SBD kit doesn't normally get 164bhp, people tend to get 147-155ish from it.

I got c16xe with tb's, headwork, cams, verniers etc and have a genuine 164bhp.

Mine is perfectly reliable, behaves like a normal car, I get good fuel economy when I want to.

Insurance isn't that bad with HIC, for £20 I do an average of about 170 miles, I used to get more but found the fuel filter was blocked Thats with commuting in traffic and some kaning it.

I bought it from various places new and secondhand, but to buy a basic tb and management kit from SBD your looking at about £2k plus fitting if you cant do it yourself.
