Using it as a base for an engine using a GTR RB26 head and a fappin massive turbo creates a very special engine, like in the vids.

Articles thatd tell u a bit more
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0042/article.html
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_1560/article.html

Here it is in original single cam form (and STILL over 750bhp, lol)
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0485/article.html

Some good reading Steve, apart from the first paragraph which is just a load of bollox!!!

'With world-class engine management, advanced turbos and a thorough engine build, we saw AVO extract 705hp from this Godzilla motor. That's 526kW, or around four times the power of your average family car! Its specific power output is even more astonishing - 235 horsepower per litre! A 200SX can muster 'only' 100 horsepower per litre... What other streetable engine could even begin to compare?'

a BDA in a Mk2 Escort thats tuned to works spec.

when standing in the forest watching a rally you hear it minutes before you see it, winding its way through the forest, by the time the car reaches you its a defening roar. nothing like 'em makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

I have that video Rich and will post it for you if some one can tell me how lol

Does sound very cool
