I can reccomend AG Motorsport, but not 100% sure on whether they work on K-Jet. Given how touchy K-Jet is, I would never bother sacrificing reliability for more BHP, what bottom end do you have on your block, the 2l bottom swap can see similar (6-8 BHP) results.

6-8bhp? I'd have though you'd probs get a wee bit more than that with a 9A or 6A bottom end?
I spoke to John @ bedrock a while back regarding putting an ABF in my 16v and he reconned K-jet with a 9A bottom end would beat an ABF in the real world but that goes against what I've heard and seen from others on here and my experience of my own ABF would comfortably destroy my current mk2 despite being a heavier car. I dunno if I got a "good one" from the factory but this is the reason for me going down the ABF route also as it's sitting outside my house taking up space it seems almost rude not to swap. IMO ABF is torquier from lower down and KR is a bit gutless before 4000rpm then goes mental, bit of a, dare I say it, V-tec thing going on there...
But as the saying goes there's no replacement for displacement... :grin:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
