What's the best forged kit to buy?

[Glanza v jack]

Just a question for the possible future. What would be the best forged kit to buy for the money? For a ep91 td04?

Thanks

[mattyD]

Depends how much money you have ;)

Lol I know mate but the best for its money though? So not thee most expensive but the reasonable option out of them all. There's a weisec (I think its called) kit on eBay for £950?

[pick1]

Are u gonna build it urself ?

[Idrees]

We have forged Wossner pistons and Pec rods available at £850 ;) I can supply everything else you need cheaper than anyone else too, such as updated head gasket, engine gasket set, oil pump, timing belt kit etc

I'm not very mechanically skilled mate so more than likely take it to a garage.

Ooh right sounds good mate, what's that kit like in comparison to others around that price range? Because I generally don't know how much it would cost to forge what I need to reach at least 280bhp

[pick1]

Race tech and tuning developments both have a stage two engine that seem to handle that power very weather av a look at there engine spec list that will give u an idea of everything u will need dude

[Glanza v jack]

Just had a look then looks good, I was told about the wossner forge kit on eBay for £899 which is forge pistons and con rod kit only I think.

[mattyD]

To be fair, any of the forged pistons/rods will be fine for the power mate! Its all about how the engine is built

[Glanza v jack]

What needs to be forged for it to take 280bhp? Would the pistons and con rods be enough or you need a fully forged gasket set and head gasket and new oil pump and other stuff? I looked on the race tech forge kit and they had all sorts of stuff with their kit

[mattyD]

If your forging the engine mate you will be needing new gaskets, bearings, oil & water pump ect you get more depending on wether you go stage 1, 2 or 3!

All forged rods and pistons should easily cope with 280bhp once set up correctly. if it was me I would choose Pauter or Scat rods as they have been tested to big power figures and dished Wiseco pistons

[Glanza v jack]

Cool cool well the 220bhp will do me nicely at the moment haha see what the future brings and will have a look. Just wanted to know what I'd need

I thought your Glanza ran 383bhp on PEC rods? Big enough power there

[Browner]

Correct Iddy but as far as I can research that is the highest bhp that 5e PEC rods have been tested to. At the time I was building I checked the official ratings of the rods and they were quite lower than that but yes they are holding 383bhp fine at the moment I will soon be testing them to a lot more bhp when I bring the car to England so watch this space ;)

For the money you can't beat scat, pec, wossner kits. If you got more money then CP pistons and pauter rods. Although other brands are tried and tested for a fraction of the cost.

In fairness you would probably be better off buying a pre-built engine package, I wouldn't trust a normal garage to build me a forged motor, that saying I don't know where you plan on taking it.

What's the best site to look at to get a forge kit? And what sort of price we looking at? Wanting like 380+ bhp out of it!

You would likely be looking at around 6-8k for the motor for that kind of power.

Add another 10k to that 😂😂

[AdamB]

Add another 10k to that

18k for an engine? It's only a little four cylinder, unless it's made of the finest gold from nazareth

I agree by the time you add on suspension, brakes, mapping etc then yeah it's going to be about that.

Engine only 😂😂.

[abbott]

18k for a 4e engine That would be a crazy price.

[Mad Mike EP82]

380++bhp engine under 2k self built 16k++ on everything else. Then after all that gearbox shits itself 😂😂😂 good luck..
