Whatever that number is at the moment... I predict it to be quite a bit higher a year from now.

Hmmm...The only mod I've seen which is dyno proven to add HP to an N/A engine is that new intake. At the crank it's probably good for about 25 HP, putting a perfectly running SVX in the 255 crank HP ballpark. Plus cams, those fancy spacers, big exhaust, ECUTune chip, port/polish...I'd say you could see 270 crank N/A.

190-200whp is a plausible goal using the parts currently available and the knowledge too.

The car did have cams, but there was as dyno run without the intake before the run with the intake. The intake itself made a good improvement, but there is no evidence a car with stock cams will see as much of an improvement if any, though I am optimistic it will.

If you want a drifter, buy something that starts out RWD, and starts out light. Funny thing is, you'll spend a lot less money getting a car like a 240SX or a Corolla to perform the way you want it to than you will trying to make the SVX run poorly. |

no i did not buy the svx to drift, i was only curious..., but i baught it because i like to have something diffrent than everyone else and for speed wise im most intrested in accelaration, not top speed, considering you can get away with a 0-60 or 0-40 runs on the street but you wont get away with doing 100+ , atleast where i live

I fu(%ing hate that movie, precisely becuase it makes people who can't drive in the first place think drifting is awesome.
Drifting is like playing guitar, its easy to get started, anyone with half a brain can brake loose thier back end. On the flip side, it is hard to master, and should never be done outside of a closed course. That being said, it takes years to master a RWD drift, and AWD drift takes even more time, and some level of natural talent to do well. Don't try to drift your SVX. Lest this happen to you. This guy wasn't even trying to drift, he just hit an oily patch of road and got sideways. Once you are sideways in an AWD car you'd better know what you are doing. In this case, the driver was unable to return the car to the proper orientation. This is about what happened. Flip Flip Flip then he hit a tree, upside down, airborne, at 60 mph... He broke his neck, pelvis, and arm, and was in a wheelchair for a LONG time. Sorry about the apparent rant. The point is, if you want to learn to drift, or do any sort of extreme driving, go to a driving school, then hit the track. Keep it off our roads, there are enough idiots out there already. -Patrick

We have a new law here in Ontario, a street racing blanket law. 50 KPH over the limit, or anything a police officer deems to be "street racing", will get you a minimum $2000 fine, and one week without you license and car. This is things like spinning the tires at a light, weaving through traffic....
