Cheers!

I don't know if this question has been posted earlier (if so the moderators may kindly remove it), and in addition I cannot come up with a good search string.

The question concerns a BCNR33. I would like to know, in terms of power figures, at which points the following components must/should be uprated:

Injectors?
Intercooler?
Turbochargers?
Air-Fuel Meters?
Fuel Pump?
Fuel Pressure Regulator?
Intake Plenum?
Camshafts?
Cam Pulleys?
Pistons?
Connecting Rods?
Headgasket?
Other gaskets?
Exhaust Manifold?
Extensions Pipes/L-bows?
Downpipes?
Clutch?
Gearbox?

The best way of doing this would be just writing the figure after the component I think. If you have any recommendations for the uprated items, please list those also. Let's say we'll just aim at 800 BHP... For fun!

Many thanks for you valuable assistance! If we do a good job perhaps many people may use this thread as a center of reference in the future...

there's been plenty of tuning guides printed over the years, the most recent of which is in PPC magazine (practical performance car) magazine.

if you are tuning the car yourself then research as hard as possible, otherwise any decent tuner doing the work will know exactly when a component needs uprating

Thanks for your input, even though it was not what I was looking for. This is part of my research.

I have yet to see such a tuning guide in a magazine they sell over here in Sweden, that's why I simply post a question instead.

Most tuning guides I've seen don't really say when you need to make certain upgrades, they merely list the upgrades you need in the correct order and recommend which parts you use when aiming for a specific power figure.

I'm not sure yet what power figure I am aiming for, it might be 600 as well as 800.
