Shipping those to the US is gonna cost a fortune...it cost me 68 bucks to ship a DOHC Honda head from NJ to CA. Overseas, for two your looking at good 2-300 bucks if you want it quickly. 1-150 for a 2 month wait.

I want them too, but I don't have a 30V block to put em on...or the money to buy them

ehhh... a 30v block would be easy enough to come by.. I would just be worried about manifolds.. Turbo's etc, etc could probably run a standalone system.. but still there is probably more that I would be overlooking

It's not worth it....I've looked into it. Just like it isnb't worth trying to SC my 96.

As cool as that would be, the supercharger from PES is probably more feasible and easier to install. It is $5K, but that includes EVERYTHING, so you won't be leaving anything out. If I really wanted HP I'd go sell my 2.8 that I've had for about 2 months and go buy a 1.8t, but I'm not that ambitious.

You'd need a few thousand more on top of the PES kit to put it on a 12V and it will probably only make 240 or so to the wheels. The 12V heads are complete garbage compared to the 30V.

If I had a 30V I would defenitly keep it and make my own custom sc kit. I'd end up using an m90 or something similar and mount it like the 1st gen PES kit. With my 12V, there isn't much worth doing to it, I was in denial at first.
