That's still only a "crank" rating, which bears no resemblance to wheel horsepower whatsoever.
200 crank horse, will probably cost you about $6 - $7k, all other things being equal.
None of the mods to make it happen will preserve your warranty.
Driveability will suffer.
Thats why most folks want to do turbos/superchargers....
Easy horsepower, and generally reversible.
Wrong in a lot of ways! You will definately gain more from intake/header/exhaust than from the ECU changes the Japanese Axela has. And alot of tuners are saying for 200whp it would be cheaper to go all motor than FI.
And how do you say drivablity will suffer? And I seriously doubt it will cost 6 - 7 thousand to do..... (headshake
