Paul,
          Have found a car with a new motor fitted (and pranged) for sale at possibly $2000.  Then there is a "very good" motor only for $6000.  The car has a  13b motor and the engine only is a renisis.
    I really want a motor with approx 220 Hp plus, so allowing that both motors are what they say, what are the costs invloved to get both motors individually ready to install in a plane ??  Just what has to be done ??  At this stage I am only mildly interested although the car is tempting at that price, but it is also 700 miles away.  I do not know if either is an auto or not,  Lets allow that they are not.

You drill a couple of p-port holes in the rotor housing and install intake tubes
and a slide throttle. That will give you 250 HP at 7500 RPM.

We have just re uploaded the How to P-port video back on youtube.

I don't know what this cost in Australia.
What kind of power tools do you have access to?
What city are you in?

It cost too much to ship the rotor housings to the US while just
about any shop in Oz can do the holes. It is pretty simple.

You would be real lucky to get 200 HP if you used any part
of the stock intake system.
