Default Andi's V6 KL swap

This is one of the toughest conversions we ever made. A 2.5L V6 KL swap with an ITB. We had many issues with the car until it was ready to go on the street. But at the end we solved every problem and now the car runs fine. The block is bored from 2.5L to 2.6L equipped with Wiseco pistons and K1 conrods, main and conrod bearings are Toga high performance bearings. The head got solid cam followers with different camshaft and an individual throttle body. The engine produces 250hp with an airbox on the ITB and 300hp without the airbox.

Specs:
- 2.6L KL
- Wiseco pistons
- K1 conrods
- Toga high performance main and conrod bearings
- Catcams camshafts
- solid cam followers
- custom ITB
- custom airbox
- mishimoto radiator
- BC Racing BR-series coilover
- DIY microsquirt ECU
- Rota RKR 8x15" 10mm offset rims

Exotic engine sounds start at 7:20 on video. That's great power for the engine size.

I'd love to see what the torque curve looks like if you have the dyno chart. Also, where is the horsepower peak?

That looks like a fun Power Band. Roughly 175 foot pounds of torque across that Peak plateau.

Very nice but I'm biased. These are super smooth and sound great.
