When to run Forged internals on a Bora V6 4Mo?

[Dyldo]

Howdy dubbers!

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a (slow) build of a Supercharged V6 Bora. When does the engine need to be cracked open for forged internals?

I am going with a V9f charger stage 2 and then going to run a water/meth kit - tuned accordingly on a c2 supplied ecu.

do we even need internals at this stage?

How much boost do you want to pump into it?

[Dyldo]

Supercharged, so anywhere from 5 to 8psi tops.

5-8psi i wouldnt bother too much its not really alotta boost

Should be fine.

If you're worried, fit a set of ARP rod bolts.

Make sure you get some decent intercooling going.

My previous car, an A4 2.8 quattro I put a PES G2 supercharger kit on; decided to bolt on a smaller pulley (10psi) and slowly melted a piston, ha.

x2. Or at least run water-meth injection. Sebs got a real trick set-up going on his VR6 Turbo.

yeah sorry gang, I meant to put down that i am after a decent water/meth (or at least water) injection kit. Prob Devil's Own. Only because for way less than a grand its free hp and a big safety margin.

Since you own a servo have you thought about e-85?
Also your best to speak to Mark @ Re-code to get a custom tune for our conditions.

we've just changed our tanks for the brand new 98ron formula from Shell. Nationwide rollout should come soon. Haven't thought of e85 tbh, and i do have easy access to 20L drums of 100.1 RON race fuel.

As for the tune, JLT recommends c2 for the tune - so ship the ecu off to the US with a list of all the mods and go from there. In saying that though, am always open to options and recode seem to be getting great results.
