RMW 1.8L Stroker with C38 FMIC kit 80mm pulley
VS 1.6L M45 with 17% and RMW tune
Gives you a perspective of just how stupid this car really is...........

Is this on your GP or someone else's?
I thought you had a 2.0L?

it's a 1.8 strocker now. I believe he felt the 1.8 stroker was the best fit for the larger rotrex kits over the 2.0L.
correct me if I'm wrong Jan.

Very nice numbers on the dyno for the Rotrex C38 but it will cost me an arm and a leg to get that (if I go to that way). Only if I get this power, I will smack down all the BMW 335/M3 fanboys around my neighborhood (most of them are douche).
For now, I am pleased with what I got. Thank Jan for everything.

its a 1.8 for more revs.
you can smack down those guys with a M45 if you put it together right.

Smack down BMW 335/M3 guys with a M45? How?
Anyway, with the current state of my engine (smells gas on start-up, has rough idle and sounds like a Harley Davidson... but, after few mins those symptoms disappear after an engine restart), I couldn't smack them down. Probably the head unit problem. Last week, I just spent few thousands on eyes surgery (laser correction). Repair has to wait. Collin, where are you located? How far from Montréal,Qc (far, really far or really really far)?

I couldn't ask how much it will cost because you need to open the engine and evaluate what is good and what is not.
How long takes the engine rebuild (by sending to you, Jan)? How much could I expect to spend to fix it once for all? Have to budget that, you understand.

You know, I dont get it...
My Screen name is Colin Greene, yet everyone manages to get it as Collin.
Makes me think we have a ton of reading comprehension challenged people here.
anyway back to the matter at hand.
to beat a M3 you could use a 17% pulley/ Meth/ RMW head/RaceHeader/racecam/ lots of rpm/ the less weight the better
thats about it really.
However, a crank rods and pistons never hurt anyone. However, if the 335 is tuned. its gonna take a rotrex.
Them cars are fast on 20psi

I am disappointed to get that answer from you. Very disappointed. I am not living in USA (I am not American at all). For me, Collin could sound like a name more than a place in USA. Collin is shorter than writing collingreene. Why getting mad about that?
From your grocery list, I have mostly everything there except the meth kit, RMW head and the weight reduction. I have to forget about the weight reduction because I own a R52S.
