Post some pics of your kit so people could see what we are getting into.

If its 2 thousand canadian, I am interested also, but want to see physical proof that this is being done. Everybody wants a good deal, no one wants to get scammed.

So post some pics of the progress and some more people, like me may jump on board this buy.

What would the estimated output be of mildly modified klze be boosted at 5 psi?

How much power would this kit give on a K8?
the K8 is more boostfriendly than the KL_ZE due to lower compression.

IMO you could push the k8 aorund 200hp on stock stuff (injectors, internals)...but hey..I never did it myself so I couldn't tell you for sure

The K8 although is a cure engine.. is not really a good choice to turbo, not that it is bad to turbo, but lets look at the basic facts here. KLZE engine is 200hp if you manage to get a real one.. boosting the K8 with a turbo kit will bring it up to the same hp as the klze easy.. you push anymore air in though on that k8 and youll rape it really fast.. the main thing though is the price .. why sink money into a weak engine? really.

KLZE=200hp for 1200$ Canadian you can buy
Turbo kit for k8 or ze approximiatle 2000-2500$

So as you see it is better for you just to get the KLZE and approach making a performance car in more serious manner :)

Regardless if you want to go sick ... you will be buying forged rods, injectors, turbo kit and controllers... your at about 5k at that point easy ... economically if you want sick fast things buy a used talon or an isuzu rs for a couple grand it will cost you less.
