question 4 those of u wiv big power xr2 turbos, im thinking of building one just wonering how quick r they, ie what sort of cars have u raced and beat.

Depends greatly on the spec of the engine and the skill of the driver. It's not all about the engine you have to take into account suspension and brakes, A good setup is equal to 20bhp in the straights. You will be able to corner quicker and brake later which is advantagous.

Would think a genuine 200bhp XR2T would be quite a weapon

joel_winders

genuine being the main word ... new set of tyres every other day lol

my mates gota 2.1 zvh escort rs pushing out about 250bhp,would this b faster than a 200bhp xr2turbo.

Oranoco

I myself have a 250bhp RST and my bro has a 200-210bhp FRST. It's closer than you might think. I only see him off properly once 4th gear is picked up

ive got the best part of 200bhp and its stripped out and fooking quick! in 2nd and 3rd i havent felt anything much quicker FWD wise. I ve raced/beaten Mr2 turbo, BMW 3-everything, brand new 6 series, Type-r civic...few other things!

digita1dragon

I think mines over 200 but it hasnt been Dyno'd at its current spec.
Im hoping to get into mid 13's this year. It did 13.9 a few years back. Its a fair bit quicker now but currently got a misfire dont think its anything serious though, I just havent had time to fiddle with it
