What do you think the 1.6L Coldside will make?

should I have added a "200" choice? :)

250+ :biggrin:

and why even have a 141rwhp choice? Any competent tuner would know that if one is running an MP62 and only at 141rwhp with 10psi, it is a blown engine waiting to happen.

Actually though seriously, I think I we can get in the 180ish range with optimal tuning on 91 octane. She's a strong one skippy :)

One would think? Maybe that is if the blower is turning the wrong way?

If we can't do any better than 141 WHP non-intercooled, we'll stop calling ourselves engineers. Any competent design engineer with even a fleeting knowledge of internal combustion engines could do better than that.

You may want to create a forum for buys of 1.8 drive trains sporting torsen rear ends.

I see Bill has indoctrinated at least 2 of you to vote for 180+. I hope you are correct. LOL

We have been pushing for more power before you hired Bill - he just gave us reason to raise the bar (dual meaning intended).
