guys, kinda looking at getting away from the turbo, how hard would a g200 twin cam, mildly worked with twin webbers on it go againt a stock g200 w/ straight bolted on piaza turbo with injection, a dude wants to swap me and im seriously thinking bout it, just wandering how hard these engines go......... any advice would be great,

cheers guys

I have a G200W in my TF which is fuel injected and runs 9.5:1 compression, and that goes pretty good seeing as the rest of the internals are stock so if you were too go mildly worked with twin webbers youd think itd go hard for a 2Lt

But then again if you got tha money to spend then turbo it.

cheers

I know this isnt gonna help you, but i have the opportunity to get a G180 DOHC with EFI cheap, but i dont know what to do because people have told me to steer away from the DOHC because of the rarity of parts.

I must admit, parts for tha twin cam motors are fairly scarce but u can still get them. If i was u i would just work up a SOHC G200 because with the amount of money and effort it would take to stick in tha G200W you could have a G200 goin pretty hard and still be able to get partz pretty eazily.

My 10 centz
Cheers
