Engine options on KF laser

[Ruger]

Hi,
im looking to build a cheap track only small car
KF laser can fall into this category (also looking at 20v ae82, b16 civic).
i would be starting with a cheap straight body and engine/gearbox would be replaced as will suspension breaks wheels and tyres

im aiming about 200hp n/a or more i was wondering what motors could be slotted into the laser and how tuneable are they (aftermarket parts availability).
b6 engine springs to mind but i know sfa about them
could someone please educate me or point me into the direction of a source of info on them.

cheers

So you only want N/A? Ignore the B6 engines, the BP engines (1.8L DOHC EFI 92Kw @ fly) are solid and have huge potential if you have huge pockets. They also slot almost straight in as they come stock in the KF TX3's.

You'll also want the G Series gearbox from the KF TX3's, you won't have any problems being FWD.

If you want to go forced (who wouldn't..)
BPT's comes stock in the KF/KH TX3 4WD's and the engines are plentiful (117kW fly)
BPD's come from the Mazda Familia GTR's (142kW fly) and they are the same as the BPT's apart from stronger internals/management/AFR .. There are KF TX3's running almost 300kW with these beasts.

You will get a lot more information then I can provide at www.fordlaser.com In particular if you are interested in N/A only PM 'Razor' as he has a rally car BP powered and is the N/A guru around those parts.

hmmm it seems i will probably go with a corolla as i can get a ae101 front cut for >2500 that comes with a 20v blacktop (137kw n/a) ecu loom 5spd lsd box big front brakes and better suspension
throw that in a 1000 dollar corolla and i should be able to have some fun.
ill check out that site and well see how i go

137kw N/A? Crazy! Good luck with it
