I'm over the pond in the UK. The home of 4 pot turboed motors!!!!
I spoke to some engine builders whilst attending an illegal drifting meet in Crystal Palace London. They said most of the 4 cylinder Ford and Vauxhall 1.6, 1.8 litre lumps can take 300hp after which you need stronger crank, rods, bearings and pistons. After 450hp you need a stronger block.
I thought my stock GM 350 V8 could take 600 hp and I was wrong.
It did, but not for long. If I were you I'd pray that if you break it you can salvage the top end and just buy a new stronger bottom end.
V8, V6, Straight 4, it just depends on how far you wanna take it and how much you wanna spend!!! The rules don't change! Just the horse power and the cash!!!!!$$$$££££.
