You had this at your house when I was over a few years ago with my Yellow SRT4, right? I think I remember looking under the hood and thinking to myself (what the hell???) ---

> [@Estorvito](#): > > I thought you sold it? Did you buy another one? Lets drop a 16v engine in tti :-0 I am totally down… Mine needs some TLC big time (I’m going through alot of oil and my transmission sounds like a blender full of pennys) I sold it to my room mate who has since sold it back to me. He broke: the rear door(backed into a tree) the driver side door, the front cross member, the transmission, the hvac ducting, the driver side mirror and a bunch of other stuff. If you got anything like that I’d love to start piecing this thing back together. It was originally so clean. -Alex ---

I like my 8v engine. I also have a 16v sitting in my garage. i was going to install it but changed my mind. Im selling that motor btw. lol 16v + turbo is the way to go if youre on a tight budget. Im going bigger next year…much much bigger. Looking to make close to 400hp with next years setup. 🙂 Should be fun[COLOR=“Silver”] ---

The thing that is amazing me is that all the info I have found in the past claimed the cranks can not take much more than 200 crank HP before they split. Not sure how much power you are making but with a 50 trim and 20psi it has to be well over that mark. I love it when reported info is proven completely wrong. Join Pirate4x4 and post this in the Suzuki section. The site can be full of ass tards but I think the suzuki section will get a kick out of this! ---

The site can be full of ass tards but I think the suzuki section will get a kick out of this! Im not sure how much power im making. Id love to find out though, lol All i know is that these engines make about 80hp stock. lol To be honest with you, i dont know how this engine is still running lol. Ive been beating the crap out of it since day one. I guess as long as i keep the afr where it is …it should last me all winter 🙂 I do have an account with Pirate4x4. I will try and post there later tonight ---

Update: After months of beating the piss out of it, engine finally started knocking. lol 22psi + stuck in mud for 30+mins then pulling another stuck samurai = Loud engine knock lol Looks like a bad bearing. #2 bearing is fu\*\*ed. Should be back up and running in no time. 30psi coming soon! lol ---

I was told there was no way in hell id be able to boost more than 7psi on stock internals and im currently @ 25psi My goal is to daily drive it @ 30+psi stock EVERYTHING 🙂 ---
