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

rediculous comment of the week, goes to you RX7's use Wankel Rotary technology, its not a conventional engine, and cannot be compared to other cars with I4 engines in power comparisons.

uses a huge Garrett GT35/40 turbo, but its been so well positioned and crafted, its on boost very early indeed, hardly any lag. its a custom job built by the cars owner, all internals uprated, compression dropped a fair bit. standard gearbox doing suprisingly well should be good for over 400bhp
marc, i think its just a highly polished rocker cover with a sheet of metal covering the sparkies
turbo is off a Falcon XR6 Turbo thats a 4.0 straight six punching out about 350bhp

I think the rocker cover is off another car. I saw a SAfrican guy post on here and I asked what cam cover it had on it.
Its not a Vauxhall one, I "THINK" it may a "Hyundi" one (whos VX rival/partner in the far east?) that fits, but the design is meant to be much better.
That looks like a proper job, none of this home grown branded Regal type tat...
