    I need to sort windscreen surround out (weld new in) fit new 4 pots, remove turbo for a re-work and get bigger injectors as the standard 225 ones are maxed out. Get a remap with more boost and hopefully sit the power around 300bhp!


    Lets have some progress pictures up chaps!!

    Definately wasnt standard power if you ran 97mph through the trap, more like 170-180hp

    i am almost positive the engine had never been worked i got the car from an old family friend and he owned it for years and it was standard when i had the car it still had a baby t2 on it with a standard cam i done 5 runs that day and they were all between 14 and 14.4 seconds running no more than 11psi and on dunlop sp1 tyres

    i must just be a fantastic driver

    I plan on dropping the F7P in low boost conversion for now while I build another engine up for more boost, prob won't push that one much over 300bhp though as the gearboxes prob won't like it
