Roughly one year ago, Dave and the team built a B20vtec making 148kw. That was by no mean a serious set-up. A basic combo with 84mm RS machine pistons and a good head made that power. Im not going to disclose the entire combo because it cost money for that kind of information.

In regards to the Toda EG, that a fully built motor, sleeved with a capacity close to 2.0l (1.9l). I believe its running big cams, vtec killer cams? A average person couldnt afford such a motor.

Of course there are always better products on the market. It all about marketing the product. Like both Spoon, Mugen and Toda products there all over marketted product with a huge price tag over them. If you look around, there are products out there on the same level of performace for a fraction of the cost.

Im always open to using different products. Remember its the combo of parts which make power. Not always using the same brand can achieve this.
hey i rekon ur pretty good backyard mechanic for a uni boy haha makes scense benny you reckon i can make over 132kw and hit the 140+ considering my setup has all oem parts in it with just one lilltle upgrade?
