Maybe and only maybe if he wanted like 500+ hp would the swap be reasonable for long term reliability.
@ Docmattic ...The other option is do a rebuild, keep the SC kit, upgrade to E85 and enjoy the reliable hp without trying to test the limits of your rebuild. |
I actually pushed back on them today. Originally I had been quoted for a top spec rebuild. I had interpreted this as the cost of the build I needed for the sprintex 210 kit. I rang today and said today could they do it any cheaper. Got told that was a quote for the absolute best of everything.... So asked them to do a quote using the best bang for buck parts. He will get back to me on price but thinks it will be rated to 300kw (400 hp) atw with what he has in mind. I told him my budget is 8k so hopefully we gets close. He Thinks is tight but doable. Not a bad option...... Better than 15k.
Does anyone know the power a sprintex 335 kit can do on a built motor on pump gas? I have the 210 kit but if I can handle way more after this build it's an easy swap.
Otherwise it will probably be a Renault rs265 for me. Chris Evans tested one in his best performance cars of 2014 and it beat a BMW m3 around the track... Pretty nuts. Can get 1 in good knick for 19k.......
Its fwd but handles like the 86 comes 2l turbo stock. I know USA does not get these but look them up on YouTube.
