>>1816564The V6 is the answer if you could find one. My dad had one for work and said “It’ll pass anything but a petrol station”.
It’s easily tuned too.
What sort of kayaking you do, and what country?
I’m in NZ. This was my ultimate whitewater wagon. Fitted 2 Pyranha Micros in the back with seats down, room for 2 to sleep, and could get changed out of the rain under back door. Also it was putting out just under 350hp at the wheels - fastest shuttles ever. Wish I still had it :..(
The power only needed exhaust, intake, injectors, fuel pump and ECU re-flash which added up to not much.
