120kw, honestly I don't know how much you'll have to spend to get that mate. I think you're crazy...

agreed, unless your willing to completley rebuild the engine with everything forged and most possibly iron sleeve the cylinders.
pretty much double the durability of the engine

120kw atw....? LOL!

i was just wondering if it was possible!

Not really worth it, might aswell do a engine conversion

anything is possible! you are just limited to your budget.

120Kw would be an awesome car to drive, do you have an airport near you so you can fuel up with some AvGas?

hehe keeping it N/A you'd be running some monster sized cams

look at it this way.. a B series conversioin will set you back at least 4 to 5K by the time you buy the engine, box and loom..... thats without freshening up the engine and you may have to engineer the car..

personally i think that is a huge spend to have an upgraded stock engine, with little power increase... then you will need to spend the extra $$$ on mods chasing the power figure you want.


you may as well buy a 6cyl

If you want cheap power don't get a Honda.

But if you want a Honda and want the most economical power boost - go turbo.

keep reading on dseries.org for a few days mate

you'll get a better understanding on what is involved, or download the Edelbrock installation manual

120kw atw is achievable when boosting. I'd say it would be quite safe to boost on stock internals if you are trying to achieve that power mark. I'm going to boost around September when I am on my fulls, and hell i'd be satisfied with 110-120 considering I drive daily. It's up to you to be honest, I'd rather be different ..
