The turbo is a gt3076 as the engine was already built and came out of another car I had.

The finished car looks superb and the place where you took it to get the geometry sorted in Southampton is very good, he set up my 2wd Saff and there is a photo of it on his wall.

Did he take a photo yours to add to the ones of some of the interesting cars that he has worked on? He certainly knows his stuff and he does take his time to get it spot on.

Little update.

Well never made it out on the track last year as had a few issues when I was on the rolling road, we decided to call it a day as something just wasn’t right, we stripped the engine down and found a few small issues but enough to prompt a full engine rebuild to a more modern spec including management and turbo setup.

Im due to pick the engine up Monday and am hoping to have it fitted and back to my tuners with the next 2/3 weeks so I’m ready for when the weather turns as desperate to get out in it this year. I’ve also had the gearbox rebuilt with quaife internals and had the engine all put on multi plugs as that will make life easier in the future for removal and refitting.

Engine should be good for 600bhp now. 😎😎

Wow, this is so clean and I love the livery. Will you run it as high as 600 bhp? Should be lively on track at over 500.

Oh it won’t be staying that clean mate it was built for action just not had any yet lol. Regards the power it’s going to be on a 4 stage boost controller, not sure what each one will be set at yet but I should imagine it will probably stay on the lower 2 going in what a mates car is like.

Well engines back in and was due to go back to the tuners last week for the new management and rolling road session but obviously that didn’t happen which was a shame as I’m desperate to get out in it now.
