It's got 260kw which is 35ohp at the crank, when i put it on a dyno im hopeing to see 21oish rwkw (28orwhp) stock. I had a few plans and spoke with a engine builder who pushed 317rwkw (42orwhp) from a slighlty up spec model with a very very mild set of cams and bolt on's. Biggest thing till the last month was not having the ability to play with the factory ecu, now we have an edit and big things are possible. Cams were a no go as the base idol couldn't be lifted to run large cams but thats fixed now so we expect big numbers from them.

The upspec model is a GT which has 390hp stock. They are the same engine but the GT has higher c/p and the heads are machined a bit different and the cams sit in a slightly different location so they can run different valves. But with a bit of headwork they can both be the same.

But for the money i was looking at spending going n/a and chasing 45orwhp i'd be much better off going f/i and going after 6oorwhp which is limited to the stock internals.

f/i= Forced Induction
I think its the same as a L engine minus the Eaton.
Yes, RWD

Aussies are cool!! :banana: beautiful country too!
The chics there are hot, and the accents are sexy. Besides the chics really dig american guys. :coolman: Go on a surfing tour run by chics. :rolling:

Na we got stuck with the porky iron block.


Not from mine yet, best iv'e heard is a 13.81 but that was from a 5 spd. With the 6 spd i'd expect to knock a few tenths off. The bloke who reccorded that time then went 13.61 with just a cai.

Same block as the L, same head's as the o3 cobra (same casting's anyway).

Nice to here about a performance ride thats out of the norm (atleast in the northern hemisphere). Sharp car. :rockon:

Yep a company here in au called APS (Air Power Systems) is developing a Twin turbo kit for the mighty Boss engines and it will be production ready by october. They are hopeing for 4oorwkw (54orwhp) with just the kit at around 1oish lb's.

Im saving for a kit now although it's unlikely i can afford one, on the upside if i cant that'll give me a shitload of money to spend on the car going n/a.

RSX front end and a GTO rear + a 5.4 = yum
