95 talon tsi build

[sickaz2g]

Okay so i have a 95 talon tsi and am looking to give this car a very bright future. I bought the car for 1000$ not running. i have already got the block head and tranny out of the car and got some forged pistions and rods.i have decided on the forced performance green turbo and now i am runnibg into some questions. Thank you so much for the help in advance.

I plan on this car being very high performance and wanted to know with doing all these things and more.. If i need a new Crank shaft or if the stock crank can handle 500-600hp. .

Any help or suggestions would be awesome, anything else i need on a 500hp build like the diffs.?.

Once again any help would be awesome thanks!

Im pretty sure that if built right, with the right rod's/piston's and tuning that it's possible. Remember tuning is everything. With those HP goals though I would look into a built shortblock from one of the site sponsors.

I have seen a lot of 7 bolt(95-96) motors crank walk I have 2 in my shop right now with big holes blown in the side,(I have read that aparently they made slight changes in 97-99 7bolts and they arent as likely to crank walk). I would go with a 6 bolt to start your project, they are stout, and with the stock crank balanced and blueprinted those rods and pistons you have should be a good platform for 500+ hp

The stock crank will handle that power just fine. The only reason you would ever need to change cranks is if you decided to go stroker.

There was an article a few years ago in Import Tuner, a guy made 800+ WHP with the factory 7-Bolt crank. If you want to make sure it won't walk, buy a girdle and billet main caps. If you want 500-600HP you better start looking on how to get that power to the ground. Get a transmission capable of holding it, whether you buy one from dog box racing, shep racing, jacks transmissions, team rip or rebuild your own with team rip rebuild kit. A good clutch will be needed. A suspension to help control all of that power as well as a nice set of tires. You will need to make that stop so get some brake upgrades, at least pads and rotors. 500+ HP is what everybody seems to want, but HP doesn't make a car competitive, it has to be engineered to be competitive. Although it seems like Im giving you a hard time I am not, just trying to be real with you. Good luck on the build. post some pictures as you buuld it. we all like when others do build blogs and post pictures.
