K-series engine history, 300bhp possibility

Ha ha After seeing the new toys on yours thats what went striaght on the list as an alternative to the type R

Having said that I have a never ending list, an it seems the expensive stuff are the only bits left on it

I think it would sort of put it in the range of the rest of the car and make it a nice balance all round

We can do that just talk to me nicely :evil:

Good Morning Quicksilver, how are you today? I trust you had a great weekend?

Thank you for your kind greeting can I assist you in something? :lol:

he holds the current record for tuned K-Series engines :up

pretty sure theres no one in the UK more experienced with the K-Series...

Circa 280bhp on N/A engine...

Oz.

For sure DVA have a good rep, personally I would use John Wilcox if I wasnt building them myself

All this kind of talk could get me into a lot of trouble thanks to a conversation I had with my wife before I got the TF.

Mrs. H. "You're not going to become a tinkerer and want to fiddle and change things on this car are you?"
Me. "No, dear, that's why I'm going to get the TF160 so it doesn't need anything."

So far it's only been little things like LED interior lights and new misting washer jets or necessary changes like the new roof but more power is so so tempting.

Funnily, I have always been happy with the power of our mpi.:shrug:

I never want to do more than the speed limit, and scooting around country lanes with the top down doesn't need any more power than the 118bhp.

Yup - and the man with the red flag runs out of puff! :woohoo:

Different things for different people I suppose. I love acceleration, not too bothered about top end though. Even the 174bhp isn't enough

Got to stop every 10 miles to stock up with Werther's originals too.:rofl:

You only get 10 miles to the packet? Must be something wrong there, surely.

I share them with the guy who carries the red flag.:lol:

What to much power can lead to
