Hi, I own a 1988 MKIII I was interested in rebuilding the motor and pumping up the horsepower.I wanted to know is there anybody that has done serious upgrades on a rebuilt motor becaause I want atleast 300hp from the motor not including the exhuast etc.Any commments would be helpful.

Are you going to restore your engine complete.<br>I recomend that you do that.<br>Blowed to engines mysefe this summer.<br>About the Hp question.<br>How much money do you wanna spend?<br>I'm going for new injection, bigger turbo, new ic, bigger injectors and more.<br>But first my engine is gonna be rebulided.<br><br>Magnus<br>SWEDEN

The money is not really a problem I just want to beable to whip a mustang and a z-28 and be damn close to a stock mk4.I just wanted to know what upgrades I would need before others because I dont trust any of the mechanics around here

Hello bmtdf I just had my motor rebuilt And feel just the way you do.I,m new at e-mail so don't want long message not read.Yes want 300 HP I don't know could be poss from mkIII But reduce engine life small turbo hi pressure=heat. But few moments in sun left. Small turbo =low end less lag Don in california

Hey, bmtdf it's me again Don. You are right on and I feel the same about every word you said. I prefer automatic trans getting old. Have to stay calif smog to a degree. Won't devulge here. I plan (emphasis on plan)to lose weight which most disagree with but I need every advantage to win. From what I think I know, it might not be possible but maybe in the short term...no 1/4 miles...just a little kick and let that baby scream! Watch out in you'r mama's Camaro or your MR2 or your Corvette--you only get one chance! donpeckler@...

Yes Magnus in Sweden. crank not ground.still worry though-engine not installed or put together yet. Don' t want to blow it! Too expesive. donpeckler@...

hey bmtdf.Just experimenting with e-mail don,t know how. In my more sober moment we must realize the car's limitations. It is very heavy and I don't think designed to be a real race car like the camaro. The camaro motor is twice as big-how can we compete. I'v seen camaro doors--bar across inside with fiber outside. The way I see it, might beat a stocker using high boost. I,m at a loss right now--might do sonic thing in future, you know mkIII in a 86 supra. Anyway tell me what you think. donpeckler@...

Hello Magnus--Still learning e-mail. Out here in California there are strict smog (smoke and fog) laws. Big turbo means lag I don,t like. I want to tweak my small turbo-only lay on it maybe 6 seconds-thats it, no 1/4 mile etc. But in thoses 6 secs I want to scream . I need to know what to do for that. donpeckler@...
