we have on 2.35,on 2.1L we are used MDX321T and on 2.35L Scoobyclinic GT30 .63AR,full boost(1.7bar) on 2.1L we are hit at 4500RPM,on 2.35L we are got full boost(2.0bar) somewhere around 3600-3800RPM,power delivery on 2.35L has been just awesome,off throttle or on throttle,response has been almost instant,very similar when we are run NOS on 2.1L
Hope this helps
Thanks,Jura
