No I meant hp gains...the t3 turbo intercooled and the AEM EMS will put you stock motor at 230 hp. if you build up the motor, i.e. ner pistons, rods, cams and all with around 11 lbs, will run approx. 380 hp and the other minor things will set you at 430. I know because I am in the process of building the car as I write this. I'll post pics and dyno's when I'm done...

slowpoke these motors can not produce that much or handle that much. even with rods and pistons. the crank angle kills just about everything

You know something… I am starting to believe that this forum needs a psychologist. All of you (the ones that think this car can go fast) are in denial. Everyone is saying this car can be fast if you have the money. “Anything is possible with enough money” Yet, the list only adds up on how many companies and people that have attempted motor swaps or a turbo/supercharger setup are blowing their motors. The car has been out for a long time, the own damn company gave up on trying to make the car.

Rebuild the engine with stronger pistons and rods? Its been done and what? It is still slow.

Why? Because the car was built for mpG not mpH


Hello Everyone My name is Ed and I have a slow car.
