wat power can a ek4 handle before it twists anyone no

 

not too sure off the top of my head. i know the more hp you gain, eventually you will need to upgrade your axles though. but next time you post, try to use the button.

 

Get a nice set of chassis braces/strut-tie bars, and a roll cage.

You should be fine

What kind of power are you expecting to be pushin?

 

i dont believe the chassis will "twist" on a fwd..... not like a rwd car.

it could flex a bit. but nothing major.

 

vin diesel+to much power the chassis twisted
fast and furious

 

Was it the Venom civic years back that was having problems with the front shock towers ripping apart?? There was a fair amount of power, but I couldn't tell you exactly how much, heck I can't even remember what year that was.

hard to twist the chassis when the motor is sitting left to right pulling foward.

 

Kenny's car started ripping the shock towers apart a couple years ago. That's when we put it under the knife!

 

Longitudinal mounted engines are the ones that twist the chassis and break the windshields-- it's because of rotational inertia. Single engine aircraft also have this problem-- in WWI, the radial engines mounted on the aircraft would cause the airplane to always steer right, and they would have to adjust the trim of the control surfaces to correct for this.

In our cars, with the way the engine turns, the chassis would twist toward the front of the car then to the ground in that circle. Typically, the way the mounts are designed, it controls this, and if anything helps traction, but it still can damage pieces like the shock towers or the mounts under enough torque.

 

i see but my friend has a 250bhp pug 306 and it twisted the chassis, maybe cos its a 306. thanks for the reply, iam hopin for bout 350hp

 

You should be fine

You plan on boostin I asume?

 

yeah boostin it cos want the wastegate and the power
