how much killer wasps does a supercharged bug motor make?

It varies a lot. Depends on how much you change the compression & timing and what charger/inlet/exhaust etc. Seen a couple close to the 150HP mark though.

All of which (especially the jetski) are water cooled? :P

arhhh yes, i now see your point... very true...

although im not sure about the Lexus, when you pop the hood all i see is a massive plastic cover...

so who knows whats going on under there, probably a big Japanese mouse on a wheel...?

also, you didn't tell me you were paying :P

also, there are laws that prevent that engine fitting.

Now you're just getting carried away :P

slight difference in air temperature/volume/density that cools that one :P

its a 41L just a lazy 2500 cubes lol

that will fit yeah?

That's bigger than the car!

The combined bore sizes are bigger than the length of the car ffs!

So? The point is that 150HP is not enough. And being air cooled is no excuse :P

Isn't that the one that caused most of the b29's to crash and explode in flames?

Probably. They should have used a Merlin.

It's plenty enough for a car and engine that size.

You wanna buy me a Porsche engine and pay for the conversion and mod plating, be my guest. Otherwise, direct bolt in FTW :P

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
