What are you building? It's often revs rather than power/torque which kills them

Depends how you go about it turbo then you really need pistons changing for big power
Throttle bodies you could get 200bhp but best change rod bolts

Fair enough mate, I've got an idea of how I'm gonna do mine, but if you know any details of how that lad did it that would be smashing

interesting to know that the standard rods can take that much tho tbh

Standard rods won't take much, they fail on standard engines!

Do it properly, fit proper rods.

I know the standard crank in an X16XE will cope with 220bhp, I would imagine that this is probably your limit! Hope this helps

Revs or boost? They like revs.
