I have an 80 chevy luv and wanting to keep the 4 cyl. The thing is ive seen the holden g180s run on youtube and cant find much info on how they get that much power in the little g180 motors. I would like to pull atleast 350whp out of mine. Any leads or info would be a great help. And no v8 swaps dont care for them sorry.
I originally was going to do the g180 build but ended up settling on v6 swap. In my search for power I realized that the money was the big concern. The other posts showed where to get the parts and in order to get that power you'll have to turbo it. All the parts are available and to turbo it will be the easiest way otherwise you'll be buying a lot of custom parts that will require a lot of engineering on your part. Turbos and manifolds on ebay all day. Spool for the rotating assembly and crow for the cam. Intakes will be a little difficult but there are some dual side drafts available as well side Draft 50mm webers will support 500hp. I would luv to see that engine. Another difficult item will be finding studs for the mains and heads. Good luck!
