Happy New year everyone!
I need a new car and wanted to get a Skoda Octavia II 1.9 4x4 with 6-speed manual. More power would be pretty neat.
I need someone to go through the mods I planned out, since I've never modified a car and don't know if all of them make sense for my power target.
Modlist:
maXpeeding rods (heard bad things about stock bxe rods)
Bored PD150 Pistons
GTB2260VK
100% injector nozzles
12.9 head bolts
Upgraded clutch
EGR delete
Cat delete
Aftermarket intercooler + piping
I want the car to still be reliable and use it as a daily, but I'm also glad of every penny saved.
Are the pistons a good investment? They have these little oil tunnels to allow the oil squirters to cool them better.
Does it make sense to upgrade just the nozzles on the injectors? Complete bodies are out of my budget... Is there a drawback to go even bigger, to leave some headroom for later on (maybe 2. ECU with a maxed out map for dumbfuckery).
How does the stock intercooler hold up? Idk if I should do the intercooler right away (I'd try to fit a China 600x300x76mm), or save up for one that goes in plugnplay (Audi a4 ones fit but are alot more expensive).
I think all this should be doable with reliability engine wise, it's not like that engine is going to be hammered daily. But are there weakspots in the drive train? Haven't seen a whole lot of modified 1.9 4x4s.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
