Who is selling this?
Mind telling us how you manage to get 540hp out of it with a custom cam profile?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992-...QQcmdZViewItem Got a little primer on the lights there.

I've been asking the seller about the car.
Me: So with a 5-speed swap your making 540hp? Wow, I guess those 5-speeds must have turbo's in them or something to make the engine produce more hp? what does this car do in the 1/4? Seller: Please read the ovwerviw as to how the numbers are caculated.and the 1/4 mile is unknown. Me: You do realize there is no way to gain horsepower buy doing a tranny swap? You will gain some torque to the wheels but it'll never go over the numbers the engine is rated at. Hp numbers and torque numbers will still be lower than what the engine is rated at because of driveline loss which, we loose alot of power through because of the AWD. So your saying with cold air intake, Greddy race lower drive pulleys, 4 mid infinity race cams, infinity 555cc injectors, upgraded fuel management system, and a 5mt swap you're making 540hp? And if the car reaches 100mph in 6.6 secs. your cutting lower than a 13sec 1/4(by alot)? Why would you do 0-60mph runs and 0-100mph runs but not do a 1/4? Im still waiting for his responce. dustin

I think it's a case of you need to read all of the words . . . He's talking about what he thinks is the potential of our engine.
The SVX engine is a 3.3 liter flat 6 engine that is virtually bulletproof. Imagine, it has seven (yes, count 'em, seven) main bearings. All supporting a crankshaft that is only slightly longer than three cylinders. The main bearings are supported by a cross-bolted aluminum block. Although no one seems to be racing the SVX, IMHO, this engine has as much performance potential of any six-cylinder engine of a similar size that is currently available. The rods and crankshaft are forged steel and the pistons are forged aluminum. With a shorter intake port, a larger plenum, a longer exhaust header primary, and a higher rev limit, this engine is easily capable of making 300hp in a naturally aspirated state. Add a turbo to each bank of the engine, a pair of intercoolers, and lower the compression ratio and you could approach 550+ horsepower on pump gas. That's my $0.02 Dan |

Why do these SVX travesties keep popping up? With how few that are around, I wouldn't think there would be so many horribly "customized."
I find it hard to believe that anyone who treats a SVX like this could possibly be informed enough to know about swapping in a 5MT, etc.. What the heck kind of "fuel management" is he running and where did he find these injectors and "race" cams? I also really like the primer overspray on the taillights to compliment that tight-azz body kit.
