Yup, Bluesprint are reputable around our way..... Joe (the boss), knows his stuff, and am sure he used to work for Moutune in his early days.

DOO doesnt really know much about the enigne & i think he spoke to the guvna down there & was as helpful as he could b!

the engine seems fine sounds good & has just had it stage 3'd (320hp) so she goes a wee bit better now!


t34 & big cooler next i recon!

Cheers peeps

Got a rolling road print out with the car from when it was running a hybrid T3,says 334 bhp at 7150 rpm!!

The print out is from Power Engineering,did I read something on here that there figures are a bit on the high side???

Apparently it's greens are running at full cycle

suprised the peak power is so high up on the rev range would think the turbo would run out of puff?

Many people on here rate them highly, Steve3drals (itsmeagain) is one of them I beleive, however, as with any company you do get people who think they are shit...

Joe Stevens knows his stuff and in the racing game is held in high regards ! Ive always found him very helpful and eager to chat about these cars and the other stuff he gets involved with , anything upto and including F1 engines. i also have raced against cars powered by his engines, Phil Libby for example has a 600hp Sapphire , he was a bit quicker than me round Snetterton !! ( Not Much tho ! )

Libbys Saff is AWESOME

And yea, Joe does a lot of F1 Turbo engines, so i think he can handle a YB no prob, lol.

The amount of F1 turbo stuff he has is unbelivable, shedloads of engines, internals, turbos, manifolds, wastegates, everything.
