not sure if i want to have the extra stuffing around with forced induction. sure a turbo would be nice, but i am hesitant to spend big dollars. as far as an atmo version goes, my brother is a mechanic an can do most of the spanner work. Turbo's cost dollars. But then i do have a turbo sitting in my shed off a series 4 13B rotary that may need a home. Ideally, i am not after mega power, 150-160 kw at rear wheels would be good.180 would be great. I spoke to a guy a couple of years ago and he had built a v6 for speedway racing, ripped off the injection and ran a carby and "claimed" 180 kw at the wheels. He is a pretty slick spannerman, does heaps of performance work. "Lyndon Little" hmmm Ill keep on thinking

Im not talking about extractors+chip+filter, but hi compression (say 10:1)ish, cam , headwork , bigger injectors? etc. Now i know a guy who burns chips to suit factory holden computers to suit the partuicular cars modifications, how does this compare to say a wolf 3d? > > > > Any ideas? > > -Wayne > > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
