Hey folks,
So my car has been out of commission for a while and I've decided to focus on getting it back on the road. The engine thats in the car now was basically stock. Drove it like that for a year or two before 6th cylinder blew up. Close to the end of its life a had a blown head gasket and I feel that may have led to the failure of the engine (caught the blown gasket to late) Replaced it drove it for a while after that and looking back now I feel fuel got into the oil and killed the ring or something. Smelt a fair amount of fuel before the engine died. Thought it was a leaky injector or something and didnt really act fast enough on it.
With that being said I bought a new engine and have it on a stand and I plan to buy a few goodies to replace on it. It is stock with only 69,000kms on the engine. I was planning on doing just some minor mods. Didn't really want to go to deep into forged internals yet If I don't have to.. Was planning on getting Cams, better fuel system (rail, injectors, pump) and intakes and intake piping and then a Gtx35 with a twin scroll manifold. My question is will I be pushing to much horsepower on stock internals?
Right now the engine is in great shape from what I can tell. Most of the cylinders have 150psi lowest cylinder had 140psi. I plan on ripping it apart a little bit just to see what kind of shape the heads in etc and get some metal gaskets and studs while its off. But overall the engine seems to be in pretty good shape.
So the question is, if im going with a bigger single pushing 500-600hp+ on stock internals is it likely that im gunna end up with another chewed motor?
Thanks guys,
