Have you bushed or filled the front and rear mounts? The front one in particular won't last five minutes with that power otherwise!

I think either would do the job Imo. But id probably go with the full mount with that power!! I will be running inserts in mine.

No experience running a poly insert with that power lol, but it's so stiff, I've got no worries about it being able to cope - it's not budging!!!

Also depends how long you want to wait - you can get the inserts within a day or 2, the other mounts will take

a week or so

from the states?

Bloody hell mate! Not checked your profile for a few weeks and your 60bhp better off!
Good going buddy! Can't wait to see it at japshow. Got me thinking about going turbo instead of NA now

I have some poly inserts you can have mate. I'll bring them to Japshow with me.

Will have to go back though as daz reckons because the exhaust downpipe is so restrictive it could be holding back as much as 20bhp

Do you have any plans to get that sorted out? I noticed there is quite a difference in RPM between peak power (7231) and peak torque (5489) so I did the maths (torque x rpm / 5252 = BHP). When you hit peak torque you are only producing 228.0 bhp, like wise when you hit peak BHP you are only producing 190.5lb/ft. Resulting in the rate of power increase dropping off over 5489 rpm.

How do you go about moving peak torque up the rev range?
Does increasing peak torque also result in it moving further up the rev range?

Comparison with the NA engine I bought off Dino:

Lude Generation
