Ages ago, someone asked me if I had this article.

Well, better late than never.....!

Mark Lovell passey&porters car? The 4wd one turned up on eBay recently.

 

Yes, he was certainly involved with them....R.I.P.

 

And some more nice articles to read!

 

Good read!

 

Found another interesting old test last night on a road-going Turbo Technics Sapphire that Mark Lovell was involved with developing. Seemed to suggest it had a compression strut/separate ARB front end ( as on the Minker? ) to try and give improved handling/turn-in. I'll post it up later if anyone's interested?

 

Why is stroking so rare when it comes to YB engines? Offcourse the engine needs to be taken out and cranks aren't cheap but 0.4 litres is big addition to tiny 2-litre engine.

 

I bet the costs are astronomical

 

The block height is too low.

 

Its not rare but on the standard YB Block 2150 is near max to work efficiently that 2.4 simply didnt work very well thats why you dont see it now.

 

The cost of modifying the block is enormous due to the amount of man hours it requires.

 

This is a TT Cosworth ARB

 

Have you got that set-up on your car Paul?

 

Of course we're interested!
