800HP Mazda KL V6

Hey guys, thought i'd share something i just found. Hope it hasn't been posted already (did quick search, didn't find anything)

http://www.offroadvw.net/bajawes/800.../wetdream.html

Pitty it went into a Holden. Also down the bottom is a link back to a site about a VW Baja has had the KL V6 put into it.

Brad.

P.S Sorry if this isn't the correct area to post this in.

I think I have seen this same engine in its latest form, as I recall 1000 horsies not a paltry 800.
see if I can find the pic but it is the ugliest car ever, the intercoller would be roughly 1 square meter,

The way the intercooler piping is hidden is cute.

...shame that it looks stupid hanging out the front like that!

What you talking about the Gen 3 V8s cant even last last a couple of years without piston slapping against the sides of the block. But you take a GTX-GTR engine coming out of 1990-92 car. You can drop it into Astina or Laser bang on a bigger turbo and be pumping out 160KW-200kw at the wheels for years.

I dont consider it cheating Its just A completely different thing with all motor
Thats why its called All Motor
Its Apples and Oranges and one day you will realise that
As you can see its quite easy to extract a ****load of power from a boosted KL
If I boosted mine then it would be as well
So what do you want me to do Beat you with a non assisted KL or would you prefer I attach a snail and flog your little white arse with it
Either way mate you will only ever see the rear end of my car
Soon
And just for thew record All Motor is its own category in Sport Compact
