[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 162416, member: 97"] "sifu jipster"???????? I must insist that you not address me in this manner. I feel deeply disturbed as I am not worthy of such a title :) Anyway, from what I understand, the cost and trouble involved may not be worth your while i.e. result you get may not be comensurate with time/money taken. I read somewhere recently that if you get a nice healthy M20B25 engine and put in some headers or cams (or both) you are already looking at [I]maybe[/I] 185-190bhp while a 2.7 stroker conversion [I]could[/I] get you 210bhp and both would probably be more reliable in the long run coz they would still be operating within their design specs. 190/210bhp is already plenty powerful on our roads or even for track. It may not be a scooby or an evo but they are not bmws either. [/QUOTE]
