how much horse power is safe to run on stock engine internals? I'm doing some modifications to my engine this weekend and just wanted to know....

 

leave it stock lol

i had too

 

its all in the tune and how you treat the car. turbo swapped has been up to 414whp daily and 440whp on race tune, highest i know of still supercharged is a little bit above 350whp

 

what exactly are you doing?

 

I'm throwing in some 60# injectors, a 2.8" pulley, a heat exchanger, injen air intake, corsa catback exhaust, and a ingalls torque dampener , and a tune this weekend, and I was just wondering what is a safe hp on the 2.0 lsj supercharged engine

 

u should be satisfied with that setup...get some meth tho

alot of ppl run that setup

 

yea, in fact that's a very mild build.

 

lol you'll be more than fine. theres a lot of people running that.

 

that's a pretty common setup, you should be fine on stock internals. if you want to be a little safer with better cooling, add a dual pass endplate. will play VERY nicely with the heat exchanger. i just injectors, he, dual pass, and a tune with a 2.75" pulley, my ia2 never went over 120, and only went that high cause it was i think the 5th pull for the tune. lol.

 

how safe is meth???

and yea I know its not a huge build but the best my budget could build for me

plus I don't want to wreak any internals since I don't have the time and money to do a full rebuild right now, that's why I was wondering what the safe hp is

 

basically thats what im running, and my car runs like a champ!

 

methanol is safe when done right

 

you will not touch the max output of the stock block with an M62 unless you spray like about a 200 shot of nitrous. You may still fail eipcally at tuning and destroy the engine, but not because of too much power.

less than 50% meth in the mixture is safe. period. its the agressiveness of the tuner that poses danger to teh manifold

 

speaking from experience...orrr?

 

its just fact. it will richen and cool the engine and a 50/50 mix is not flammable. unless you run too strong of a meth mix, too large of a nozzle, or have an agressive tune (too lean or too much timing) this cant pop your motor.

 

hmmm so what the best complete meth kit to get for are cars

 

i am personally going to run a 80-20 meth mix. harnessing the most energy possible out of the methanol and 20% water to lower the flash point of the meth
