Whats the performance like on these compared to say a rev3 turbo

[oBladeo]

t's the torque that makes these conversions interesting. Same as V8 Supras. 200 BHP isn't the end of the story...

Not much in it I would say. Mine certainly feels at least as quick as it was as a turbo. It's a totally different drive though, so much low down grunt you don't need to stir things with the gearlever much!

See my post in members profiles for more pics.

They're not as quick as a rev 3 turbo on standard boost. I think the 0-60 is just over 6 secs. The V6 does have good torque and sounds great but I'd still rather have a turbo as they have so much tuning potential and I love the kick you get.

So your saying it could be quicker?

I like the V6's and i do think there a nice drive.

Ive had quite a few cars that have a v6 engine in them, I've yet to find one thats been as quick as my tubby, even when it was bone stock.

Well, I do know of a test done recently on the road, & a well sorted rev 3 (but with standard boost) couldn't shake off a V6 right on it's tail, & that didn't have a stand alone ECU like mine has, so.......................
