ok if anyones got the feburary 2003 hot 4's issue (they just did a re-release with the october issue) theres nice lookin red gemi in there with white decals down the side but thats not the problem...

his setup is as follows:

- g200 twin cam EFI
- k&n filter
- cold air induction
- Link engine management
- bosch high-pressure fuel pump
- 4 into 1 extractors
- 2 into 2.5 inch stainess mandrel bent exhaust
- resonator
- stainless muff
- lightened flywheel

ok fookin long post i know but no my point... he took it to a dyno and only got 75rwkw ????????!!!!! surely that cant be right and thevye left the "1" off the front.

That sounds spot on. You have to look at what engines make what hp. 175rwkW is more than engines like RB26DETT and SR20DET etc make.

Be a bit realistic. Its a NA 8 valve 2 litre, with an exhaust. big deal! it probably makes 10% more power than in stock form, which is about 74rwkW.

A lot of people are scared to open up a motor.

Plus it costs a bit, even if you pull it apart, and dont do anything, you have to buy gaskets.

imagine having to buy 2 cams, and pay someone to port the head for you, and a gasket kit, theres $1000. on top of the bolt on stuff he has already bought.
