What High Power Engine would you put in an RX?... V10??

Wouldn\'t the lag be monumental if remote mounted

Their systems are designed to be mounted at the back and are no more laggy than front mounted turbos, however if you were to put them at the front of the car they do not perform as well:  I think their actual turbo\'s (housings etc..) are designed for this purpose.

Theres plenty of articles on the web about them

Quite innovative - especially since their claims seem valid.

It begs the question of the cooling properties of all that pipework and maybe a massive FMIC is not required to get the intake temps down?

you can buy a centrifugal type supercharger which works like a turbo and flows like a turbo but is turned by the crank.   it would be quite big,  we fitted one to the tripple FD but have now gone over to turbo although i think if we had perservered it would have worked.  It can sit in front of the block.    We went for a Vortec but changed to a pro charger.  

initially i\'d be happy for 525 lbt and 500 bhp but there is always next year!

so would a stock an LS2 from a GTO be any good.?   I assume its the same as an LS2 from a corvette

I know people have used LS2s, but probably more expensive than a LS1 or LS6 - I think they are a more recent engine (2005+)

They have a forum about conversions.

I *think* you can mix and match things too if you do your research, like using a LS7 cylinder block (7.0L) and various other bits from other models of engine (don\'t quote me on that!)

not all gto,s are ls2 powered some are 5.7 people pay a premium for ls2s when you can get a ls1 to put out more power for less money ,the ls7 blocks are big money so forget them and they are dry sump so the cranks are longer . remember you can stroke a 5.7 to 6.3 with forged pistons and steel rod probably for less money than a ls2,but remember its not all about ccs its got to flow !!
