just boost on a stock engine they are fine to do so, and why start messing around with making a new engine fit

the only advantage i can see from some of the big engines, is torque i am just touch 400ftlb where as if you looked at supra and skylines with the same horses their torque is far greater than mine

ps my vote turbo

It's just such a sweet engine.

I like seeing the engine with a different car around it!

Thanks all for the advice! I think maybe I'll go with the supercharger, brakes, suspension and spoiler etc. I think I was having a funny 5 minutes having seen my mate just spend a couple of thousend

Look on Spoon or Toda web pages. Also try the US side of the forum as there are a number of people using them over there.
