help with turboing

[vee-dub90]

Currently my car is running a 5th gen m45 eaton with 310cc injectors and i plan on taking it all off, and running a k03 and i just want some advice on what i should use etc? I'd like to make about 190bhp running about 1.5 bar

so far i plan on getting:

wossner 77mm pistons to take it upto 1341
some forged rods too (can anyone recommend any? or do i keep stock rods?)
kkk k03
philj manifold and downpipe
decent cam
mocal oil cooler
I plan on doing some headwork too
a ppp chip

[vee-dub90]

anyone at all?

Most people don't change the stock PY rods. They seem to be good for large power.

[vee-dub90]

i was just curious if its worth getting forged really, but i guess i could use stock

[hayesey]

No one has ever had trouble with rods to my knowledge, I'd save your money there.  Budget for a custom remap too.

[vee-dub90]

i shall use stock rods then, any recommendations on what spec cam i could go for? also things like, would it be worth getting the crank balanced etc?

With a k03 you want something like a 268/268. I think PPP can source these.

[vee-dub90]

arent the newman cams 268/268?

[vee-dub90]

also, what head gasket would i run?

[dub-disaster]

I run a standard victor rienz one from vag  on mine. you can run a metal one if you want from something like aex  engine but it will raise your compression ratio slightly due to it being slightly thinner.

Im running 2 aee headgaskets and a decompression plate on a 1.6 aee lupo turbo with a k03, frontmount, newmann 268 268 schrick copy cam, 250cc injectors, modified head and a ppp live map and my car has just done 1000 miles with no problems all on standard internals

How much does this raise the ratio by?   Enough to care or not?

What boost levels are you running on this set up? Whats the spec on the decomp plate?

Worth noting the standard Victor Reinz gasket is no longer available from VW, but is the part elring supply, available from RS engine Supplies.
