on this theme, as i plan to get it, what about a ko3 with WMi and stock internals??  :confused:

internals cant cope with wmi, they will get damaged indefinitely. If you want water meth you will need to do internals.  :happy2:

It depends on what mix of meth you are using etc but after seeing a few k03 cars with meth all having some problems with their internals i wouldn't say it was "good" for the engine. :laugh:

was thinking about 70 (water) 30 (meths), and neither Nick @ R Tech or Statlers mentioned anything about needing to upgrade internals!? Are you talking specifically about upgraded injectors and intercooler??  :sick:

i would get wmi also  :evilgrin: i pulled 400bhp from my old bwa befor it went bang  :driver:

That kind of says all you need to know.  :signLOL: 70 water 30 meth is quite a safe amount i would imagine that james was running 100% meth ?

If you are running k04 you should already be running s3 injectors and a intercooler.

well yes, and the originator of this thread i would imagine will also be getting the injectors and intercooler when getting the ko4!  :party:

Mine is a lowly ko3, just hoping i dont need stronger internals, spent enough bloody money, lol!!  :fighting:

If you get Nick to map it, ask him to go easy on the torque as that's what generally kills the K03 engines.

I can vouch for how quick James's is. Spins the wheels in 4th IN THE DRY  :driver:

You couldn't possibly want any more in a FWD and it's a damn sight cheaper than Hybrid Turbo's etc

well just had a Helix Stage 1 clutch installed, so at least that wont go, lol!! I'm planning to have the WMi as a stand-alone, then perhaps later in year get it tuned in by Nick...
I'm currently running on about 330 torques...  :driver:

i was runing 50/50 on my old bwa engine, and it went bang at 400bhp, but only blew a piston ring.
I think the bwa is safe upto 380bhp and 370ftlb

i runned my cdl on 100% meth and it was 400bhp and 450ftlb.  is a crazy car...  now stuck with a rev4 in NZ  :sad1:

If you want it doing properly, get it up to Nick  :happy2:

You must take it gently though if your running a K03 map still

you cant use the s3 base map as the ecu is not the same.

I drove mine 300miles to nick,  if you drive nice and dont go over 70mph it is fine.
