For years it was a commonly held thought that you couldnt get over 300 hp with the stock engine managment without spraying it with N2O. 205 was the highest stock rating.
I dont listen with to "can't". I tuned and tweaked a stock longblock to 332 hp and 344 tq... at the wheels. With no exotic parts.
I just tend to lean towards hands on and real world ideas.

You stop dreaming, you stop living.

I like this approach. You gets nuthin' for nuthin' in this world, unless you are real lucky.

Anything I ever got I had to dream it up. First you visualize, then, you do. Like virtual reality, only for real.

After the virtual image is confirmed, you figure out how to impose the reality.

500hp? I know how that will work, let's do it.

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.

I would love to check out your car... maybe when I pick up the seat back you have for sale
I got out of 2.3Ts for a while... but am starting from scratch on a new project.

I will be keeping track of it on www.turbopinto.com , my website
Feel free to drop in and keep track of it when I start.

Lightbulb engine

a 3.82" stroke will give you a square bore for smooth efficient torque and 4.3L. think 6.2L AMG. 360bhp efficient horsepower and a supercharger would be hardly any drag. think ford gt. ecutune.com seems to have the upgrades.

To my knowledge, the only real source of struts are the stock Showa's, Konis and the DMS struts....not teins.
