My KL-DE with SS Autochrome headers, 2.25" SS JPC catback system, Magnaflow catalytic converter, 1.8 flywheel and Unorthodox Racing underdrive crank pulley:

1st to 4th (4,59MB)
2nd to 4th (3,24MB)
Coded with XviD

Sorry that the camera jumped when shifting between 1st and 2nd.

yea macen you can take her a little higher you were shifting looks like right before 6500, missing 300 more rpms of power

I took the rev "background" and needle from a 1.6L because I broke the needle of the old one. I will try to change it back to the old background.
Yes, I know that I can rev a bit more, but why should I? When shifting, I still am in "VRIS land" and have plenty of power.

The purpose of the videos was not to be as fast as posible, just to hear the sound.

Damn, now I have to do this swap....
Hm, maybe I should start writing a request for a permit from "Bilprovningen"... Fat chance that ever happening....

-nope

Do you really think that they will notice the difference between the engines?
They never take a closer look at my engine when doing the yearly test at "Bilprovningen".

Probably not, but if I were to be involved in an accident, and they check the numbers stamped on the block and compare it to whats supposed to be in the car, I could be in severe trouble.

not sure if I want to risk that if possible.

-nope
