Ok so the 2J is a much more advanced engine.. will it run all day every day at 800hp ? for 100k miles ? as a DD that you beat to death everyday ? or is 800hp to much.. i know you cant drive a 1000-1500 hp car around as a DD and excpect to hop in and drive 1000miles on spur of moment and not worry your ass off...
whats the limet of a DD hp ... Opinuns ?
Here's my experience on the matter. I say experience, not hearsay.
I personally know two people with MKIVs running extremely high power levels. One has about 680whp, and track races the car fairly regularly, the other has mid 700s to the wheels, and drives the car fairly regularly when it's nice out.
Both of these cars have had zero issues in the last few years that I've known the owners. Both cars are running stock internals. The only modifications to both cars being a larger fuel system, larger turbo, larger cams, larger intercooler, and appropriate body mods for the power (larger tires, heavy clutch, one has a full roll cage too). Both are running a full standalone, with a LOT of hours into tuning (especially the track racer). This is where the key to reliable power lies, within someone who has the tools, and knowledge to properly tune the vehicle.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, the 700ish car broke a rear-end one time.
