Optimistic yes, But I have bee reding about this thing for 4 years now. I've been following a lot of installs and dyno tune from all over the world, Jap, england, USA. From cars that have the engine in them from stock and once that are made from tubular frams with the Duratec mounted sideays. I should see some good numbers.

Also, I might be adding a custom 80mm TB. We'll see.

ya very optimistic john, i have seen some stuff floating around fj, Egz made 201 whp on his 2.3l hatch. not only did he have a cosworth IM, he has cams, fully built motor 12.1 CR piston, worked head on it and fully custom tune. so if say i put this on my car. realisitcally from the last dyno i was 139 whp. so your telling me JUST from this i will see 160-180 whp when a completely worked 2.3l only made 201?

ya not happening. also i wouldnt bother with that throttle body. would be pointless as the 67mm cossie TB is made to match the IM, therefore you would have 13mm of useless bore. do you have any idea how much you will bog??? mustangs dont usually go that big man and the SVT only really went to a 70mm.

i really want to see where you are reading this from because in all honesty, a IM will not give you even 10hp on a N/A engine that just has intake and exhaust work. to see these gains, your looking at FRPP head, stage 2-3 cams and high compression pistons with valve relief. at that point you would be comming up on the 180-190 whp mark.

sorry to i guess ruin it for you but realistically how can a IM give you 15-30% gain? unless you are turbo maybe... not without a snail im afraid
