Yeah he's building an alloytec into a rwd starlet and boosting it. His ecotec turbo VB commy ran in the ten's.
Great tuner, doesn't frequent here often anymore.

@delco. The tuner from nz. Sorry can't remember his full name? He used to be on here a lot?
He is building something with a boosted alloytec but not who I'm thinking off.

The guy I remember was in aussie, a pioneer with the turbo ecotec and then into alloytec.

Somebody did a 1000HP Ecotec build, which was featured on Fullboost...


Another guy on YouTube (Corn fed Boost) has also made a high HP Ecotec...

I think both examples needed a new block so it's honestly not worth it...

Only going by another thread which was created 12 months ago.....I did put a link up, so I'll leave you have a read through.....Pollution mentioned the block grenading

Why not just buy a 2023 COPO Camaro with 1000hp out of the box?
At least you know everything around that 1000hp is built to take it and last. (Well, except the tyres. They will probably squeal for mercy - at every set of traffic lights, lol)
