IIRC, it was never RRd in his car, but the previous owner got 136bhp from it with a Mantzel, jr fitted a Lexmaul inlet...
I might be totally wrong there though

matt had the engine before him thats where the power came from:
manzel
forged pistons
omex management
264 cams
sbd (btb) manfiold (i think)
ported head
was a very good bit of kit, crying for tb's really!

as said, its was rr'd in matt'c car wth a very restictive exhaust system with a cat iirc at 136bhp
i put it in my shell, with a bfo and decat, but never had it rr'd, it ran 15.7 at the pod on its one and only run
i then broke it, and fitted a 1.6 bottom end with the 1.4 head and cams, and a janspeed manifold, with a lexmaul, completly diffrent engine, which was as quick as an xe up to 70ish

Not at all, but it is very costly and unless he is doing it to keep in a certain clas ie under 1400cc then it's pretty pontless imo as it's be so much cheaper to stick a standard LET in. and the LET won't need rebuilding every 5000 miles!
