Repco are right, there is no point. However if you really want to K&N make one and the part no. is E2690 but they retail for about $140 so unless you were intending on running your car for about another 100k+ then it's not reccomended, just stick with the stock paper one.

On my last dnyo run, with a shaged ingnitor and head gasket my 2e made 95Kw's at the wheels, so 140hp should be easy

To be hosnest, you are p*ssing in the wind trying for that kind of power. For the money you will spend you could have a 4EFTE in there, and have 100ish kw standard, with plenty of room for improvement.

Although it is possible to get the 140hp from a 2E, it will cost too much, it wont be reliable, any will be nearly undriveable. Not to mention throwing its economy out the window.

Not worth the trouble in my opinion.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, 140hp is basically DOUBLE the factory output.

The 2e-t engine is actually quite a strong little engine. The don't breathe the best in stock form but 140hp isn't a big ask if you know what your doing. Getting 140hp from a NA 2e is a fairly extreme exercise thou :D
