Its a Turbo technics conversion they done about 30 of them back in the early 90s.
Runs standard compression and low boost which is instant well usually hits 9psi at about 2000 rpm the cams take to limited its not the fastest car in the world gives some people a fright though.

The engine was bought off the boards he takes the credit for the rebuild with cams e.t.c

are those ACTs or Coolant Temps?

those blue hoses look photoshopped weird...

looks cool tho

2 hints tho, if the car's got ABS then try n get some heatshilding put hehind the turbo where its near the ABS block, as in the summer n traffic n stuff it can boil the brake fluid which is a pain in the arse coz u gotta sit n let it cool down again before continuing...

also sitch the dumpvalve n get some chatter!

jase, the hoses look photoshopped, its weird innit! i think its where the rest of the pic looks B&W but the hoses stand out so much...

and at that level of boost you should still get some nice chatter, n some even better wheelspin

200bhp on that engine is not to be sniffed at, thats bloody good going

And if it goes wrong it cost the same as a mars bar wrapper to fix.

e.g Last year Sat Morning 10am alternator died, local scrappy Ł10.00 plus vat later up and running fixed by 12.15pm.

Bargain, oh a set of plugs are Ł4.56 and leads are astonishing at Ł14.50.
