How to make 500whp
Hey guys my car spun a bearing and I decided to build the bish lol so anyways long story short. The car currently has and HKS Hi Power exhaust and exedy twin and Xs FMIC with Stock piping.
Part being purchased are:
Maley H Beam Rods
Manley Crankshaft 33 lbs
CP Pistons 9:1 compression Ratio
ACL Main Bearing
ACL Rod Bearing
ACL Thrust Washers
ARP Headstuds
Cometic Head Gasket
Currently I know with the stock turbo 500 whp is not reachable but i wanna know if the bottom end will make the power when the other issues are adress such as the turbo,cams,hard piping and tuning.
Also how much boost do you guys think this bottom end setup can handle with the stock turbo?

ok wow more info please 2.0 or 2.3??? parts sound good i would think in the neighborhood of 700+ i dont think your trying to get crazy with it so that will be plenty maybe you should consider 2.3 improve spool and no point in getting built motor if you keeping stock turbo LOL.

It's a 2.0L and I am not planning to keep the stock turbo it will be upgraded enentually when the motor is broken in. also reason being why i never went with a 2.3 is because i have no confidence in anyone boring my block here. I have seen to moany cars here have problems after stroking their motor

I know a 2.3 will increase spool and add torque but if i was not in a hurry to get the car back up and runnig then i honestly would box it up and send it off to AMS but I feel the 2.0 will satisfy me
You def have the right idea ,Built 2.0 ,1000cc injectors , Double pumper , FP flack , 280 cams and your on your way to 500whp tomorrow !!! And I def hear ya about the hole 2.3 I would love a 2.3 but.... I have a trust thing as well lol
