Or maybe you mean 210kW. The 18RG early model (88210 and 88230 head) came with 146Hp, or 108kW factory standard. add and exhaust, good air filters, and electric fuel pump and thermofan and you have way more than that. with all the work your talking about doing, you should be pulling way more than 200Hp, at about 10,000rpm. Gee... with that sorta work done, toyota managed to pull 302Hp from their racing 18RG's in the early 80's. To make them go hard on a budget, balance the crank, rods and pistons (i did the job for around $150 just recently, mind you i get trade prices and did the work on the rods/pistons myself), throw a new set of bearings and rings in, hone the bores, mix a bottom end from an 88230 motor (9.7:1 pistons) and a head from an 88270 motor (bigger valves and ports, double valve springs from factory... the 88210/230 had singles) and use the cams out of the 88230 motor. This will rev up around the 7-8 grand mark, depending on your cam timing, and other factors. Also use the carbs from the 230 head, as the later model carbs were for unleaded, made to reduce pollution, but had major design problems. Should bring you close to the 200Hp mark for a couple of g's if you do most of the work yourself. Another solution to the carbs is to run injection, using the 4AG silvertop quad throttlebodies and an aftermarket computer. This in itself will cost a couple of g's but will be VERY useful if you change your mind about the turbo. Check out some of the american sites like classic-celica.com for info on getting aftermarket pistons for 18RG's, as they have people over there that will cast the pistons... then you just need them sent over here.
