I recently fked up on a compression test, and now im disassimbling the engine. Since im taking the whole thing aprt, im goona do some upgrades. Im just wondering have anyone got around 200hp with a N/A KA? if yes wut are u mods? how high can it go ? Do any of our sponsors sell a kit with all the gaskets, and bolts and stuff for a rebuild? thanks for reading, any feedback will be much appericated.

if your taking it apart, just rebuild it for turbo. its not worth having an all power KA when you can have turbo for the same price

All depends on what you mean by rebuildthat goes all the way from simply re-ringing it to replacing everything in the motor.Are you looking for 200 at the wheels or at the flywheel? there are many threads on getting 200 at the wheels so try searching for a while.

IMHO turbo is cheap but N/A is better and more drivable (if done right)
