Hi guys. The insides of this motor look pretty promising. Other than the rods and pistons, the rest looks decently strong. I do have to sonic test the walls, and may go so far as to machine out a sleeve just to see what type and how thick of material was used. Either way being that it is a factory turbo motor, it has to be stronger than a honda block.
In stock form I would expect that this wouuld hold around 400 whp, but only time will tell. Also the tune up has to be on or 250whp would destruct it.
Not as good as a DSM 4g63 but can't complain with 400whp on any stock motor. Went by pohanka today and for a black Manual Trans 2.0 turbo track edition it was going to be $32k. Seems a bit overpriced for what i've been researching for prices 27k is about the most really i'd be willing to pay. They have a base model there grey 4cyl But i didn't have time to test drive to see how i felt about the car period. Maybe next week we shall see.
