How deep are your pockets???? Thats what it come's down too!!

Had a friend who was running 500bhp in a UK turbo 2000 and have heard people with more, but your talking £15k+ Forged engine, 6 speed newage gearbox, Big turbo, injectors etc etc, but then you need to stop the thing so £1000 for a set of big brakes, and then you want it to handle, so another £2,000 on suspension mods, never ending and costs loads!!!!

But the answer to your question is anything is possible!!!

I was told on a standard engine 240-250.

right ok. whats scdb an cdb btw? what sort of power would i get from the following mods then just out of intrest.
forged pistons and rods.
bigger turbo e.g td05
front mount intercooler
and have it remapped to suit.

TD05 20g would see 400bhp!!!

Id be more worried about the gearbox then the engine!!!

A upgarded gearbox in a Turbo 2000 your options are 6 speed newage(£2000) PPG 5 speed (£1500) or a classic STi (600) based on 2nd hand prices, and brakes your looking a AP 6 pots (£1,200) Brembos newage (£600) either way brakes and gearbox is going to cost near what the car is worth!!

So really think is 400bhp really what you want??? because 300bhp in a classic is just as much fun, and without the big costs!!! End of the day do you really want 400bhp or is it a number you just like the sound of!!!

Newage top mount, td0516G, full decat exhaust, fuel pump, plugs, 3 port boost solenoid, panel filter and a remap.

320bhp for under 2 grand. No need to mess around with the engine or box.

Useable and reliable 400bhp costs big money in a classic. But, if you've got 10 large to blow then go for it because 400 in a classic is a bloody hoot.

sorry to thread hyjack but i was looking at upgrading my classic with a td05, i found one but its a 90 degree entry, how do you go about modifying to fit it? and is it expensive?

Cut the bend off and weld a small length of straight pipe on.
Any metal workshop should be able to do it.

cheers, what about the clutch and injectors will they not need replacing ?

After my 2.5 went belly up stuck a cheap standard wrx lump in to keep me going. Still not got my old engine sorted but 10 months later and running 300/300 the temporary engine is running sweet as.

standard uk engine will take up to around 350bhp, i did kill the gearbox though.

As long as your clutch isn't past its best then it should be fine, injectors will be 440's if its a later car so they are fine too.
