BTW 200whp is a lot more than swapping a BB in the car ... granted it's easier and cheaper to get more power out of a turbo motor but the reliability and smooth power band of the VVL motor is so nice ... plus if you really want to go all out get a SR20vet motor than you will be the shit

Dont get me started. 159 torque is what really counts and that BLOWS. You hav obviusly never owned a turbo car if you think they arent reliable with up'ed boost. Its all about the tune.

And your friend has alot of work done and still dynos lower than a bluebird avenier or pulsar swap stock.

Half Baked on here had a stock as hell avenier swap and dynoed 202hp 205 torque. So no actually you are wrong about making more power off the bat with the ve.

sr20ve's are cool to cruise around in. basically its like a gsr motor. Naturally aspirated, revs high but wont be as fast as a turbo car with the same work.
