Why didn't they get a Saph Cossie. Get the car for Ł4000 and that would leave Ł30,000 plus to spend the same as that Lotus.

Sure I heard the Lotus box was about as chocolate-esque as the Pulsars is sposed to be

Why did they use charge coolers as well Surely a big capacity intercooler would have been better

Steve,
They were reconned and tweaked standard turbos . As soon as he said that I knew they would never achieve 200mph . Also, if they don't change the gearing or hike the rev limit, it won't do above the 175mph "book" speed, as this speed is achived on the limiter (7k) in fifth. I know, as I've maxed one out on the A47 .

Also FUCKING TIFF NEEDELL AND WASTEGATE CHATTER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .

FFS NO dumpvalve makes that noise!

Only reason cars with Blitz/HKS etc dumpers make that noise sometimes is the spring rate is so strong the vavle dont really open, giving the car chatter....

Rich,
S4s are just 2.2 litres charge-cooled turbos, the GTs are V8 are low pressure non-intercooled twin (tiny) turboed 3.5 litres with 75bhp more - big difference .

Ish. The Sunbeam uses the 912 engine, whereas in turbocharged format it is then called the 910, but these are all derivatives of the original 907 engine.
