YES the 18RG did get a 300hP kit. it was in some of the race cars that TOMS built in the early 80's. They were not 1968cc... but closer to 2200cc as they were heavily bored. They also had VERY lumpy bump sticks, and did not produce this power until they reached in the vicinity of 10,000 rpm or more. Furthermore, they ran ultra high compression, and a hefty dose of very expensive high octane fuel. They idled at around the 2000rpm mark, and produced super sluggish power below about 5000rpm, where they started putting you back in your seat. Anybody considering such an engine for the street should screw their head back on or pull it out from under the rock they are below. These also had modified blocks for extra oil and water distribution, and extremely balanced internals... dont attempt to build one unless you have race-precision equipment at your disposal. I have heard of 1 person getting hold of one of the unused spare motors and putting it in a street car... they pulled it back out about 2 weeks later as they couldnt drive it.
SO... yes, 210kw can be pulled from an atmo 18RG... but not very easily. if your after that kind of power... turbo the bugger.
Cheers, Owen
