so they about 245 standard
you say it has a hks back box (not even full exhaust)
and a super senqu BOV
'the list goes on'
ya gunna need one hell of a list to get to 400 bhp
with them mods ya looking at about 265-270 (IF THAT)
i take it it has had uprated pistons etc, as the standard 3SGTE engine would not handle 400bhp on its stock internals

yep a load done on the engine obviously..but im not sure what he had done to it to be honest.. just know it was a jap inport and the engine had been tuned before he got it.. the car was full of midnight racing gear also..so its possible it was an ex street racing car..when the engines were rebuilt i think he had them rebuilt to match what the car had previously...
Adam B seems to know his stuff.. probably the same sort of spec.. yeah the sale was quick cos he thought the car was just about to die on him again..
