No affiliation, etc. Someone needs to pick this up so I don't have to.

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

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?

You'll need to log in to post.
