You think right. Found by Mr Ben too.
All it failed it's test on was a cracked windscreen and missing back box. Felt like it would go forever tbh!

Yeah another mate picked one up for £90. Maybe I'll go trawling the local scrappies...

aghh decisions!!
original plan was to run a sr20de lump, that also has about 160bhp. obviously a b230et would be more tuneable BUT i reckon the sr20de saves around 15/20kg over the front axle plus no lag at all.
Probally as good options as eachother on paper anyways

B230FT without a doubt. Will have much more torque than the SR20de and the standard 13c spools up so fast theres barely any lag! Added to the fact it'll all just bolt up and 200bhp is yours for pittance! 20kg is offset by the greater torque anyway
