To be fair, yeah they are pretty good in terms of reliability. But they're damn expensive to begin with and tuning them get's even more expensive!

very tunable and strong , I've seen well over 300bhp with just a decent exhaust and intake and good tune

Great engine. OK it's 20 years old but it's solid a f*ck and as you say is easily tuned.

We'll be developing a kit with Rotrex and pushing 400bhp minimum to start with!
