allegedly they blow up a lot. if you spend money on the engine and have proper low comp pistons, would probably run ok

then add £1500 for management and another £500 for other bits,
throttle bodies are the way forward

throttle bodies - image four cans lined up along a wall, each one resembling a cylinder. Normally an engine has one throttle body that sucks in air for all 4 cylinders - That would be like getting one shotgun and shooting all cans. When you have thottle bodies, each cylinder has a throttle body feeding more air to each cylinder - so it would be like having 4 shotguns, one to shoot each can
