I got one of these a few months ago too. I thought they were unavailable, but have a good connection in the dealership circle.
I think it was around $1000 bare though. By "nothing fancy" I still mean 180-200whp on pump gas, NA. |

After reading Quinn's build over on cr.net, its had me thinking about building the BP4W head I have sitting on the shelf and skipping VVT, but I'd hate to give up the low/mid range torque.

I like Emilio's method of building, confirming and then telling. My bench-racing skills are legendary for their inflation factor. :)

I've heard that as an excuse for not installing a larger turbo (don't want the lag of a bigger unit) except that on the track or during spirited driving yours rpm's will already have negated that point. BTW, I'm not advocating a position but just making an observation. |

Ah, no. The idea that VVT engines only make additional torque below the lowest RPM seen on track is quite fallacious. Especially with a 5-speed, ~4500rpm is not an unreasonable minimum RPM to expect on a road course. |
