Hi Brent, HP is dynoed 180 at the wheels. Cost of injection would be about $3000-3500 NZD. Cheers John.

picture of the modified airbox, It was cut in half so that it can expand with the growth of the engine.

That air filter housing is well made-I can see many,many hours of work there.I was going to try and adapt something from a modern car,but I have bought a TIG welder recently, and have plenty of 1.6mm aluminium,so may start something from scratch.

Yes the airbox is a work of art, all handmade from aluminum sheet. Inside the box it has a k&n filter from a VW golf. The whole thing was mocked up out of cardboard forst to see how it was going to fit. There's actualy four seperate pipes going to the throttle bodies which are then wrapped in alloy sheet to give a seamless look.
