    Sorry, I got you confused with someone else with a turbo setup. Great work looks awesome!

    500HP?! Maybe I should send you my R58! I will have to go back and read this whole build.

    Mark did a great job on the Helmet so the only room I have to make it better is HP. The question how much can I get out of an N14 engine before I have to open the bottom end. I would like to be able to get it to 250 or 275 at the wheels without doing a complete rebuild

    Well the point is the N14 is a shit motor for modding.

    I agree it is not the best motor to mod. The JCW N14 is slightly different. I believe reinforced webbing in the block and upgraded pistons. I will have to look it up agin

    If it isn't, its got to be darn close... That's got to be a hoot to drive when your in the power band. I would love to see the face on people behind you when the flame comes out. I thought mine was a BBQ.. yours is a blowtorch.
