Hey all,

Whats the fastest 2L Piazza turbo engine you have seen?

Im looking at building one and want to know how many kw's I could get out of one of these engines.

Ive seen chiptorque's gemini run a 10.5 quater mile and do 370 rear wheel hp on the dyno but thats a 2.6L would the Piazza 2L be able to output numbers like that?

Thanks in advance!

i know of a chap in sydney who 'claims' to have got 300+hp out of a piazza motor in a gem. he reckons that the thing that surprised him the most was how strong the standard head was at dealing with all that. he built the bottom end real beefy, and left the head stock, and was running a claimed 35+pound boost through it. can get u more info on it if your interested? mail me at: funkigem@hotmail.com
and i'll give u some more info on his setup.
cheers, greg
