I read that and i have all of that. Thank you
If you’re seeing issues it’s more likely because people are pushing the limits when having to upgrade the fuel system. Use quality parts and ensure they are installed properly and monitor the car. Discuss your goals and expectations with your tuner, if you want a safe reliable setup that makes less power while playing it safe then do that. If you want something that runs on the ragged edge making every pony it possibly can you can do that now. Just seems a huge waste of time to build a motor, install something like a vortex to run it on 93 and stock fueling.
Yes mine was 402 torque. 363 HP.
So is ethanol the general consensus for this type of built?
There's no problem going with the HPFP if your car needs it but it has to be tuned for. Where the problem starts is when guys start adding MPI "multi port injection" and going over 475 HP. The stock block is basically reliable up to around that HP as long as it's running a well sorted tune.
To get that sort of power I would need the xl EQT turbo. Am I right?
Yes with MPI you'll need the LPFP and a controller and a very good tuner. Everybody that has gone near or over 500 HP has had to rebuild their engine or abandoned the GTI and moved onto another brand of car.
Yes or another equal hybrid turbo.
Not everyone, at least yet lol. I’m aiming for 500+ on e85 on a semi daily driver. I don’t drive it every day because I don’t have to, not because I expect it not to be up to the task.
FWIW Ed and cliff both regularly track their car at 500+ whp without major issues. Are the cars gonna last 200k at that level? Most likely not but you’re either in for the long haul or you’re gonna sell the car in 2-3 years like the rest of us anyway.
Good luck I hope you succeed.
