Maybe you shouldnt be so dis-believing.

Nope. I thought of that as I was typing hence "derived"

I got a lot of respect for MHs car building skills.

Off topic Lee, how are you progressing health wise?

im sure 600 would be possible on a t4, it wouldnt be turning at the speeds you would really wanna see and it would be putting alot of heat into the charge but im sure its possible

I don't think so Gareth. Nor does Guru Karl

Gareth, I reckon the backpressure and restrictions on the exhaust housing would stop it making 600bhp... boost to power increase must be on a logarithmic (?) scale!

hi,

if you had seen the car like i have you would know the 600bhp one he means is the bristow thunder saloon,

and it runs a remote waistagte with a larger verson of the t4, a turbo guy i once talked with said it was an rs200 evo turbo know as a t rex,

the original engine was the same as my harvey car built by rouse, and this one is now built by mountune, it also no longer used the zytec ecu but a ford motorsport one, again seen these on evo rs200 cars,

so 600 bhp is very realistic!

unless rs200 evo can not make this power with the same turbo?
