  • and they say it was a bad idea on top gear, fuck them.

  • what engine does this thing rock?

  • I had an 81' with a 351w that looked identical to this. Loving it!

  • i was there! lol. long drive but worth it!

  • Not saying this is slow, just saying its not "one of the fastest street legal 4 bangers" I love the mustang, but dont like people throwing around those kinds of "facts"

  • @bikerboomer

    Is YOUR car faster? show us your project please.

  • @dieselgeek lol, i haz no money, im a college student. When i graduate and get a jerb i might make a straight line car. Im more of a road race car man myself, but you never know, i might get bored and build a nasty notch back with with a 4g63 in it :)

  • @bikerboomer

    Right on!! there's a local in Omaha putting a 4G63 in a foxbody mustang. Everyone hates him already. Meanwhile, check my other vids, I tuned a NASA American Iron car that is also a turbo-4 Ford, it's pretty cool.

  • @bikerboomer IDIOT

  • 9.9? there are plenty of street legal dsms that are faster than that... lol.

  • @bikerboomer

    This car has been 8.80s at 160mph. It also won the "Drag Week" event 2 years ago... which means it completed over 1200 miles of street driving and 5 days of racing without breaking. There probably are DSMs in the 8.80s that are streetable by now - but not many. Also, please don't show me Shepherd's hard-block-filled, no cooling system, no charging system "street car" that can run for 90 seconds at a time, and tell me it's a "faster street car"

  • @dieselgeek fuck yeah, drag week is awesome, my buddy scott did that in his little crx one of the years, is this the stang that does wheel stands when the turbo spools? lol Epic stang man!

  • Comment removed

  • UH-OH i see a megasquirt unit down there!!

  • Awesome! I love my 79 turbo. People still ask me, "damn, is that a 5.0?" LOL

  • @mcflysrc i got a 92 2.3. people ask me, "damn, is that a matchbox car?" LOL

  • this guy lives in midland, tx. fast car. love this car. old video tho.

    youtube.com/watch?v=BH8rBJXz6d­0

  • yeah everyone that talks crap sucks balls. fast car. the initial LAUNCH wasnt impressive but it does what its supposed to.

  • Two dislikes.....probably from v8 dudes that have seen the back of a few too many SVO's......

  • thats the meanest sounding 4 banger ive heard....but still cant beat the sound of a v8

  • I own one 2.3l turbo mustang(had ovalport head on it, ported intakes,cam,stock turbo,brown tops FI 35s LA3 computer and t5) its so much fun 2 drive than a v8 5.0 I love my mustang <3

  • What happened on the launch? he usually leaves with the front end in the air, it sounded like it almost stalled on that run. it almost looks like the tires broke loose, and he got out of it, and then laid into it again. just wondering

  • @leafsrule16

    well, actually - this one makes about 6hp per cubic inch. It's difficult and expensive to get a v8 engine to make that same kind of power, and be able to live on the street. 6hp per cube, that would be a 2700hp chevy 454. You won't see that kind of power in too many street cars.

  • @dieselgeek Heck..3 horse per cube is one pretty hot ass motor..i couldn't imagine 6!

  • @dieselgeek you also have to think of the High Hp Rotories out there to. ive seen my Father build a 830hp 13BT no v8 can achieve that kind of hp per liter and be street legal.

  • @leafsrule16 hahahhaha that micropenis analogy is hilarious and so true

  • @leafsrule16 we dont need 5+ liters to kick your ass

  • @leafsrule16 Whats wrong with having a lighter engine if the car is already running 9's? How much faster do you think is needed before you stop making dumb-ass comments like that. Really, dude.

    .

    Making smug comments in an ill-attempt to be a smart-ass is pretty useless when look at the kind of results that they've achieved with this car.

  • @leafsrule16

    Engineering is not when some redneck using airplane engine or submarine engine to reach 6s. Engineering is when you using engine smaller than bottle of 40's beer and still catch up 6s.

  • @2jzgtejza80 True but its just so much easier to squeeze equivalent power out of a much larger engine and easier on the engine too since it takes lower compression, less mods cheaper ect.

  • @leafsrule16 You are right, but last time I checked installing turbo on V8 is more expensive than on 4 cyls. Also 4 cyls engine, means much less moving parts, and finally the bottom end can be stronger and thicker.

    Americans produced 4 cylinder engine about 290 or 300 CUI with huge bore and stroke, putting out 3000+hp with thickest bottom end I ever saw (3 times than Top Fuel drag engines).

    Configuration of engine is not important, DISPLACEMENT is important.

  • @2jzgtejza80 yeah but genereally most v8's are double the size of 4 cylinders

  • @leafsrule16 i would like to see you try to race this thing then well see whos got the micropenis

  • this car was in an issue of Hot Rod magazine

  • What on earth do you call those shifters? I want one.

  • its a air shifter.

  • believe me he has torque. how do u think he does wheelies? and on top of that thats thing is stroked from a 2.3>2.7.

  • @TPena92 so true buddy he have a stroked on it im agree w/u

  • sweet car! alot of time and work put into this thing it turned out nice and anyone with an appreciation for cars should know this

  • just saw this car in hotrod this car is awsome come on 9s with a four cyl thats awsome i tell ya

  • Briggs and Stratton power!!!!

  • Also look up any buschur racing EVO. They make low 9s all day with a full interior on pump gas.

  • Please stop hatin, don't compare new age tech to a car thas almost 30, as a car enthust,  i'd be a fool 2 say evo's arent fast, but for a four banger minus AWD and new age tech they haul ass these cars do whelies i havent seen an evo do 1 yet, reason if you dont they won't b half as fast, take away AWD an we get a grocery getter. besides 9's isn't the fastest they've run, if u wanna compare we go stok to stok, we can't do that, EVO's didn't exist back then, give the car it's respect it's earned

  • My bad man. Its a nice car. Its just that all the domestic guys are saying this car beats Japanese 4 bangers in their own game. Its a nice car. Both are fast cars.

    An Evo will never do a wheelie because its AWD.

  • No big i've seen plenty of EVOs & subies & supras beast on true hot rodders, but there is always somebody faster no matter how you look at it, i own a 2.3 an have handed recent cars there asses in an over weight tbird, but i've also got destroyed by others, if everybiody liked the same thing it'd b a really boring world, 4 me i'm with anything fast, i know an evo won't do a wheelie but ya neva seen anybody convert to 2 wheels, but hey my car without the turbo would prolly struggle on a ramp

  • Hello. There actually is a RWD EVO in the UK the engine has been remounted horizontally

  • Then i guess thats good for the people in UK, but in America we get FWD or AWD

  • Umm, i know that. Its the same in the UK. The shop made it RWD, i'll find a picture and msg u the link.

  • Agreed. I tune a few 4G63s that are similar. I *would* argue, however, that this is probably the most street driven of all the comparable fast 4 cylinder cars, though. He put 4000 miles on it this summer alone, on top of competeting in - and winning his class - in the Hot Rod Magazine "Drag Week" event, which is about as much of a test of "streetability" as you'll find, anywhere. Thanks for the level head and kind words, -Scott

  • Reason why evo's subarus, and other cars have turbo's is because of the FORD 2.3 Turbo motor, lol go back to your roots.

  • @TPena92 Well lol I guess. Not taking away from this car but a lot of haters on the other 4 bangers out there.

  • Dude the AMS evo makes this SVO look like a toy. Look up world's fastest EVO VIII. Fully street legal with A/C and everything.

  • people that say shit like this are dumb

    oh yea well if i turboed my john deer it would beat that evo

  • Lol awesome I love it.

  • is that the flux capacitor under the shifter?

  • @warsaw28 1.21 jiggawatts! holy poop batman!

  • creatine makes u bloaded

  • what is that setup called, when they have what looks like a bike brake on the shifter? is that like the clutch or something?

  • could be a trans brake.

  • wait wait does this make him a ricer???? to couse hes a four cylinder or does it have to be a honda i dont see not one shit talk bout this car couse its a mustang

  • 1)This mustang is totally not rice.

    2)There is no fart can present & it sounds vicious.

    3)There is no kind of weird body modification.

    4)Hondas are usually bowls of rice while Mustangs are bowls of creatine.

  • I dont consider the 2.3 ford to be a ricer, in my opinion its one of the best engines ford ever made

  • does it have a 10 foot wing, do you have to carefully plan your movment to pass a anything? do you fear minivans? a 4banger is not a ricer, i know quick hondas, any car an be made quick, like i said i know quick hondas, but adding an air filter doesn't give you 210 xtra hp, simply put a ricer has a car that looks xtremly fast an barely gets outta 4th gear at full throttle has extensive work just 2 gain 15hp, that is the ricer definition, u beat a stang while he didn't even know he was racin

  • I like it when a Turbo 32v 99ish Cobra races Him. Great Wheels up action shot as he WALKS past them! Not bad for a motor that goes into a PINTO!

  • 4 cylinders of doooooooooom!!!!!!

  • r cylinders of doooooooooooooom!!!!!

  • Does this car have a 5.0 head on it, or the dual cam head off of a volvo?

  • Its so fucking cool to see a 4 cyl other than a honda!

  • dont be jealous

  • who's jealous?

  • there's "street legal" and then there's "can be driven on the street"

    Many "street legal" cars, especially ones faster than this, don't have cooling or charging systems. If your faster 4-cyl car can take a 200 mile highway cruise to/from the track, and run a high 8 sec. be sure to post up!

  • but i forgot, now this is an argument of gas mileage....

    sure shep wont win there with 10 1800cc injectors...

    huber wins the fuel ecomomy you happy?

  • I've met John Shepherd. His car that you're referring to doesn't even have a cooling system - the block is full of hardblock. Look to the AMS evo if you want to compare apples to apples.

  • @dieselgeek

    How doesn't he have a cooling system when there are clearly coolant lines in his engine bay. Google the latest pics of his car. And um, you kinda need something to cool an engine anyways...cast iron does some strange things under extreme heat. One run on a solid block and it will crack once it cools.

  • SHows what you don't know - at Shep's level, his colling passages are 3/4 full of "Hard Block" epoxy that makes the block strong enough to make the power he does. The engine can't be run for more than a few minutes at a time. Also he runs Alcohol fuel which burns far cooler, and doesn't require much cooling system for track racing. Not streetworthy. Look into it.

  • Not even one of the fastest street legal 4 cylinders. I would guess this is a few thousand cars behind the fastest.

  • This is showing "Americans" dont need V8's to go fast. Who cares if it isnt the fastest, it aint slow. Nice Video!

  • @JayGeePee1 Don't need?Correct.It's not that we can't go fast without a v8,it's more of a why wouldn't we want to thing.

  • hey birdman jackass race engineering has 2600 2700 and 2850 stroker kits go figure i guess you are smarter then everyone else

  • and if you go well thats a v8 car please write john shepherd and ask him if his car is street legal and he will tell you in a professional manner that it is.

    end of discussion you are wrong

    john huber is fast but not fast enough

    2.7 stroker kits dont exist

    build one if you want

  • I hope your joking that the 2.7 kit doesnt exist. Well i guess it doesnt sinc emy kit is a 2.70 which is called a 2.8 kit from Esslinger. My block build is about the same as Hubers and has been proven to last years as a driver of take 100s of passes down the strip if tuned right. I dont have to clearence the block at all for the 2.8 kit. search "SVO Volvo head" for my other builds in google and video here.....Hal

  • Shepherd? his car is awesome fast, but even he will admit he can't drive it on the street for more than a few minutes.  How does it go down the highway when it's full of hard block, no cooling, and no charging system? how long can he run on alcohol with a 5 gallon cell? let us know how that works. :-)

  • in nhra for street legal cars that run 8s and if that hurts your heart also then im sure theres no hope anymore for the huber mustang zoom zoom...

  • better yet why dont you do to my fucking page and view the movie called erics car.

    its a station wagon that pulls wheelies at the track and its street legal. this car runs 8s in the quarter and 5.30s in the 8th mile it rides around on dot raidals and has full lights turn signals and a cut out on the exhaust if im not mistaken.

    but lemme guess thats a v8 car with a parachute its not street legal it has a chute it goes like a bazillion miles per hour how could it be? remember they have classes

  • 2.5 motors themself suffer from bad deadtime because of there angle of stroke also, i still have yet seen you prove the point that the 2.7s stroke will not hit the block or if that even exists because of so much deadtime allready with a 2.5

    but on to the next question, you say that different states have laws on street legal cars, as long as it has lights full steel chassis and not a tube turn signals and some states a cat on it the exhaust its legal and if you disagree you sir are a dumbass.

  • i seriously encurage the owner of this video to do a little google search about john shep.

    or go to shep racing, or even email the guy.

    i think the only argument he has on shep is how many passes shep can make before he rebuilds his engine, but then again you could say that for john huberts 2.7 stroked mustang bahahah!!!

    thats like the stroke of god

    but yea enough of this jobber jabber for now i wanna read the responces and laugh

  • lol do your research there was a car BEFORE the svo called the mustang turbo. the development of the mst was then put into the svo and all 2.3's. Id like to see ANY eclipse have the reliability of john huberts car. there like bombs reads to blow at any moment. I never said it was faster then the eclipse i dont know why your arguing that fact, as for the block its a pinto block not the stock 2.3 from the mustangs. the oil pan is a larger 6 quart custom one.

  • I knew a guy who had a Mustang GT turbo I think it was an 83 or so... No intercooler but it was a quick lil 4 cyl.

  • and dont say the rangers that are 2.5 dont wear out, thats a n/a motor thats a different specie there also...

  • so agressive.i would be honored to see a street legal car thats stroked to a 2.7 with pics of how far the stroke is, because theres studies that show that after doing a 2.3 turbo block with the 2.5 stroke that it ovals out the block after about 13k miles and it cannot be used anymore because the 2.5 stroke is soo agressive.enlighten me super2ner please? do they cut the bottom of the block to let the piston thats sideways straighten back out when it goes up with a 2.7?

  • came soooo close to hitting the bottom of the motor because the stroke on a 2.5 is

  • I guess it is just hard for the jap car tuner guys to admit defeat by yet another american engine, when they got so tired of not being able to compete with v8 power. Tough to get beat at your own game, especially by 30 year old technology, huh? Nice car! Keep up the good work!!

  • like 40 psi of boost?

  • Its a fast mustang quit bitching about how your import is better or whatever your fanboying about

  • sr20ett from s14 or s15 have good tuning potencial too...veeeeeeery good

  • Bwahh!! fuckin nice man.

  • Even our 4 cylinders are better than imports. Take that you ricers. Detroit American built cars 4 life!!!

  • As a fan of the ford 2.3T I can say that's not exactly true - the head SUCKS.

    The motor is otherwise well built, yes.

    Also a Fox's chassis sucks stock fyi

  • LOL lmao its just another 4 banger with a turbo. You turbo an import same shit dumb ass ROFL

  • Actually not really. I've seen stock bodied Toyota Supras and Skylines running in the 9's, but that's also a 3.0 to 3.0+ liter 6 cylinder engine. We're talking about a Stock Bodied 2.3 Liter 4 cylinder car that weighs over 3500 pounds, and to be honest I don't see many 4 cylinder stock bodied imports run under 10 seconds.

  • I agree 100%, this car is an all steel car, all glass car. Lets see a 240SX do this.

  • i have seen a 240sc full weight run a 9.07 with a ka24det so sorry there

  • Well I haven't seen it so...... send me a vid.

  • OMG I got the regular 2.3l Turbo on my 81 Stang, ain't very fast... Yours' amazing

  • nice sunroof

  • I was driving my company van down from Seattle back home to Portland, OR and I saw a huge convoy of turbo Mk4 Supras. On the highway! And these fellas had parachute packs and all that. It inspired me to purchase some sort of RWD 4-cylinder car to build like this. Nice frikkin Mustang, bro. I'm looking into getting a 4-banger to build for cheap. Any suggestions please?

  • Another good 4 banger rwd would be the Nissan 240sx.

  • i like all wheel drive, 3000gt vr4 or dodge stealth. They are awd v6 twin turbos.

  • Hehe, I can actually say that I have owned a Dodge Stealth, the FWD normally aspirated one from 1991, but it was still a blast in the teeth lol. And there's two guys that own VR-4's here in my hometown with locked diffs and huge trubos and they race each other AND the cops.

  • this is definately not the fastest street legal four cylinder

  • Street legal? maybe not since some peopel are willing to drive their alcohol burning race cars that have no cooling or charging system on the street - but for daily drivability on pump gas, there are no 4-bangers faster than this. Tell your pals to drive to St Louis and we'll race them...

  • i know at least for mr2s that run 9.s and drive to the drag strip and those are low nines not barely 9s

  • keep in mind this car pulls 9s on pump gas

  • Not the fastest street legal 4 cylinder. Ever heard of a Volkswagen bug? Do some research.

  • show us some links to the 8-second pump gas VW... that's gotta be awesome!

  • I found that the 4g63 eclipse is the fastest 4banger there is a video on here just search for fastest eclipse or fastest 4g63 something that similar

  • no the bug is not faster then brent rau's eclipse

  • Yes Brent Rau's eclipse is very fast.  It's also a fully built race car with a fiberglass body, not a stock bodied Mustang.

  • check out dsmtuners for people that run mitsushitshis street driven 8 second passes...

    if you need proof ill have to post the urls for ya if i have to... :o

  • and is faster on race gas

  • yea im talking about pump gas, these guys drive to the track and then go to work with them the next day

  • this car has now gone 8.96 on DOT radials...

  • 8.5 on baumgartners mr2

  • 9.72@143.8 is his fastest time

  • Actually the Lima 2.3 was built in Ford's plant in Lima, Ohio.

  • hell yea, thats john huber right there!

  • thank god its not an import engine. i thought you had ruined the stang, lol

    just havin some fun with the tiny pinto

  • badass!!!!

  • nice setup.

  • you have to excuse these idiots that think that's an import engine in your car! after fast and the furious ppl think that imports were the only cars to use a turbo! not knowing that way before these so called "tuners" saw their infamous movie ford had a lil 2.3turbo mustang!

  • Also, that is NOT an "import" engine. It's the 2.3 liter "Pinto" engine, modified for racing, that came in the car originally. The naturally aspirated version came in Ford trucks and cars for years.

  • Shep's car runs on Alcohol, doesn't have an alternator and can't drive more than a few miles "on the street." This mustang has competed in Hot Rod's Drag Week twice, over 1500 miles cross country while running low nine second quarter mile times. This car is driven *daily.*

    Show me a car that at least has an alternator, and runs on gasoline, that beats an 8.96 @ 153mph, if you want to take the title from this one. -dieselgeek

  • let me correct myself. its the fastest 4 cyl.

    sorry about that.

    and also not adding that is an import in a ford body... dam doesnt that suck also??

  • for all you douche bags that think that car is the fastest street legal car it isnt.

    john shepherds all wheel drive street legal car is, dont believe me?? look it up on here or yahoo.

    this mustang is fast yes but not the fastest.

    the 2.3t 4 cyl turbo motor is german not american so for you guys saying ricer fags you make no sence. the 2.3 motor caim out in the merkurs then went to ford keeping the same design in the late 80s

    so its an import guys!!

    sorry to bust your american muscle balls.

  • You need to get some facts straight. See my responses above. Shepherd's car is neither a "street legal" car nor even close to "street equipped" Also, the 2.3 engine is American Domestic. Don't post if you have no clue what you're talking about.

  • Dude I live 15 minutes From John Shepherd and up until a year ago his car WAS completely street legal and faster than this car...he has OHIO plates on it. Maybe its not street legal where you guys are from...but in this part of ohio I could Make ANYTHING with tires and an engine street legal... SO QUIT WHINING and Making excuses like u mustang boys always do.....SHEP will OWN this Mustang and you KNOW it...SO stop cryin

  • Actually, if you re-read before you respond, Shepherd's "street legal" car had no alternator; run on Alcohol; has NO COOLING SYSTEM - it can run on the street for a few miles, this car is driven nearly daily, competed in Hot Rod Magazine's Drag week where it drove 1500+ miles on the same engine. Shepherd's car is nowhere near "streetable" even if it's legal. Tell him to drive it to St. Louis and we'll race him.

  • Not talking shit, but check into a good friend of mine, his name is Jake Montgomery. He runs 8.9's or better all day long, and is street legal AND he used to daily drive the car everyday. Only reason he doesn't anymore, is he is now converting it into a 100% Drag Car.

    I love the mustang though man, very nice run. :)

  • shepherds car is street legal, write him on his website, he drives it on the street, so i think that i threw that back in your face there

  • lemme add something to how you believe it ant street legal also...

    the alternator is relocated, if you go to buschur racing they sell alternator relocation kits because when you do make high hp on high rev 4 cyl engines they can overcharger, and for the street legalness, its has freaking brembo 3000gt dual piston brake setup, its a full interior not no tube chassis and all electronics work.

  • next off I dnt own a honda I own a 2.5 liter stroked turbo 93 mustang lx. lol you saind like a ricer trying to make a point. youve never owned a 2.3 turbo so admit it and plz stfu. Ive put 53k miles since the rebuild and havent had a problem (even when doing low 12's high 11's at richmond dragway. You make no sence and your pointd are invalid. the street legalness is not determined by what the car has on ,it is state laws. the brake setup could be from a ferrari it could still fail.

  • yea, i dont own a 2.3 turbo... yea its not sitting in my garage with the origional top mount innercooler, yea i dont have the vane air meter or the uncut wire harness..

    naa my brother in law never made a 2.5 volvo head merkur either. i have nooo clue what im talking about here..

    no did i never do circle track drag racing either with a 2.3 or my dd is a 200k mile ranger.

    i know nothing im sorry

  • I own 2 XR4tis and you could not be more wrong. The cars may have been built in germany, but the engines were not even installed there. They were called the "LIMA" engine because they were built in South America. The engine dates back way further than the "late 80's too." Its an American engine, pure and simple.

  • Also, the '85 SVO produced 205hp stock, don't know where you guys are getting your information...

  • Where are you getting yours? the 85.5-86 had 205 HP

  • Called Lima's due to them being built in Loma, Ohio...

  • They were also built in South America

  • they were built in mexico.

  • lol your very WRONG the engine was out of a mustang turbo, no not the svo but the original mustang turbo, this was the first use of froged internals on a ford 2.3 engine car. The engine was originaly derived from the ford pinto. this is the engine that is in the car now. its a stroked 2.7 liter. he never said it was the fastest QUOTE"One of the fastest street legal turbo 4-cylinder cars in the world" which it is. The car was the fastest street legal 4 banger until he when to alcohol.

  • i dont ever recall hearing of a car called the mustang turbo, ive heard of the svo but not a mustang turbo.

    and as for the 2.7 liter stroked? you can stroke me if you want me to believe that.

    theres only the 2.5 stroker kit and thats them adding the newer style 2.5 crank out of the 95 and up rangers i believe.

    and as for the quote part... if you knotice this argument started 11 months ago and the title to the clip was fastest 4 cyl car in the world.

    so yea

    <===3

  • also let me add super2ner since your name sounds like you own a honda also...find me that 2.7 stroker kit, because ive owned the 2.3 turbo engine out of a 86 turbo coupe and ive owned a 2.5 ranger n/a motor and have personally seen a 2.5 stroker motor and watched as the rods

  • See the 6 sec 1/4 mile eclipse and tell me whose the fastest 4 cylinder watch?v=X6RiTu7OrhE

  • holy shit that i think is the only 4cylinder car i mite shit my shelf in

  • i love how u hear it spool up then the launch is just uh..funny i think lol..hops bout 2 inches then boom bat outta hell

  • thats what im talking about beat them imports at their own game with a american 4 cylinder

  • an* American 4 cyl === learn your own language

    then realize that 105hp stock is pathetic. a fucking civic has it beat by 1hp. its just pathetic

  • your dumb what you think 4 cyl means

  • ooooohhh 1 hp ha thats all 1 lousy hp dude give me a break

  • the svo turbo 2.3 aren't 105hp stock they are something like 140. Doesn't matter anyway this engine is nowhere near stock not even in displacement. It was in a mustang mag some months back. btw where the hell did you get 105hp from?

  • i think the 105hp he was referring to was how much the 1979 mustang 2.3l ohv non turbo has. i have the 79 non turbo, it has 88hp and i already smoked a civic with it 12 years ago on the highway., hey civic dude, go race jon hubers 7 sec mustang....bitch! fox body stangs rule!

  • that is the quickest street 4 cylinder in existance-beating imports at their own game-face it ricerfags imports suck.

  • lol, first of all, who brags over 1 extra hp?

    second of all, that car isnt stock, so who cares how much hp it had stock? third of all, why do you think its a 4 cylinder? do u think 4 cylinder means v16 killer?

  • Ok...

    its *ONE* of the fastest *Street-legal* 4 cylinders in the world, making 9s/8s.

    This guy making this car, is an insult to American car manufacturers, if anyone.

    IF you want to go this route with a car of your own you'll find the imports tuner after-market to be cheaper, easier, and to have more variety.

    American manufacturers despise low-displacement engines, and other tuner-centric designs.

    They are changing this, slowly...

    ...but only due to lost sales to imports!

  • and how do you know?

  • Im going down the road of this car now. I have a holset HE351VE turbo ( yes i found the way to wire the vgt!!!!!),ported head, stinger manifold, 3 inch custom exhaust and down pipe, megasquirt stand alone system, la3 computer, right now im making 356 rwhp at only 20 psi and i can go alot higher but i want to keep it street tuned. I did ALL this for under 1500 usd 2400 usd including the car. Dosnt sound all that expensive to me. How many imports can get that kind of power that cheaply?
