GET A GOOD TUNE REGARDLESS OF COST.. hope this helped :)

how much power u were running if u dont mind me asking

honestly im not exacally sure because i havent put it on the dyno, but i dont think the figues are huge.. sumwhere around 300hp im guessing.. honestly its the power to weight ratio that makes it fast not much else, ive timed it down the 400 a few times most good runs getting about a 13.0, however with the rings being on the way out im trying to figure out with to rebuild this motor or go a b or k series

niceee... guess the time slip is enough to indicate the power :)

Rebuild the motor an shoot for 12's man, do it hahaha, parts aint that expensive either

i found a decent site to buy all the parts from u dont no of any d16 rebuild guides on the net?

Best guide is the SERVICE MANUAL! I've been turbo for about a year now - all been well so far. And 300hp is a lot of power, what clutch are you running? Not too shabby for a 1.6 liter ay!

its a standard clucth.. its not helping the gearbox much, i try and be gental on the changes as much as i can but second and third syncros are pretty had it

im now getting a b series and prob turboing it :P
