Yeah bro i agree... For the price of a mx7 these days i have seen half cut rb25s going for abit more or less!. Not worth it at all.

hey buddy yup stock a6 bottom end. 3 commetic. i think it takes the comp to basically the same comp as the a8 motor 7.8.1. the nistune cost me $770 including tuning.i think its excellent value and its kinda more legal then most other ecu's as the nistune retains the afm.my power was also limited by the stock afm. but you can put a z32 afm witch will allow more power. once i sort out a good gearbox and clutch im aiming for 300rwkw
