Engine Power.

Just a quick one what sort of power can you get out of the standard 1.8t in the ibiza with out doing internal things?

Thanks

Personally i wouldn't want to run anything over 290bhp 300lbft. Some people run more without rods bending, some people run less and they snap. Engine roulette, but i wouldn't be willing to gamble

If your pockets ain't deep then I wouldn't even worry about it.

K03s would be fine and is quick enough mate

That's what I was thinking. What sort of power would I grab with a k03s, exhuast, filter and a map?

As said above, its a gamble going above 250bhp on standard internals as they are so unreliable. Ive heard of people running 250bhp and they bend, others running 300bhp fine. Go for it if you are brave but dont be shocked or upset if the rods bend

My k03s stage one is 217bhp 245lbft. Fuel pump was holding it back aswell so switched to a leon cupra r 4 bar one now.

it's all down to the map, if mapped with rods in mind then 280bhp and 280-300ftlb is safe but make sure it's a nice smooth progressive map not one with a sharp spike of boost otherwise the rods will **** themselves!!
