My SVX is a daily driver...
Yall are gonna make me crank out some real power... just to say I can...
I have been looking over the hard parts of this engine.
As a starting point it is So far ahead of the engines I am used to working with.
The boxer outlay seems to stand up to the power well.
The head design isnt bad.
Cams are mild but not badly suited for a street turbo setup.
The main thing holding it back looks to be the engine management... at least in stock form.
I am betting that a stock engine would receive a sizable power bump with a decent standalone.
Drop the compression to 8.5-9:1, good rods, properly sized turbo, GOOD chargecooler, and a good tune and I think 500 crank should be fairly easy.
Especially with an intake manifold redesign.
