The KL was turbo'd in the 626MPS concept car. Twin turbo in fact, with the ZE manifold, but likely lowered compression for turboing.

On the 626 Concept was the final horsepower with the twin turbo? and was it custom or is there a company that makes a turbo for the engine?

Most of the car that I have seen are never rated above the 280hp mark. <BR>Honda NSX- 270 hp<BR>R34 Skyline GTR - 280hp<BR>Mazda RX-7(Gen 3&4)- 270hp<P>But with some upgrades these cars will gain alot of horespower. Usually requires intake, exhaust and sometimes program upgrades to get them up past the 300hp range.

If they go over a certain horsepower their insurance goes skyhigh...So, most cars stay right around 280..
