I currently have one - it's going to be funner (but, ultimately, heavier)

Anyone know stock HP how much these weigh?
Also say you had another $1012 lying around how much hp could you make keeping it street drivable?
Wait ok say another $500 lying around (need $512 for suspension wheels etc.)

My '87 Turbo is registered at 660Kg net (1452lbs). I think they were around 100hp stock? I know many folks turn the wick up over 20psi boost, but change head gaskets like underwear.

70hp stock. I used to run mine at 21psi with just a coolant temp sensor mod and it ran that way for years. I'd really like another one.

70 hp/108 lb/ft torque at 7.5 psi.
20 psi no problem. They do not blow head gaskets unless you're doing something wrong. I ran 14.8 with a mild cam and 18 psi boost.

My buddy makes 200 WHP with his.
Very stout motors.

one of those engine might be kinda fun in a locost with a samurai transmission. Didn't realize you could get 200whp fairly easily with them. Anyone running more?
