I think it's ridiculous. What the hell is the point of all that power? If you want to see big power go look at industrial trucks/tractors, highway trains, jet engines- friggen rocket ships for f*cks sake!

What i like to see is fast lap times, balance, massive traction, an ALL-rounder.

Making massive power in a mass produced engine is great, but it's a waste- WE get it. We've flown to the moon, and sent satellites to Mars. Mankind has made more than 2041kw. Many a time.

Move on.

Its all about the application...sure its not going to be a suitable setup for track...since apparently thats what you like to see...but for other applications like drag it might actually work really well...and its all about showcasing what you can do with a certain engine/setup...so to call it ridiculous is rather narrowminded...

GAS Motorsport got theirs to 1999* horses I believe... Pretty impressive seeing as how we haven't had one single jap engine to over engineer for the last 15 years unlike the yanks :)

*In an engine testing facility, not in the car.

Still, great engine... thanks for trying to start yet another turf war :)

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
