Over 500 hp ?

these little beauties , and the cam on the right , are part of the package i ordered many moons ago , basically with a decent cylinder head and some boost , over 500 ponies should be in the bag . a guy in finland is running 805 hp , on them there bits and bobs - i even get a t shirt !

What's ruined any bragging rights that you might of had is that we've now all seen your carpet!!!!

I bet it's not cheap to build a 500bhp engine! How much is it going to set you back in total?

its 2.5K in parts - that covers intercooler , ecu (MS) , getrag ,adapter plate , engine machining and cost of parts .

i would imagine dyno tuning could almost cost as much again , quite easily
