Most Charismatic RV8??

[motul1974]

A strange question, maybe? I've a 450 Chim, and as much as it would be fun chasing BIG hp, my budget, along with a few years experience with fast Porsche's has led me to realise that what I get the most kick out of is charactor in a car, not soley how fast the speedo moves around. Hense my love of our cars.

With this in mind, I'd be interested in discoving what makes a 'great' RV8 engine, one with the most chasisma? Many have suggested the 4.3. Why?.... No cats? Exhaust? Piston Sweep? (think thats how to describe it)...or is there anthother reason for it?

I agree with both statements for Porsche, its just a case of which model? And what age?....Modern Porsche are generally uninspiring, but then aren't most cars these days? :-/

That's what people say, although I've never heard them, but its the WHY are they sounding so good? Is a RV8 not a RV8? - I know their not all the same, just wondering concentrate my future efforts on making my 450 even 'nicer'. :-)

From reading up on this site, it looks like decatting the 450 is propably the easiest and most effective way of adding 'charisma', but, what issues does this raise with the ecu? Will it run withoout them ok?

That's great, I can add the decat to my other winter prodjects....AND maybe a trip to Chip Wizards once I've saved me pennies!
