I can say that mine were good til 47k, then I had ARP rod bolts installed and at 50k I had a spun rod bearing

we were all set to do it to my friends 8 then after talking to some big names on here they pointed that out to me, and after some more research it seems dead on

Basic mods are easy to find on here but here is a quick list:

Evo Green turbo


All of that plus a very good tune on a stock 2.0 *should put you close to 400 WHP, If you wanted to risk meth injection you *could hit 500whp

*guesstimates, not actual figures.
that's not going to make 500awhp, the turbo is too small.

i know it's make a few years the topic is death haha

you say with new crank, rod, piston, cam etc. the block can go over 500hp without failling. but did the block will survive or broke?

it will suck if you invest like 5000$ in stroker or rebuild a block

the problem is the torque not the power itself.


Below 400/390tq is ok.

You can make 500whp with a proper turbo with this torque at 7000rpm or so.
