or that  but for the 3bhp it realises, and a mildly better port design, its a bit of effort

there good engines, get a different inlet and some mild cams and once mapped you could be knocking on the door of 150bhp

Mine was great. Nice strong engine with no problems. Even after 110k it ran like a dream everyday

yer afm = air flow meter. Big ass sensor that sits on the intake pipe near the airbox. Usually causes some jip at some point or another from what I have heard.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

ive got x14xe and its basically the same engine so i will say something lol....my headgasket went at 106 but other than that no problems at all. Bascially on 115k now and its shit hot. I just dont nail it from bone cold....and i change oil every 3-5k.

If you buy a good one in the first place they are nice and relible so just make sure you get one you know is good to avoid hassle
thats all i really want tbh is some something that is nippy & is fun to drive
i got over took @ 70mph the other day off a corsa c 1.2 twin port that pissed me off
