Her name is Kirstie.

I keep telling her she can't run quicker then 11sec flat quarters otherwise you gotta install a roll cage. 200rwkw should push the ute into the 11s easy.

Here's Ray Halls url, his prices are pretty good,

let me know what GT garrett turbo you are after and i'll get you a price. My mates has just started up a performance business (sorry guys he's into flat fours)

Have a look at these articles on turbophile:

CA18 shakedown

its also been my general understanding that to run a reasonable amount of horsepower (200rwkw) the most you are going to need is forged pistons(posibly not even these), upgraded turbo/injectors, front mount intercooler and a tune.

Check out this website for turbo's as well. I think their prices are better than average:

It's a real eye opener when you drive a light car with 200rwkw. I drove a Skyline with 225rwkw (a heavy R33) - when the torque came on it just about broke your neck!

My current street car has around 240rwkw with even more weight - but still has plently of juice.

200+rwkw might be a bit uncomfortable/deadly on the streets - especially in the rain.

Why not get the car running and see if you are happy with the stock power, maybe just retune the computer (add more boost).

Then if you are not happy spend the next $5k to get it going a bit quicker.

I used to think if a car didn't run down the quarter in 10sec then it was slow, then after actually driving some 13sec and 12 sec cars everyday - I think I'm happiest with 13sec streeters, much more gets a bit hairy/deadly.

Entirely up to you, but I strongly recommend try before you buy.

but if the engine is already out of the car, and in pieces, its just easier to do everything whilst its out instead of putting it in to the car, n then testing it n then deciding on more power or wateva...saves going to the hassle of having to pull it out n stripping it it a second time

Only take a couple of hours to remove an engine - and you might not have the extra money now, or you might not be happy with the results....that's all.

Although if you have to pay someone else to do it....I guess it could get expensive pulling motors in and out.

Once it's probably cheaper to pay someone to do it, twice it probably cheaper buying the tools and doing it yourself.....painful sometimes though.

PM sent to whorida about the management...

mildman....not disagree-ing with u just thought it would be easiest all round if it was done whilst it all out of the car is all

With all this talk of high power and 11 sec passes on the strip. Dont forget about brakes. I would be looking at handleing and stopping before chasing super power numbers.
