Hope to have pics tomorrow Martin my feeble brain forgot the camera today.
The look on Marks face when I said he could play with this Turbo was worth the money.

thought you guys were hoping to get figures by now? Hope the build is going to plan and no hold ups, be a shame not to hit the deadline!

Can't wait to hear the figures and read the spec used...

when is it on the dyno Mark? Can't wait to see what it makes and how it performs in its new trim.

Can you divulge any of the spec? or any info on what you have done to the engine to produce this kind of mind boggling power form a 2 litre, decades old engine design (albeit a Fkin good one ).

Mark,

What kind of power figure are you hoping for with the 42 turbo? surely must be in the 800`s FINGERS CROSSED..

Different setup i know Mark, but what did/does Si Norris make on the bogey with the 42 on??

Mountune, the last block twisted due to it being a 99 one and not the liners causing it.

What Crank sensor do you run Mark / Rod? I can't see one fitted in the pics? (maybe it just hasn't been fitted yet LOL) Also, where did the dizzy cap come from? or is it a modified std dizzy cap? Good luck tomorrow

Standard one, It is not fitted until its on the dyno just incase we damage it, Rod sorted cap.

Cool, that will do it. For a minute I thought you was going to say that you were running it with all the pipework and the rack attached too

Have you increased the valve sizes?

No the valves are still stock and the head spec has not been changed other than the exhaust giudes modifed from the 613hp engine.
