From the TSR website
2.6l 5cyl short engine (2226cc exchange)
Based on the 2226cc block, these units are fitted with a longer stroke crankshaft and bored to 82.5/83mm for a massive 2.6ltrs. To take advantage of this huge capacity we recommend the fitting of our Pack 'C' head in which form the engine will produce up to 185bhp.
TSR PACK C 10V
To release the full potential of the 5 cylinder engine, these heads are re-engineered to accept the same 40mm/35mm valve specification as used in the Pack C Golf heads.
With similar attention given to porting and gasflowing these engines will easily give 170bhp when fitted with an appropriate camshaft. These power figures are similar to Quattro Turbo engines but without the turbo complications.

What was the load input for K star?

Hi Andy
Thanks for the info I had not seen the TSR details. Are you missing the S2 yet or still happy with the 350Z?
Yeah I'm sure more modern injection and ignition would offer an advantage but at what cost, maybe beyond its worth for power gains so I was going to keep it simple although not totally ruled out as there is someone local who maybe able to offer a cheap (ish) solution.
First off though I would like to get hold of one of the conversions, push comes to shove I look at a 7a block and kv block I have here and start playing.
Really appreciate the input by all......Thanks keep it coming
