What do people think ot this?
« on: August 22, 2009, 10:20:04 pm »
Found this while looking at some bits n bobs and was wondering what people think of kits like this and has anybody done this? Oh and is it worth it?

has anyone ever fitted a smaller pulley, chip, air filter and a cam?  well yeah, loads of people have!

Seems very expensive and 155bhp seems a bit optimistic

To be fair though you do get pretty much a whole engine. If you bought that when the exchange rate was at its best it might not have been the end of the world. Add up how much it is to recon/upgrade the charger, cyl head, pistons and the forged cock crankshaft lol. and its a lot of money.
