20V is it worth the change?

Hi byd1380,

The toyota black top 20v engine is rated @165 BHP on japanese fuel which is a 100 RON+ in Japan.When they are dynoed over here in Ireland they tend to make 145BHP thus loosing 15 BHP through lack of octane and transmission loss.

However you are still up 15 BHP on a standard 4age 16 valve and it's a much fresher engine.I am currently building one at the moment for my company down in Southern Ireland.I can give you a list of the bits you need and can also source them for you if interested

I met a guy in Japan when i was there in Jan 07 on a track day at Fuji circuit who had a AE86 trueno with a black top 20v in his car and all i can say was that it was an amazing car to go with a 10,000 rev limit....pretty sweet and sounded awesome as well.
