well the standard sierra engine puts out about 47kw - which is about 63HP
gti engine puts out about 74kw - which is about 100HP

minus the drivetrain loss on both engines which was about 10HP on the gti engine which is the only one which was dynoed

so i gained about 37HP

thanks

havent had it offroad yet to give it a workout only been running 3 days

feels very torquey down low though not sure if its due to the extractors (same as kermit & tweety's) or the tune

have to get the dyno printout to see what torque its producing

Any reason for using the "microtech lt8s ecu" rather than the standard computer?

Is this a direct replacement of the computer, or just a chip?

Very nice.
Any chance of a pic of the right hand side of the engine?? Im running a 87 GTi engine in my SJ410, but have been considering retiring it so I can swap the engine into my 96 coiler. This is helping the decision process :D

the reason i choose the lt8s is its a fully programmable computer which uses its own wiring harness.

there are a few RHS pics in the gallery of my website.
