Still not bad going, getting big reliable power from a normally N/A engine.
Any sign of an engine spec, and a rough esimate how much he's spent on parts, and how much of it is 1 off's?
wrong. Z18XE has been in the C since 2004, it replaces the X18XE when the model received the facelift

Maybe he means in Australia? Or maybe you've just owned him

300bhp isn't all that much really when 2.0's are putting out immensly more power. They've just had the tuning developemtn done, where as most peopel would opt for a 2.0 Turbo instead of modifying a 1.8 engine...
thankyou someone with some sense, im not comparing it to a dragster or anything like that im just saying that 300 hp isnt much of a achievement, and as for the engine that aint meant to be turbocharged to start with there is no relivence at all, qrew's cally t is a c20xe thats been modified in the same way this has basically and its 569 bhp atm till he gets his new turbo to aim for around 650 safely
its a very good accomplishment for a z18xe but its not amazing thats all i was putting across
what about the fact that hes aiming for 400+? i cant believe you are comparing a brand new Z18XE with an engine that has been around for donkeys years and that everyone knows about. you are full of BS. i fixed some of your spelling mistakes too.
for those that arent aware, the turbo is good for 700bhp

Pretty sure they all got Z prefixed engines, as the Z prefix is showing the engines compliance With Euro4 emmissions standards. Euro 3 engines had Y prefixes, which were enforced early 2000, so the engines would need to meet at least those regs.... i think .

correct, they always were Z prefix in the C, the X18XE is big block.
the Y prefix engines were all diesels.

why is that amazing for a 1.8? mazda rx7's commonly make over 500hp and there 1.3's, its not the engine size that matters bhp wise its what you do to it
Very stupid to compare the 2 and if you really want to be correct the engine is a 2.6 as the 2 rotors equate to 2.6 (1.3 each)

actually you are wrong, the rotors are an EQUIVELANT capacity of 1.3 per rotor, but the displacement of air/fuel per "stroke" is only 650cc

That looks awsome! And can I just add that Norris Designs got 600bhp from "I think" but don't quote me an S13, 1.8 turbo.

Quick question: The cars isn't a facelift model, so why put in a Z18XE, turbo it and spend that amount when he could easily put in a Z20LET??? If it was an 1.8 Sri standard it'd be the X18XE engine. And its not a shop is it???

its in Australia, all australian models have the Z18XE so it seems. and its not just a case of putting in a Z20LET, they are pretty hard to come by without actually buying a car with that engine already in it. and no its not a shop.
Norris may have got that much power from an S14, but that came from the FACTORY with the turbo, with millions invested.

Bet that is one laggy bastard then! No point in using a turbo that big for a car thats only making 300bhp! By the time that fukker had spooled youd be at the end of the strip!!!
Lovely car tho, not taking anything away from that!!!
