I think you will find he means as a package the strengh of the 4G63 engine is very good in standard format, also they are modern cars and possibly there are less moody ones around with owners trying to bump up power with the rest of the car dragging behind ??

Just a thought

there is an aluminium block used in drag racing which is designed to handle 800 bhp unfortunately it is a little pricey at 3-4 k but at least it works so there is hope for engine just no hope for your wallet lol

Turbosystems, got any pictures of it?

I take it that the design is a fair bit different, like 6 bolt mains or similar, as obvioulsy you would expect it to be weaker not stronger being aluminium if the design was the same?
