Default Wats New 400bhp Worth?
as above 400bhp standard comp, head flowed to 450bhp, high pre oil pump, cosworth racing pistons, fully redone top to bottom, i got this engine built for my ecos to be very sharp and as little lag as possible but im thinking of selling it on as i might be heading to australia... i'd say max power would be round 430bhp. don't hav any pics as im away for th rest of week. built by CARWISE UK. oh it hasn't been run in yet either, wat you peolpe think, cheers hugh

why would you build a high comp 400bhp engine....

Standard comp is ok for that....

But 2-3k....depending on parts used.
