On a dyno at the wheels mate?
According to holden the motor makes 130 kW (174 hp) but thats at the flywheel not the wheels.
I also have another motor here for my project car thats 1.6L twincam naturally aspirated that according to the maker pulls 120 kW (163 hp)
I can bet that the torque figures are completely different aswel as both motors are made for different things.

hmm
U12 Pintara TRX
96 kW @ 5600 rpm
188 Nm @ 2800 rpm

VR commodore motor
Maximum Power: 130 kW @ 4800 RPM
Maximum Torque: 295 Nm @ 3200 RPM

well, way past how long i wanted this to take but it's getting there. Got chrome bar on today. This weekend inside tray, tailgate painted. Whole car wetrubed back and buffed. Fingers crossed by next weekend it'll be complete on the outside.

Yawn - well guess it's time for another update since my whole 10 day project has blown out to 10 months but life gets in the way at times. :)

Window tint went on today, extractors & 2" exhaust went on on thursday
