Volvo T5 engine featured took it from 210 to 715 bhp. Big old turbo bolted to it and some interesting bore strengthening well worth a google

 

Yeah I watched it. was quite good.
They pinned the block - quite common to stop cracking liners & or block and add strength. -theres actually better ways than just the pins. like a deck lid conversion to make a 'closed deck' block.
Was still and impressive power hike an looked like driving the buggy would be balls out fun.

 

just watched it after my mate told me about it..fooking love T5 estates and them engines..wow..

 

Quite a big thing in the Subaru world block pinning ect, there's a company down south that actually coverts the open deck block to a closed deck block but dunno how good it is. Old smokey yb ain't all bad after all lol

 

Watched it last night was awesome
