Right on. I thought I remember seeing something about a year ago about using 15% as the typical loss through the drivetrain (parasidic loss?). Originally I was going to go ITR, then I switched to GSR, then between an LS and a GSR and I think I might still rather have the GSR. Then I think that I just want the GSR for t3h Vt3CHzes and the higher reving abilty. And I do want to build this engine. Maybe I'll just build my A6 or a Z6 before dropping it into the DX hatch. It's a good thing I'm planning on waiting until after summer before doing anything with this motor. Bah I say, bah unto my indecision.
Just double checking. I'll be alright under 300whp, right? I really don't want to resleeve if I don't have to.
if you spend money to build a d-series, IMO, you're wasting yoru time and more so you're money.
boost the fuck out of it, and when it blows, buy another block for under $100.
you can blow 15 motors before you will get your money back ona sleeve/piston/rod job.
hell, im TRYING to sell an UN-blown z6 shorty with tranny for $50, and I CAN'T!!!!
under 300 whp, tuned properly, good fuel, good timing, you'll be relativly safe at a lelve below 300 whp.
if yoy're running an fmu, i'd drop that number to 200.
