Re:OMG my motor is gone!
Mini-me is awesome. Jeff, you said it made about 130 hp right? Did you mean at the flywheel? I'm a little scared of it's high compression, but it seem's to be a great mod for good HP. BoostedED9 got some serious power out of his (using 2mm headgasket) and of course a monster T3/T4 @12 psi. Look at his sig!
All I want in my rex is a built ZC sitting at 12psi. Wouldn't this be around 220 to the wheels (intercooled)? I'm guessing more with a high CF/M turbo.

TurboHF, seem's that we are alike. I'm also dumb enough to do a swap without a lift... I'm not calling you dumb either
Make sure you tell us how it works out... maybe some pictures? Run a Dyno too!
