****! thats not bad at all, assuming we have 30% loss through the drivetrain that comes out to 190-200kw at the flywheel. your torque figures is what i was more impressed with, 260ft-lb ! good stuff.

Bumping this thread.
For the price you spent id say this is fine? It keeps it reliable while making it competitive (if not faster because of your torque curve) than a few more modern v6's.
Looking at rebuilding my vx's engine...Its done 240,000 km's. So this thread was a big help.
Do you still have the car? How did it run in? Do anything else? f/i?

No mate the car no longer runs. A year back I did a routine inspection of the car and I left the radiator cap off, and went driving, it didn't even overheat for 20 odd minutes but the damage was done. It took 8 litres of coolant to fill it back up but I had cooked the engine. The engine I had built to last for many years I have destroyed by nothing more than forgetting the radiator cap, drove me nuts.
