As the piston went it gouged out side of the block, so it was a whole new engine time.

There is already a 2.0 L4 Turbo that delivers 400hp; it's called the Mitsubishi Evo X FQ400... and no doubt in the very near future, 500hp will be a reality!

No shat Sherlock I'm not ignorant, I'm talking about an engine that puts down 400-500+ RWHP (rear wheel horsepower) not HP measured at the crankshaft.

The the crankshaft is where nearly all manufacturers measure their horsepower rating as it produces a higher figure, until manufacturers start measuring HP where the rubber meets the road; that's the only comparison we can make. And I never intimated that you were ignorant; I don't know the horsepower rating of every car; that doesn't make me ignorant!

talk Kw please Metric is now

You're right myownalias, power figures are obtained at the fly wheel, not the rear wheel.

Yes you are right about where the hp is measured from with every manufacturer and daym I sounded abit pissy so please accept my apology as I know YOU know your stuff .

Apology accepted horse power like sound system amplifier power is measured at a point that flatters the statistics; my home surround system is rated at 120 watts per channel but it reality output from the speakers, where it counts is more like 60w per channel (an annoyance that I have had with amplifier manufacturers for a long time). OK, back on topic... sidetracked!
